Police Sirens

[Sukkaed]

 

Another thing my player base has told me, you can spam siren on and it'll repeat the siren noise over and over making it sound like multiple sirens.

Quick and simple togglable police sirens and blinking head lights to black SUV and Police Lada :)

 

Add to description.ext right above "class RscLoadingText : RscText"

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = {siren};
    class siren
    {
	name = "siren";
	sound[] = {Scripts\sirens\siren.ogg,0.5,1};
	titles[] = {};
    };
};

Add to fn_selfActions.sqf right above "//Grab Flare"

//Sirens
_isCopcar = typeOf _vehicle in ["SUV_TK_CIV_EP1","SUV_TK_CIV_EP1_DZE1","SUV_TK_CIV_EP1_DZE2","SUV_TK_CIV_EP1_DZE3","SUV_TK_CIV_EP1_DZE4","LadaLM","LadaLM_DZE1","LadaLM_DZE2","LadaLM_DZE3","LadaLM_DZE4"];

if (_inVehicle and _isCopcar and (driver _vehicle == player)) then {
        dayz_addsirens = _vehicle;
    if (s_player_sirens_on < 0) then {
        s_player_sirens_on = dayz_addsirens addAction ["Siren on","Scripts\sirens\sirens_on.sqf",dayz_addsirens,2,false,true,"",""];
        s_player_sirens_off = dayz_addsirens addAction ["Siren off","Scripts\sirens\sirens_off.sqf",dayz_addsirens,2,false,true,"",""];
        };
    } else {
        dayz_addsirens removeAction s_player_sirens_on;
        dayz_addsirens removeAction s_player_sirens_off;
        s_player_sirens_on = -1;
        s_player_sirens_off = -1;
    };

Make "Scripts" folder to your mission file root if you don't have it yet and place "sirens" folder inside.

so should my description.ext look like this?

    class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = {intromusic,siren};
    class intromusic
    {
    name = "intromusic";
    sound[] = {intromusic.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class siren
    {
    name = "siren";
    sound[] = {custom\sirens\siren.ogg,0.5,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };

Add one more closing bracket at the end like this

    class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = {intromusic,siren};
    class intromusic
    {
    name = "intromusic";
    sound[] = {intromusic.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class siren
    {
    name = "siren";
    sound[] = {custom\sirens\siren.ogg,0.5,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
};

works perfect its to bad we dont have any cars to put it on with working lightbars so u get the red/blue lights. also i have question the siren playes then cuts off then restarts is there away to make it continuous so there isnt a 1-2 sec delay in it restarting.

I have lightbars but they are too bright and inside a car. Would need some work to get those working correctly.

I haven't noticed any pause between loops. You can adjust the loop lenght in sirens_on.sqf

for "_i" from 1 to 12 do {
player action ["lightOn", _vehicle];
sleep 0.2;
player action ["lightOff", _vehicle];
sleep 0.2;
};

One loop lenght is 12 x that block, so if you change it to "from 1 to 9 do" it will start the next loop 1,2 seconds earlier.

This is a realy cool feature, and my player love it. Bad is that the "blue light" just work with the s1203 ambulance i added an the Lada, i like it how its rotating on the ambulance would be nice if there is any chance to add this to the suv not just the noise :D

nice script! but im a little bit confused ^^ what is now the working description and and the fn_selfAction? can somebody give me the working description and fn_selfaction?

[Nexarion]

For me this works:

//Sirens
_isCopcar = typeOf _vehicle in ["policecar","pook_H13_medevac_CIV"];

if (_inVehicle and _isCopcar and (driver _vehicle == player)) then {
        dayz_addsirens = _vehicle;
    if (s_player_sirens_on < 0) then {
        s_player_sirens_on = dayz_addsirens addAction ["Siren on","Scripts\sirens\sirens_on.sqf",dayz_addsirens,2,false,true,"",""];
        s_player_sirens_off = dayz_addsirens addAction ["Siren off","Scripts\sirens\sirens_off.sqf",dayz_addsirens,2,false,true,"",""];
        };
    } else {
        dayz_addsirens removeAction s_player_sirens_on;
        dayz_addsirens removeAction s_player_sirens_off;
        s_player_sirens_on = -1;
        s_player_sirens_off = -1;
    };

[Nexarion]

If you don´t already have one you´ll have to create a new one.

[Sukkaed]

Take a look here for example how to use fn_selfactions -->

[FUNsniper]

Can't figure out how to turn on the sirens, dont think im doing anything wrong, is it left click to turn the siren on? Cuz it says "horn" on the top right.

[Nexarion]

You should have a new entry in your Scroll-Menu. But only when you´re driver of one of your defined vehicles.

[FUNsniper]

I put the scripting in how I was supposed to and I am in the vehicle, and I am not getting the action menu selection... Any help?

[tommy rampage]
