Guest miked9372 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 you can move with the lights on in em3 idk about em4 try when the car is driving turn them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madforce Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 you can move with the lights on in em3 idk about em4 try when the car is driving turn them onThey will auto turn off once the car begins moving. the only time I've seen them stay on is if you reposition the unit and it only moves slightly. Ordering the unit to drive any distance other than an extremely small measure will turn them off. I'm sure it's possible, but it would have to be something a bit different then the current, or unlinked with the redirect function they have if it's purely for visual purposes. I'm not sure I'd like having them stay on and then redirecting any car the unit passes unless i remember to turn it off. However, I do see it often when actual real world units have then activated while mobile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 This was disscused awhile ago, and deemed pointless. I forgot all the reasons given but basically it would make traffic jams all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 The command creates an invisible officer behind the car who starts redirecting traffic. When you move the car without deactivating that command the invisible officer stays behind and keeps redirecting traffic and worse, blocks other units. So I suggest you do not even try to alter the script before you also start complaining that it does not work.Like other people, I also do not see a reason to redirect the traffic while the car is moving (?). All emergency vehicles already drive faster than civilian cars. Each time an emergency vehicles passes a car, you want that car to get redirected? That will CERTAINLY cause problems with the oncoming traffic on the other lane(s). There is no such thing as a smart AI in this game. vehicles just start blocking each other...Looks like you haven't really thought about this.

cops Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 you can make it to floodlightthan you only need to change the command from directional to floodlightbut than will the traffic NOT be rederictsrry for my english Cops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 As Hoppah said you cannot have a car moving with the directional lights on.The lights itself are not the problem, it's the functional part of the command that will cause problems.

Alexx12 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 how i can move with the directional lights? i want to use it in my submod I thought abt the same thing! I think it would be useful when car on patrol stucks at jam. On the road with 1 lane to each direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 But it will cause problems. You can try and edit the script if you want but it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx12 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Random, I know its no use to edit that script. Do you think I dont trust Hoppah? ))I have now idea how to do this I just said it would be useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptThade Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I remember someone posting a video on youtube about how the CHP does a serpentine maneuver with the directional bar on and basically the unit weaves across all lanes and slows down traffic, usually because of high density traffic, or a construction zone.

C.F.D Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I remember someone posting a video on youtube about how the CHP does a serpentine maneuver with the directional bar on and basically the unit weaves across all lanes and slows down traffic, usually because of high density traffic, or a construction zone.Its called Round Robin; Its to slow down traffic and to alert drivers that there is a pursuit ahead, or a serious accident.

simking Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I did have a question the flood lights how do u move them? it says their directional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I did have a question the flood lights how do u move them? it says their directional.The vehicles with spotlights like the USAR truck, do not move. You would have to move the truck if you need the lighting positioned differently. The only flood lights you can easily control are the hand held ones the engineer uses. You can rotate it by clicking the circular arrows in the control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 No problem, I hope to combine the 2 floodlight scripts to allow the truck spot lights to rotate as well but havent accomplished this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 No problem, I hope to combine the 2 floodlight scripts to allow the truck spot lights to rotate as well but havent accomplished this yet.I hope you do succeed. It would certainly be easier than moving the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
