Question:
Yes/no?
Option 1: +1
Option 2: -1
Since i couldn't find this in the 'do-not-suggest list', or in the board, here we go.
Firetruck missions, because why not.
Instead of doing /work, and getting a car fire to go to, why not base it on the same system as securicar robbing.
Say every 1-5 minutes, a car will spawn anywhere on land (near roads w/e) in SA, on fire. Any players spawned in the firefighter skin/class (SAMP do have skins for them) will see it become red on their map, + a warning/notification on their chat (much like when a player becomes wanted while youre a cop).
After maybe 10 minutes the car on fire will disappear, or w/e.
If youre first to put out the fire, then you get 1 score obviously. I cant really think of way this would be farmed (like securicar). Would be a long achievement, but yeah C:-)
As a prize maybe you can get the Firetruck LS (the ladder one), like the free stretch you get in chauffeur missions.
This could also invoke more clubs like firetruck clubs, etc :)
+1 for it since its a good idea but wait what if some mad/psycho trucker is going nearby the car that is on fire and randomly rams it and it explodes then the player will loose mission coz of him. If you have a solution for it then it really will be a great idea

Because you can't lose it if you don't type /w, read what the man said. And yes, it could be nice, and bloody long too.

Cars don't take damage if there isn't a driver (didn't you notice that with your trailer?). Only way people could wreck the job is pushing the car into water or flipping it in some way.
OT: I think this needs some refining if it ever gets implemented, but aside from that. Why not. :like:
Would love to see new missions. Firetrucks are awesome to drive. +1 to the suggestion ;)
was previously discussed somewhere about the fact that the "fire" cant be synced with the car or something, but yes +10
I think the fire particle can be attached to the vehicle.
the only "fire" objects are the tiki torch and a thing from a casino.if you are talking about 3c objects then yes, could be attached but again, remembering something from somewhere, someone, I think Matt, said they cant be synced

I did notice but what if he gets in the car and ram it ! Won't the car will blow up ?

Yes they can. But i dont fancy the job of going through vehicle's 400..600.
Fire isn't also synced, the same for vehicle damage as me and Joshy found out.

The Tiki torch is the thing from the casino. There's also particle objects. See: http://wiki.sa-mp.com/wiki/Objects_0.3c#Particle_Effects
I expected a server mapper to know this Ethan.
I like this suggestion. It'd be fun to script,
BUT the only downside is the damn firetrucks are so scarce and expensive.
Make the car have 300 health like tow truck missions. You cant get in them i dont think, they dont drive and cant be fixed.
Or h/e it works lol.
Again, make the firetrucks cheaper, us admins can add more at fire departments, make the class spawn at the departments.
:D
Its such an easy fix, its not a problem.
And house on fire?

Well thats not an hard task to do since I have already tried scripting it. And if you need I can send you the mod in which I used that script.

I would have expected you to read, and there is at least two MTA objects that produce fire Dobby

object #s 3461, 3525, (not sure but) 3524
Quote from: WhiteBear on August 27, 2014, 20:05
thats the tiki torch placed underneath the trash, which are also used at the camp sites (sf island, Sandus)
I did start this script, and we did test it with joshy, the branch should be somewhere at the depot, if scripters wants to continue it just look for it, it had some stuff remaining to do, like spawning fires script, which was the one which stopped me from completing it.
+1000 however I think this should be freely available to anyone and not have a racing competition
As i suggested it few months ago, it could be part of so called mini missions to which we could also add ambulance missions, pizza boy, utility van missions, etc.
I agree for this infinity times. Since the San Andreas Fire Department is in need of members... this would be a great way to get them. I do agree with Benny, make it mini missions. We've got buses and limo missions, why not fire missions?
And we don't necessarily have to do just fire calls... What about car accidents in random areas? And people who are doing ambulance missions can also do a call with the fire department for medical support at a car wreck? Or fire department needed at a medical scene?
Coming from a firefighter, this is just suggestions on what could be done. I love the idea of it and I really hope it gets added.

This is by far the best idea I've seen on here! There will have to be other departments such as LS, SF and LV (maybe some smaller departments in Wet County) there are many different things you can do with the fire missions like Tanner said, car accidents, and random medical calls at random houses kinda like the box van missions Tanner and I can help come up with tons of ideas seeing how we both are firefighters and enjoy doing this stuff.
+1 Since its a great idea, but what would these missions count as, or a new achievement will be added ?
Don't fucking create another achievement. Why the fuck can't we get new missions without a damn achievement. why no just scores? Missions for fun exist too!
but +1
they would be called mini / side missions.. they wouldnt collectively or individually count as an achievement.. (if they were even to be considered.))(at least thats the way I think it should be)))

They'd fit better in mini-missions, because:
a) They don't feel like a "real" mission like Arctic and stuff
b) We don't need more achievements, seriously
I agree with you shake

disagree :dislike:
Okay then I'll make a suggestion for scripters to add bazillions of achievements for every little thing you do so you can make more easy 500k and to remove the fun of actual trucking and convoying with friends.
Don't expect me personally to add achievements. I've got better things to do with my time than make the server worse. Like looking at Emma Stone, or Reddit or some other shit.
17 achievements are enough for me.
Exact reason to make them side missions to do when you're bored
Quote from: Ethan on September 05, 2014, 00:33

this shouldn't be an achievement, but when you do 500 of these missions you should get a reward such as a free firetruck.
what do you not understand. I dont want them to be achievements, god damnit
Quote from: Ethan on September 05, 2014, 02:30

I agree just make them for fun I'm pretty sure only like 4 or 5 people will actually do this (I.e Tanner, Ethan and I) just make a small reward like $500 per call or something
Quote from: Ethan on September 05, 2014, 02:30

This might be destined for an achievement mate.
I dont understand why it matters if it has an achievement or not, so fucking what if people rush it for the 500k?
You do it at your pace, let everyone else farm/nolife for it.
I personally think it would like weird if a/2 missions were added, yet they didnt have achievements.
Guess what? Itll be suggested that it gets an achievement anyway, so why not start with one.
only nabs who keep bitchin around and can not complete 17/17 disagrees :dislike:
I want new achv! Yes for new missions
I like this idea, along with the paramedic vehicles involved too (or paramedic missions alone, w/e) but a couple questions.
#1 - If you didn't make it to the job on time or someone pushes the vehicle in the water will you lose money and count as an incomplete mission? I think it wouldn't make sense to lose money or receive a failed mission notice especially if it's just a side mission.
#2 - Would the random fire/emergency be very far from your location? I could see if you were in LS and there was a fire in LS and not in Milestone cause that's a long way to drive for $500 (if $500 was the reward)
Also it should be a side mission and not an achievement, there's plenty of achievements already like people have said. House fires also sound like a great idea, at least some tit can't push the vehicle that's burning into the water cause I'm sure some people would attempt it. Perhaps if you can make the vehicle unmovable so people can't push it in.
One more thing, maybe you can incorporate it into a command. For example: Player A driving a truck crashes and starts on fire, they have 15 seconds or so to call /911 and if there's someone available they can come to the rescue by typing some kind of response command. Just a thought though probably not really necessary lol
Are the spawning cars only going to spawn on parking spots? Or also on roads? if on roads, then no, don't let it random spawn.
Quote from: Twido on September 06, 2014, 20:37

Cars on fire would likely spawn nearby on the side of the road (like tow except not easily farmable :P)
Houses would be one of several in a radius of X.
There's 17 achievements. People these days online only care about making money the fastest and who has the most achievements. I dont want to waste my time scripting something i don't and wont enjoy (achievement side). Call me selfish but its my own free time, i choose to spend it how i want.
Dobby your negative replies take me to paradise

Tanner and I were talking about this not to long ago, there should be different departments i.e LS, SF and LV and milestone, wet county ect for the fact that won't happen in real life there would be different stations in different areas.

there wouldnt be different "departments" but you would just start in a specific area.
Just read up on this now. This would be an AWESOME addition to CVT! Also coming from a Firefighter, i'd love to see this put into place if possible.
interesting bump. But I can see it now, me making slammed 379 peterbilt firetruck mods.
Is a good idea .. It will make the experience on sv more interesting :like: :))
:like: Good Idea
But no more ach pls
Hey!
I like the suggestion and my details are:
1. Any fire departments in their radius have estinguish owned houses. In details its look like fireman get call every 30 seconds or minute call to respond burning house, when if he reach near to house area when he/she see fires on houses (fire objects with timer) and start estinguish this. Its takes maybe 2-3 minutes. If firemans are more than 1 when estinguish will come too quicker.
2. Vehicles on fires, I think there we can use tow truck system vehicles. Like we can make collaboration between fireman and mechanic. If mechanic have broken vehicle to towing, if vehicle is on fire when he/she calls fireman to estinguish this and pay him money for that and continue his/her work.
3. I support previous ideas and suggestions for this thread
I hope my post is not too long or stringy.
Regards,
Crockett!

He can go nuts. All i was pointing out was the fact if he did script it, its highly unlikely it'd be added. There was a Pawn related question in the dev team application form. It gave people the false hope of becoming scripter for some reason (judging by their answers to it).

Dobby, thanks for correcting me.
Okay, my point was incorrect and answer, sorry for that. I didnt mean when I was writing thread to come make "warm mouth" or showoff (I am not arrogant man or kick asser). I re edited my thread. I try proove myself to you about pawn scripting and I still learning advanced scripting. Thanks for criticism to Dobby and Ethan. Dobby has right in last thread, I was wrong to come make showoff here. My apologizes.

Crockett!
I'm totally up for this.And if its allowed to say it here,I would also love to see paramedic missions.If not,just count my :like: for this suggestion :) also if its not possible to make cars catch fire,just put fire on random buildings,houses,etc.
awesome, +1 for firetruck missions putting out house/car fires, so far 52 out of 55 players want this added :D
Make it one more
