randomperson139 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The suggestions thread was closed for a reason. Don't give more suggestions.What do you mean by manual siren script? You can turn the sirens on/off in the LA Mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisk1 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 One thing about the flashlight-issue: I can't really see a use for it, other than the obvious lightning supplied by it. But in what cases do you really use the floodlights etc to light up areas?I rarely use it, except at when big masses of people are gathered and I need to distinguish my rescue personel from civilians.Since there really are no incidents in Emergency where you have to for example search for a burglar or inspect a vehicle at night, the flashlight becomes more or less an eyecandy.Sure, it's realistic that a police officer would carry a flashlight around, but when would you use it?The alternative is to have flashlights activate automatically at nighttime, but that might just look ridiculous...I'm a bit torn here.

randomperson139 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 If you want to use lights then call an engineer and set up floodlights or call a unit which has floodlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisk1 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 If you want to use lights then call an engineer and set up floodlights or call a unit which has floodlights.I agree that this is a valid solution. It's usually what I do.But again; the flashlight could be a nice addition, since it adds a bit of realism. One could imagine police officers exiting the patrol car, and activate their flashlight. This would add a small cone of light right in front of them, and the user could turn it on/off with a button in the commandbar.On the other hand; it's not really usefull, it's another lightning source that need to be rendered, and it's timeconsuming to make. Probably not as time consuming as making a vehicle, but non the less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Someone would have to make a script for it, which would take time. It's not really useful so I don't think anyone would spend time making a script for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really useful so I don't think anyone would spend time making a script for it.Neither do I, and I don't expect anyone to. I don't expect Hoppah or anyone else to make this for LAmod, I'm just stating my opinion about the idea. If I could, I might give this a shot. But I can't.

Fisk1 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes, please post screenshots if you have one! If there is a flashligh in EM3, it should be able to transfer it to EM4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Doesnt em3 la mod have aflash lightThat's probably why he suggested it. edit:The command in EM3 LA MOD was useless and not perfect. The officer did not hold a fleshlight in their hands nor pointed it to the ground or an object. It was basically just a light on the chest of the officer that you could turn on and off.

This feature would not be very realistic or useful, so I can see why this isn't included in EM4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mission I'd use it for is the 9th one cause it gets dark fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisk1 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The only mission I'd use it for is the 9th one cause it gets dark fast.Yes, this is a good example of a mission where a flashlight might be useful. But really useful, or just a little?I guess it's up to one self to decide.Bottom line; I wouldn't mind having a flashlight-function in the game, but I don't feel like it's something that needs to be developed right now.Who knows what the future might bring, though.
