NOTICE: IF YOUR HAVE YOUR AMBULANCES SET UP WITH BOTH PARAMEDIC AND STRETCHER TEAM, YOU PROBABLY CAN SKIP THIS WHOLE THING.

Long story short, I had my call scripts set up with two medics, and I was using the Police ambulance script so it would call any of the four ambulances. I was tired of not hearing the specific Chief call audio, and of losing the few "precious" seconds it takes to select the medics and have them get a stretcher. I decided to see if I could take the Police command and turn it into ALS Response and BLS Transport scripts. A little trial and error, and I seem to have gotten the kinks worked out.

Step One: Add the following commands to the LABattalionChief script.

Response Script - Nearest of the four Ambulances will respond with two medics.

object PcmdCallAmbulanceMedics : CommandScript
{
PcmdCallAmbulanceMedics()
{
SetIcon("callambulance2");
SetCursor("callassistance");
SetValidTargets(ACTOR_FLOOR | ACTOR_VIRTUAL);
SetDeselectCaller(false);
SetSelfClickActivation(true);
SetHighlightingEnabled(false);
SetGroupID(CGROUP_GETEQUIPMENT);
SetGroupLeader(true);
}

bool CheckPossible(GameObject *Caller)
{
GameObjectList SelectPer = Game::GetSelectedGameObjects();
if (SelectPer.GetNumObjects() != 1)
return false;

Person p(Caller);
if(p.IsValid() && (p.IsLinkedWithPerson() || p.IsCarryingPerson() || p.IsEquipped() || p.IsPulling() || p.GetFirehoseID()!=0 || p.GetEnteredCarID() != -1))
return false;

if (p.IsCurrentAction("EActionTreatPerson"))
return false;

if (!Caller->IsValid() || Caller->GetType() != ACTOR_PERSON)
return false;

return true;
}

bool CheckTarget(GameObject *Caller, Actor *Target, int childID)
{
if(!Caller->IsValid() || Caller->GetID() == Target->GetID())
return false;

if (Caller->GetType() != ACTOR_PERSON)
return false;

Person p(Caller);
if(p.IsValid() && (p.IsLinkedWithPerson() || p.IsCarryingPerson() || p.IsEquipped() || p.IsPulling() || p.GetFirehoseID()!=0 || p.GetEnteredCarID() != -1))
return false;

Step Two: Launch the EM4 editor, load up the LA Mod, select the Batallion Chief, add "PcmdCallAmbulanceMedics" and "PcmdCallAmbulanceTransport" to him, and remove "PcmdCallAmbulance1" and "PcmdCallAmbulance2", and then do the same for the Paramedic Captain. If you want to keep them for the sake of nostalgia, or the purpose of setting up another crew complement for the original scripts, you can probably skip removing the old commands.

NOTE: FOR SOME REASON, ADDING THE COMMANDS TO THE PARAMEDIC CAPTAIN GLITCHES HIS ABILITY TO GET AN EMERGENCY CASE. Not sure why.

Step Three: Open "\Lang\en\command.xml" and add the following.

<string name="PcmdCallAmbulanceMedics">Call a response ambulance</string>
<string name="PcmdCallAmbulanceTransport">Call a transport ambulance</string>

And that should be it. Thanks to Hoppah for the original LA Mod, and Xplorer4x4 and YSB for their submod that I use (I slightly edited those scripts so they should be compatible with the base mod. Results may vary with any submods). Next I want to see if I can do the same for the ALS/BLS engines.... but I think that might be out of my reach, not to mention changing the Light Force commands. Only one way to find out, though.

Also, I found a little tweak to stop the lights from turning on until a dispatched vehicle actually leaves the station with just a simple "comment out".

Find the following lines in the BattalionChief script:

if (v.IsBlueLightEnabled() && (Input::LShiftPressed() || Input::RShiftPressed()))
v.EnableBlueLights(false);
else if (!v.IsBlueLightEnabled() && !Input::LShiftPressed() && !Input::RShiftPressed())
v.EnableBlueLights(true);

And add "//" to the start of each line.

Yeah, I noticed that, though the weird thing is they just replace the regular ALS/BLS scripts so there shouldn't be a problem of "more" commands.

Maybe if you can manage to put the "Get Medical Bag" to the main menu, though I don't know if there's room, or if it's possible.
