changing vehicle staffing

[kyle308]

I did a search but didnt find a topic that pertained to my unit. I am wondering how you change the staffing in the ALS ambulance so that it contains just 2 fire medics instead of a fire medic and a stretcher man.

You have to edit the unit.xml for the ambualnce. Open it and remove the defaultcount line from below the FF_PARAMEDIC_STRETCHER and change the defaultcount of the FF_PARAMEDIC to 2. You will have to do this twice. Once for Campaign and once for freeplay.

EDIT: I just realised you want to change the staffing at the start of freeplay. I think you will have to edit some different files for this. I'm not sure which ones though.

HI!

Go to the following folder:

...\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Scripts\Game\Command\

And open LAFireStationStart.script with NotePad

Go to line 171 which should look like this:

m.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLCREW, Caller, 2, false);

Change the 2 to a 1, so you will get this:

m.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLCREW, Caller, 1, false);

Do the same thing in line 187.

You might also want to edit LAFireStation.script and do the same thing to lines 220, 241 and 262, otherwise the 2 FF/PM's will only spawn at the beginning and not when the alarm is raised again later in the game.

Good luck,

Hoppah

ok i changed it up. time to find out if it works lol. I only do this because its more realistic. you rarely find 3 people on every ambulance.

btw thanks for the help.

well it works great. lol I missed an ambulance though when i changed the scripts so the 3rd truck was still in the original haha. but otherwise its fine
