Thats quite impossible

really nice idea, Hoppah. It'll add a lot of realism to your mod. Are you going to add any other bomb squad veichles to your mod. I know they have a similar truck for the bomb squad like the Police heavy Rescue truck in your mod

No, because bomb squad doesn't play a large role.

Great work, man. I'm glad to see you're taking the bomb robot challenge, that's something I thought would be just too hard to make. That truck is also sweet! I knew from an old post that you'd be doing a bomb squad unit, and knowing the real-life unit, I was hoping you'd make it for your mod. I've got a few suggestions based on the real-life unit though :

1- The LAPD bomb squad uses shorter lightbars that don't span the whole roof width (Basically they're a little more than half the length of a standard lightbar).

2- The actual bomb squad truck doesn't have fender flares (the dark-gray plastic thingies around the wheel wells) so those areas would actually be white like the rest of the truck.

I included a (poorly) photoshopped picture to show you the differences :



Also, the real-life unit is a Chevrolet Tahoe, while the one you used is its bigger brother, the Chevrolet Suburban. The difference is that the Tahoe has a shorter rear end, and the door lines are right next to the wheel wells. However, yours is nice, and since the LAPD has used older Suburbans in the past, it makes sense to use a newer one as well.

About the bomb robot, I know you said you wouldn't make more bomb squad vehicles other than the Tahoe, but bomb robots are quite big, so it's unlikely they could fit in the rear on an SUV. Furthermore, they're quite heavy, so they usually need a ramp to be deployed. You might want to keep the SUV for the bomb technicians, and make a cube van or step van to carry the robot.

I will change the bomb squad vehicle, but I'm not going to make more bomb squad vehicles. Two reasons:
1. Creating a whole new model, texture and all other coding takes a lot of time. That's also why I didn't make a Chevrolet Tahoe, I used the Suburban model from the battalion chief instead.
2. Bomb squad isn't very important for Emergency 4. I don't want to spend my time on something unimportant. Besides that, I am very very busy with missions and other stuff, like creating 5 scripts for the robot.

Maybe I will add a second bomb squad vehicle in newer versions than 1.3. I just don't want to spend my time on new vehicles & units anymore.
btw. I can't view the fortunecity pictures. I think it's because I don't live in America (other IP number).

Thanks for tips,

Hoppah

I'm from the US and I can't see them, either. Maybe Fortunecity doesn't allow links to the images from a member's website...

You're right! When I paste the link into the address bar while I am visiting a normal website (no forum), it works!
I like the white van (last picture). I think SWAT uses those vans too.

[Voodoo_Operator]

Yeah, sorry about that. I always forget how free sites have troublesome off-site linking policies.

@Hoppah : The Suburban is fine. :1046275747_biggthumpup: I just wasn't whether you deliberately used it or if you didn't know the difference between it and the Tahoe.

New pictures of the robot with the texture:

In Zmodeler 2:


Zmodeler 2: Arm will move to this position when robot is disarming a bomb. This is not an animation, but a I used a code to open "doors". And the arm is a "door".


Bomb robot & Bomb Squad


Bomb robot, Bomb Squad & Bomb Squad SUV.


The robot is a bit too large and too long, so I might changing that.
Oh, the SUV doesn't have a smaller lightbar and white fender flares yet.
