Cosreski Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I can't believe that we don't have standpipes on buildings instead of fire Hydrants in front of buildings. Here I have Pix of where I put a set and a photo of a real one. Hope to see these in the future of LA Mod or any other USA Mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Nice idea. Do they actually work ingame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisscow41 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 it would also be really good if the engines could lay supply line from a hydrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulbody Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 that wouldnt add any feature, the engine doesnt allow a max water limit, so you dont have to full up your engine, the engine cant get out of water even if you want to.

Guest pmadden94 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thats actually a really good idea...it would take a lot of work to do that for every building in the mod..but it should be possible. I'm going to play around with it a little..Here's my idea;Just move a normal hydrant inside the building so only the connection part sticks out..that would be the easiest way to do it..Don't quote me on this...but I think the hydrant itself, like the hoses, are hard-coded....its likely i'm wrong..

billyfromhill Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Now hold on a minute. Aren't standpipes used for supplying water to the building? It sounds to me like what everybody is proposing here is just the oppisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizza Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Standpipes are used as a water distribution system within a building. The firefighters carry un-charged hoses to upper floors, connect to standpipe connections on those floors and charge their lines. And yes, the water goes TO the building from a pumper.-d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some mods have a limited water supply, it's not impossible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfd Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 It just reqiures very advanced scripting and someone who knows how to do it and has the time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the other firefighter gets out and starts to attack fire while the driver gets the pressure and the captain or officer (sitting in the right front seat) gives commands. Simulating all this would take quite some work and I don't have the knowledge or patience to do it so I cant blame the way it set up now. :-) However I just think it would be cool if the engines could lay line for a pinch of extra realism.

I thought it was just a fire hydrant mounted on the wall of a building...Well then..this may not be as easy as I thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dionissimus Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Just my opinion...This can be implemented, but is so much work for such a relatively small change in gameplay. I think the best bet would be to wait for the next version of the game and see if something like that is in there already or can be easily added.

theparanoid Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 LIES! Some mods have a limited water supply, it's not impossible...Yes it possible. However Hoppah has said he not going to do it. So for LA mod there is unlimited water supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
