Recommended Posts

Guest lightningguru26

Hello all, i have done a search and can not find what i am looking for.... what i was wondering is .......is there a way to command vehicles to park in parking spots? a example would be if i buy a additional unit, and i want to park it at FS1 , can i command it to park in a open spot that way it isnt in the way at the station?. I see screen shots of people that are doing this, but i dont know if it is a homemade script or am i just unaware of how to do it in the game. lol. Thanks is advance!!

And, in answer to your question, you have to modify scritps. It is possible, but, make sure you know what you're doing first. I'm ready to heave my computer out the window, because I modified some scripts, and they aren't working. That means my game won't work. It's very annoying, but possible :)

Do you mean you want to pick a rig, and a parking spot, and have them park there? Cause the only options you have are to assign each specific unit a specific parking space...

well what i was thinking is, if i were to buy the large ambulance, instead of having it patrol or just be in the way, i could have it park in a empty parking space at FS1 or FS2. The same would go for any other unit i bought.

Yeah, see, what you wants is to pretty much pick a unit, pick a parking spot, and they go there. You can only assign one unit to each parking spot. I'm sure making it so that the units search for an open parking spot and park there, but I don't doubt the scripting would be a nightmare. It may be possible, but not without a LOT of difficulty :(

No worries man.. it happens :) And, I suppose it wouldn't be too too hard to have 3 parking spaces for 3 or 4 units to choose from; look at the ALS ambulance script for returning to base. That could probably be modified to suit your needs :D

HAHA.. yeah, I thought I did, but, I guess I was wrong :P

so just to clarify... so this thread doesn't steer away from its topic, the only way to get diff vehicles to park in empty parking spots is to modify some scripts?

Yeah.. The LAToFireStation.script. It's pretty intense, I'd suggest gettin to know a bit about scripting first, and make sure you back-up your files. I made the mistake of not backing them up :'(
