Very special announcement for today: Bama1234 has been very generous to give out his new M1078 LMTV truck to me to be included in the truck pack. Link has been updated. Official EMP link coming soon.

Good idea. That would definitely reduce the CPU strain, but I still have to figure out how to link GetNumActiveFireChilds() to each burning object and then link them to the people within range of the burning object so that the people will cough and take damage. Still waiting on Hoppah or bma to give light to the situation.

*POOF* *Suddenly appears* What newer cruisers? Didn't I already do the latest Ford Taurus, Explorer, Expedition and Chevrolet Caprice? And yes, I would consider making fire engines, if I only knew how to. US fire engines seem so complicated, they might be outside of my skill range.

I tried this at first, but the game does not have a function to look for active particles. It only allows me to select any of the following in the for loop: TYPE_UNKNOWN, TYPE_OBJECT, TYPE_PERSON, TYPE_HOUSE, TYPE_VEHICLE, TYPE_OPEN_HOUSEI also tried this fucntion as an if condition: GetNumActiveFireChilds() But it causes a script error because the function is intended to be uses in conjunction with an integer value.

They achieve that using a mission script. I made one for use in freeplay, which is based on a looped command script. Both of our scripts though are based from the smoke element of Mission 2. Thanks for trying to help.

After doing all those cars and trucks, I decided I should finally let this see the light of day. Its a script that makes people not wearing oxygen tanks cough when an object is burning. int DummyGroup = 29;object DummyFireCheck : CommandScript{ DummyFireCheck() { } bool CheckTarget(GameObject *Caller, Actor *Target, int ChildID) { } void PushActions(GameObject *Caller, Actor *Target, int childID) { GameObjectList gol1 = Game::GetGameObjects(TYPE_OBJECT); for(int a = 0; a < gol1.GetNumObjects(); a++) { GameObject obj = gol1.GetObject(a); obj.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "DummyBurningCheck", &obj, 0, false); } }};object DummyBurningCheck : CommandScript{ DummyBurningCheck() { SetGroupID(DummyGroup); } bool CheckTarget(GameObject *Caller, Actor *Target, int ChildID) { } void PushActions(GameObject *Caller, Actor *Target, int childID) { GameObject b(Caller); if(b.IsBurning()) { GameObjectList PersonInRange = b.GetObjectsInRange(200.f, ACTOR_PERSON); for(int k = 0; k < PersonInRange.GetNumObjects(); k++) { bool IsSpecialFireFighter = false; Person p(PersonInRange.GetObject(k)); if(p.GetPersonType() == PT_FIREFIGHTER_MASK) { IsSpecialFireFighter = true; } if(!IsSpecialFireFighter && !p.IsInjured()) { p.Hurt(INJUREREASON_ENERGY, 10.f); int random = Math::rand(); if (random % 4 == 0) { if (!p.IsPulling() && (p.IsIdle() || p.IsWaiting())) { p.PushActionInterruptAnim(ACTION_INSERT, "cough"); if (p.GetGender() == GENDER_MALE) Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/FX/voices/man/0/contamination01.wav", p.GetPosition()); else if (p.GetGender() == GENDER_FEMALE) Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/FX/voices/woman/0/contamination01.wav", p.GetPosition()); else if (p.GetGender() == GENDER_CHILD) Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/FX/voices/child/0/contamination01.wav", p.GetPosition()); } } } if (p.IsInjured()) p.SetBloodPuddle(false); } } b.PushActionWait(ACTION_NEWLIST, 4.f); b.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "DummyBurningCheck", &b, 0, false); }};Now, my issue with this is that everytime the script is executed (it is intended to function as a loop), it causes massive lag. This is because EVERY object in the map has to be checked if it burns, and then the people need to react accordingly. I have tried adding a condition that only checks objects with FireObjects, but it makes little difference. The second major issue is that it only works on objects, not on houses, openhouses or vehicles. Can any of the scripting masters help? Thanks.

Thank you. Good that you like it.

2nd emergency vehicle made in 12 hours from one of my trucks. Well done. I knew making that International was a good idea.

Your are getting good at modelling. Only 2 hours after release and there is already a unit of my trucks. Well done.

So I wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so, download link for the trucks here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2eyviq4dzuifg1/American%20Civil%20Car%20Pack%20-%20Truck%20Addon.rar Report any bugs please. Enjoy! Civil cars patch coming up soon, along with a patch for the vans, and a little surprise for you guys.

Try and compare the F350 from the current pack and compare it with the one I posted. Note that the bumper is shaped much better to the real version. I also added polygons to the wheel arches so that it is actually filled and not hollow. Udpate: Its done. All vehicles done so far. Now for testing.

While working on the utility truck, I decided to update the Ford F350 model. This will make it into the Civil Car Patch 1.3 along with the truck pack. The utility truck is to be skinned. Ambulance version is also coming soon.

Wanna keep things simple for now. But if someone could provide me a blueprint or guide, I would seriously consider making one.

I dont plan on an animal control truck. Would a utility truck suffice?

The trucks? Most of the truck models are round ~2k polygons. Garbage truck, tank truck and dump trucks are around ~3k. As for cars, the scratch made cars are >2k polygons. Converted models are slightly higher.

A little more work and it will be out. Any last minute concerns?

Ew...how trashy! Garbage truck rear from GTA IV Trashmaster by R*. Modified and UV Mapped by me. Still WIP....and the last model to be done for now.

how u liek?

Having fun blowing things up? Imagine having that kind of a disaster ingame. And somehow, all the exploding gas tanks missed the police van...

Are you referring to the airport hostage mission in EM3 LA Mod? Or mission 10 in the EM4 LA Mod. There are also airport maps available in the german forums.

One half. I'm loving the food trucks Dyson!

This seems like a difficult script job. I hope you can find a scripter who can do the job. My opinion/analysis on what needs to be done. It would probably involve a randomly triggered script in the game that spawns objects related to each event. The script would then make things happen, depending on each event. It would need to check the area if it is clear of obstructions before spawning the objects, and then create them without interfering with anything ingame. Perhaps look at the way Winterberg mod does it. And then the script has to check if the objectives have been completed and then delete any remaining objects. Another option would be to create a campaign based freeplay - VERY difficult seeing as how not a single mod on this site (except Helping Peter by bma and US Army Mod by Hoppah) has one.

I'm not him, but I think he'd have to go through the difficulty of getting permission to use the CVPI's and childs from the police upgrade mod, along with whatever content that belongs to others.

I guess my little secret vehicle pack is out. I've been sitting on these for some time now. I hope that it would see the light of day here.

Mod would probably in english since it replaces a lot of the original language files.
