Anyone figured out what to edit to make them connect to the trucks instead of standing hydrants? It's annoying the hell out of me. lol

I think TheNorthenAlex had a hose connected to a truck in his video not to sure though

sent from my samsung galaxy s4 mini

it seems that the firefighters pick the Hydrants first, if there are no hydrants available anymore that they will connect to the truck.

Biggest joke in EM5 is connecting hoses to the RW, Rüstwagen is vehicle without pump and water tank, it is similar like the american Rescue truck, big heavy truck with many rescue equipments but zero water.

Some rescue trucks have small water tanks.

I sew it in some videos where the firefighters connect the hoses to the hydrants insted of th fire truckes and this annoys me, cuz as a firefighter (with the israeli fire service) i can tell u that u can't connect a hose to a hydrants and spray water from it, its just impossible, so if someone can pls find a way to make the firefighters in EM 5 connect the hose to the fire truck first it would be great cuz its driving me crazy seeing it.

Not true. the fire trucks used in EM 5 as heavy rescue do have water (about 3000 liters) they are similier to the kind used in my local fire station and i can promise u it does have water.

Yes but this game is German, and a Rustwagen does not (normaly) carry water in Germany.

[the wolfhunter]

we use the german fire trucks here in israel, and u can trust me when i tell u they do have water in them.

This game isnt set in Israel... In Germany a RW doesnt have water. It might in your country but not in Germany.

[mlovetto22]

Yeah, they do it randomly it seems. I've tried to edit the specs file hydrant distances.. (I think that's what it was) but they wouldn't connect to standing hydrants or dynamic hydrants at all. The "use dynamic hydrants" is set to true by default for me so I don't know what they meant by making it more interesting when they don't use them but ever so often.

[DavidPhilp]

I changed the usedynamichydrants line to false, but it seems to have no effect. My firefighters are still looking for hydrants. Anyone else have this issue?

[mlovetto22]

If you change it to false they'll never connect to the truck. True lets them do it occasionally. I guess we'll have to wait for mods. :-).

[Robin Uppgren]

If you change the hydrant type from FIXED_HYDRANT to VEHICLE_HOSE_CONNECTOR on both the normal hydrant and the hydrant_ground they tend to choose the vehicle if it's closer.

 

I'll check it out more tomorrow, night!

We in our beatiful Czech Republic also use german fire truck, and most if this trucks are Ladders, Rescues or Hazmats and Supports, if that vehicle is from German does not mean that carry the  water.

 

Similar type of FIRETRUCK to the EM5 scania, different chassis, photo from poland.

change where ?

[mlovetto22]

It's on the RW in the editor but it's default to vehicle_hose_connector

[MARCO]

So what I need to change ?

[Robin Uppgren]

Find the hydrant in prefabs, in the editor there you can change it.
