Madman Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Could someone help me switch the USAR and HazMat trucks in LA Mod 1.9?I'd like to get a little more activity out of Station 2 and think the USAR would be better suited there.Can someone tell me what to edit in what files, or better yet post some edited files up for me? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi mad man, you need to change several scripts to get this to work. LAFirestation.script, LAFirestationstart.script, LABatlaionChief.script and LAtofirestation.Open the LAFirestation start scripts, search for VO_HAZMAT and post some of the code before and after here and I will give you some pointers to try it on your own so you can learn. This way you can slowly start altering the stations to your liking. Personally I like the tower in FS2 instead of hazmat so I have a unofficial light force in that district.

Newfoundking Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 The Batt Chief script I don't think has to be editted since there are already all the commands that are needed in there already. I think the only time that script needs ot be editted is when you are adding in new units to the stations, not switching two that are already there.

Xplorer4x4 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You might be right, but i thought there was gate references in there, so in that case it does need edits, but im just trying to give him something to build on so he can try to learn.

billyfromhill Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Last time I tried changing vehicles in the stations was back in 1.6 and the battalion chief script didn't need changing. I don't know about now because of the standby commands and such now. I don't know how it'll work though since you'll have a USAR squad in each station. Most likely the command "call USAR" will dispatch the USAR in FS1. the command "call a HAZMAT will most likely call a USAR from FS2. If you wanted to call the closest USAR then you'll need to edit the battalion chief script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!Hi Madman,Long time no see. Hope all is well. You will need to edit the Battalion Chief script as it makes reference to the relative gate numbers and such.I am at work tonight, so I won't make any promises ..... however, if we don't get too many runs, I will try and knock up a working alteration to those scripts for you.Look forward to catching up.Takce careShane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Appreciate all the help guys. I was unsure of the amount of change needed to scripts and maps because I simply want to switch things around and not add/remove anything.Thanks Shane - email me when you have a chance and we can talk about this and other previous projects.

Madman Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 OK, I edited the LAFireStation and LAFireStationStart scripts. I then went into the editor and opened the map and simply changed the name of the VOs to try and switch their location.My problem when I start the game is that although the units are in their new stations and they spawn the correct characters, the trucks are pointed in the old direction of their old location.So, the HazMat which is now in Station 1 is pointed sideways and facing the way it would need to if it was at Station 2 still. The same applies to the USAR.Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then as you probably know, there have been problems on the forum so I was unable to upload till now. Anyway ..... here it is.Madman.zipThe scripts included are the LAFirestation, LAFirestationstart, LAToFirestation and the LABattalionChief. All necessary changes are made for you to copy the scripts into the script/game/comand folder. I have left the old VO's named as they were so they do not need to be changed at all from a clean install of LA Mod v1.9.3 (so USAR parks at vo_hazmat and Hazmat parks at vo_usar) - let me know if you want that changed so that the name reflects the vehicle.Both vehicles will spawn the correct crew, will return to station and will respond to request from BC - have tested repeatedly so you should not have any problems.Take careShane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
