The Loot

One last thing I can think of trying is going back to the original Tiller file and try having this in the Tiller section in the StationStart script: if (m.HasCommand("DummyTillerCheck")) { m.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_NEWLIST, "DummyTillerCheck", &m, 0, false); m.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "DummyTiller", &m, 3, false); } That second command is used to position the trailer when parking in the station, hopefully it would position it properly on spawn. If that doesn't fix the issues, I'm not really sure and sorry I couldn't be more help.

Actually, are those sounds supposed to be something repeating that follows the vehicle, or just something that just plays once when you execute the command? If the latter, the whole soundID thing is unnecessary in the first place. You can actually just replace if(StrCompare(Caller->GetPrototypeFileName(), PROTO_UMH) == 0) { soundID = Audio::PlaySample3D(SND_TOCHUMH, Caller->GetPosition()); v.AttachSound(soundID); } with if(StrCompare(Caller->GetPrototypeFileName(), PROTO_UMH) == 0) Audio::PlaySample3D(SND_TOCHUMH, Caller->GetPosition()); and so forth with all the other protos. If the former, like sirens, that's a larger process.

It looks like the cab isn't being told to set rotation into position like the other vehicles in the start script, does it place properly itself? Maybe that causes the improper trailer position on spawn. Try adding m.SetRotation(gate3); after m.SetPosition(Tiller); and see if that fixes it with the original Tiller commands.

Looking at your script file again, looks like you also changed line 371, from float dx = 250.f, dy = 0.f, dz = 0.f; to float dx = 0.f, dy = 0.f, dz = 0.f; Maybe that's causing the issue? Could you upload your LAFireStationStart.script file? I'm actually not sure exactly how the original LA Mod deals with spawning the Tiller in the station at start. Looks like there's the script that checks for vehicles at the map fire vehicle spawn to either add or delete the trailer, but nothing else seems implemented, as far as I can see. The Tiller isn't even set to spawn by default, just the Tower, and while the instructions say to change the prototype referenced there, there's nothing that would spawn the trailer.

Nothing else Tiller related changed? If the Cab spawns correct in the station, the trailer should spawn behind it correctly without any changes.

"soundID" isn't properly set up because you're missing a declaration of what it is. You need the following somewhere before the first use of it: int soundID; Just stick it at the top of the script with the constants.

There's a script that runs after loading that spawns and sets values for vehicles, find "setspeed" in it and adjust for each vehicle. Traffic vehicle speed is set in the paths they follow, and you'd have to change those in the map editor.

I started to, but realized I don't have the time at the moment. I'll try again soon, but I'll have to reacquaint myself since it's been years since I really messed with the game as a whole.

Should be this one:

Well, there's the method used in the old NYC mod: a script that constantly scans an area containing the map spawn points for units, and then runs commands like those I mentioned when it detects a unit there. Could take a look at that.

There's a limit to how many commands can be put under the Equipment submenu; exceed it and that happens. I don't remember exactly offhand, but 10 is probably the limit as seen there

Last emergency-forum post and video from the team was over a year ago it seems.

Yes, actually. A line in each vehicle spawn script can do it. Find the last "PushActionShowHide" command before the Lights/Sirens/Move commands, and insert a "PushActionWait" in front of it, like so: n.PushActionTurnTo(ACTION_APPEND,Rotate); n.PushActionWait(ACTION_APPEND,5.0f); n.PushActionShowHide(ACTION_APPEND,false); The numerical value is time in seconds you want to delay the vehicle appearing and carrying out further actions.

When I saw Alex's video, I was really surprised at a sudden public release of this. Dusted off the ol' game to give her a try. Great quality! Traffic can be an issue, with vehicles getting stuck at intersections for unknown reasons (but probably the usual traffic light glitches). Treatment system is nice, but needing to RTFM outside the game makes it difficult. Script error.

You may just have to replace it with the original mod map, or figure out which Virtual Objects (I assume this is what you refer to) you deleting and recreate them with the same names and locations.
