OK, so the script loads up.

 

You said you read the readme, but I don't believe it got updated in the latest version. Make sure to compare all child objects and commands on the Demo Mod's vehicles to your vehicles to see if anything is missing.

I assume this is for freeplay?

 

 

 

Yes,

!WATER, Start DummyCheckWaterSupply

is there, but no vehicle gets a dummy object with an assigned water level.

 

Possible causes:

 

1) The script does not get repeated, because the "water_supply_main" object can be interacted with during gameplay. What object did you place on the map to act as the "water_supply_main" object? You may have the same problem as Hereweard Fyning had with his LA Mod Submod. An object that can be interacted with in any way cannot be used for  "water_supply_main", so do not use an object that has traits (Hereweard Fyning used a buoy before wich has a trait so cranes can lift it from the water), can catch on fire and definately not an object that is commandable. I used a satellite dish object from the HouseChildren folder for the demo mod.

2) Your vehicles are not recognized by the script. They must be either TLF, GTF, LPF or DLK type. What vehicletype are yours? If they are RW, it will not work. In that case, give me your script and I'll make the script compatible with RW vehicletypes as well.

3) You've edited WaterSupplyFreeplay.script, made a boo-boo, and the commandscripts are broken and cannot be executed anymore.

It works!

 

I used a beercrate.. now a satteliet.

 

Thanks!!

Are you talking about Rapid Deployment or something else? It's possible, yes. But I wouldn't recommand doing that. For rapid deploy its important that you can use the hoses as fast as possible and therefore, one of the fire fighters immediatly starts activating the pumps. In the mean time, 3 others can use their hoses instantly and the 5th fire fighter install the supply line.

If we change this, it will take about 10 seconds before any of the hoses can be used, because the pump controller gotta install the supply line first. Not very practical in my opinion.

Any thought on my idea about the pump op being the one to remove the line during Undeploy? How would I go about making that happen?

Hey, managed to get everything working up, supply line hooked up ect the only problem is the that when the other firefighter pulls out another hose he can cool or extinguish for 5 seconds, and then suddenly looses those commands, any idea's

[The Loot]

Sounds like you've got the latest version. It includes the need for a person to run the pump on the vehicle. If the person has the "PcmdPumpSwitch" command (and the vehicle has the "VcmdPumpSwitch" command), when you hover over a vehicle with hoses attached, they cursor should change to a gear icon. After that, attached hoses should work. Rapid Deployment should automatically have one person do that immediately.

[BrentMIC]

I've added the commands to the firefighter and to the vehicle, but there is no option to turn the pump on, when I hover overthem it gives the option to disconnect the supply line and they have no icon for turning on the pump

Hi Hereweard Fyning,

can you tell me what you have exactly changed in the LA Mod files.

I tried implementing the script twice with no success although I followed Hoppah's guide. It crashes right after the loading finishes.

 

Problem solved! I implemented Hoppah's script succesfully into the LA Modification. The brush patrol works as a water tanker and the foam tender works as a TLF with a deck gun.

 

Problems now are that I can't pickup traffic cones, flares, barricades etc. anymore. Propably because I use the wye and extend hose logic. Maybe someone can help me here.

 

Next goal is to make the watercannons on the engines work. I'll have a look Hereweard Fynings tutorial and hopefully I can make it work.

Would it be possible to release this in something other than an .e4mod file? I can't get my installer to work and have searched and tried the methods on the site and still no luck. I would really like to play with this to add to different mods, including the LA mod, and a personal mod I have been working on. It looks awesome and I've been itching to try it out. If you think you might have another solution for my mod installer problem please PM me so we don't get off topic. However if the files can be released in a .rar or zip file that would work just as well.

 

Thanks,

I have been having an issue where after I attach a fire hose to my engines, the extinguish and cool commands disappear. However if I just attach a fire hose to a hydrant, those commands are there. And yes I have transferred all of the necessary commands from the test mod to the LA Mod. Also, Hoppah, how would I be able to make the script compatible with the RW vehicle type?

That's because the hoses become uncontrollable if there is no person to run the pumps of the Fire Engine.

 

I know alot of people have plenty of specific wishes for this modification. Seeing how complex the logic already is, I cannot go into specifics regarding that at the moment.

[Mentor1159]

No there was definately somebody running the pumps. i have been trying to fix this issue for about a week now and a friend of mine has the same issue.

Hi,i'm new here,sorry for my bad english.

 

1.Thank you Hoppah for great scripts,it is perfect and runs good.

 

2.But i have a question: I will make a Waterline,you're mod is so: Hydrant-TLF/GTF-wye-firefighter.

 

What must I be done,I will it so:  Hydrant-Wye-Wye-TLF/GTF-Wye-Wye_Firefighter.

 

I hope you understand me,sorry for bad english,and thanks.

Okey cool. I assume we're talking about the freeplay version, right? I'm pretty sure your problem has to do with pump guy, if he cannot be found by the script, the commands disappear. The principle is that you need a working pump to spray water, thus when no pump guy present/found > script disables cool/extinguish commands)

 

Couple of questions, to see if I can locate the source of the problem:

 

1. Just to be sure, does the fire engine have a child with the name "pump_controller"?

2. Does your fire engine have the command "VcmdPumpSwitch"?

3. Do your firefighters have the command "PcmdPumpSwitch"?

4. When the pump guy is working on the pumps, is he in a looped animation where he slightly bends forward to give the impression he controls the pump (actual anim is called "useextinguis")?

5. If you use the 'Rapid Deployment' command to undeploy the fire engine again (when hoses are connected to it), does the pump guy enter the vehicle too?

6. Does your fire engine have any other custom complex commands? If yes, which ones?
