Automatically disabling bluelights?

[Ghost Graphic Designs]

Hi.

 

Just wondering if there's any way of making a freeplay script that makes all of the commandable vehicles on map automatically disable their bluelights when the freeplay finishes loading?

 

For example, incorporating this part ( v.EnableBlueLights(false); ) in the freeplay script without having to do it unit by unit.

 

Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to achieve exactly? You've got me a bit confused. Is this for the default game's freeplay or for a mod?

It's for a mod. I'm seeking for an edit of the original freeplay.script in order to when you start the freeplay, all of the emergency vehicles that you've placed on the map don't have bluelights flashing.

Aha, I see.

Well, I know some things about this, but not much.

I'll take the LA Mod for example. This contains a script called LAFireStationStart.script. This spawns all vehicles and personnel on starting a freeplay game. This also contains the parameter you stated before, namely:  v.EnableBlueLights(false);.

The bad news: This has to be done for every unit. The good news, it can be done fast. Just copy over that line, including the very last bit of the line above.

Then place your cursor behind the line you want the BlueLights parameter below and hit paste.

This should neatly paste the line in between the other lines.

 

Hope this helps.

Copy that. I'll see what I can do.

 

Thanks for the help.

Hi again. 

 

Do you know how can I disable the fire department units menu? The default one from which you can call the RW, TLF, DLK, etc.

[timmiej93]

Do you mean the Fire Department button in the left bottom side of your screen in freeplay? Where you can call any FD vehicle you want?

[Ghost Graphic Designs]

Yep. That one.

[timmiej93]

I wouldn't know from the top of my head. You could try downloading a mod that has that feature and looking around in its code, or trying to find info here on the forum.

Will do. Thanks for the assistance. ^^

Try this in the start up script

 

l1 = Game::GetGameObjects("vehicle-name"); //Fahrzeugname

 

if(l1.GetNumObjects() == 0)

{

Mission::PlayHint("Fahrzeug befindet sich nicht auf der Karte!");

}

else

{

o1 = *l1.GetObject(0);

Vehicle v(o1);

v.EnableBlueLights(false);

v.EnableBreakLights(false);

v.EnableSpecialLights(false);

v.EnableHeadLights(false);

 

}

 

 

Note that this does 1 vehicle at the time only.

For the menu, you need to remove all the fire vehicles in the freeplaybase.xml file. That file is your menu, so anything you take out of that, you take off the freeplay call menu.

OK! Thank you!
