[Update 1.0 - 2015.03.13] Emergency Lights CLEO script by nyolc8

[nyolc8]

If you tell me how to indicate current mode for all three strobe lights in the status icon, then yes

Btw I think I'll make all lights to have this corona setting, and also making it to be able to set 1, 2, or 3 coronas. So main and advisor too. This would eleminate the need for two X coordinate in mainEL config. And also we can get nicer, more rectangle-lookalike lights by setting two smaller corona near to eachother.

[nyolc8]

finished multi-corona option for all lights, changed mainEL for this(removed pos2.X line, also removed shadow Y line - using corona Y coordinate for light shadow), all lights can have 1-3 coronas at all places.

advisor light with corona number option set to 2:

multi-corona setup:

Nice work!

[BeastyBill88]

Looks great! Are we able to do the 1-3 lights for the main EL? Or is it just for the strobes?

[nyolc8]

mainEL too (there was already 2 coronas on each side - pos1.X and pos2.X, I removed pos2.X and replaced that with this new function), so you can set it to 1, 2, or 3 corona for each side.

[BeastyBill88]

Was there? Lol I didn't actually notice that, I thought pos1 & pos2 where for the left and right coronas. Looking forward to seeing what Marccc and others can come up with in regards to lighting vehicles

[nyolc8]

pos1 and pos2 was the two coronas for one side only, the script mirrored those coordinates for the other side

[nyolc8]

concept for new onscreen status:


What do you think?

[Marccc]

Looks great!!!

I have no idea how to make mode changer key for all (main, strobe1,strobe2,strobe3,advisor)... Any idea?
I don't want to make another 4 new key... it would be too complicated.

I played in GTA 4 with ELS mod and there we had keys for on/off and keys for change mode. I have no idea what we can use else...

Wouldn't it be easier to have all the lights set up like the advisor?

1 key to turn it on/off and another one to change the pattern.

That way you are reducing the number of buttons to what 5 at least.

You would have it like this:

G - Turn on/off main EL's
U - Turn on/off strobes
I - Change number of active strobes (1-3)
K - Turn on/off Advisor
L - Change advisor pattern
O - Turn on/off spotlight

Just my idea for the button setup.

[nyolc8]

I'm thinking that maybe I'll make the L key a universal mode-changer key. So while you holding it down, you press the key for the light to change it's mode.

So for example if you press K while holding L down then you change advisor mode. If you press G while holding L down, then you change the mainEL light mode, etc....

@BeastyBill88: you missed the point. I want to be able to change all three strobe lights mode seperately. You just said a button to set what strobe light to be on which is already can turned on/off seperately.

***
some progress/change:
-bug-fixed: mainEL light now comes from the corona position instead from shadow position
-removed some recurring code (made them into scm_function)

also, I'm planning 5 modes for all lights (strobe1,2,3, and main light):
1: side-to-side blinking
2: both side (all light) blinking 2 times together
3: left two times blink, right two times blink
4: left 4-5 times blink, right 4-5 times blink
5: all lights on without blinking

I like the idea, how many coronas have the main light? Because i know some extra modes for it:
[X][X]   [X][X]
[X][X]   [X][X]
[X][X]  [X][X]

[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]
[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]
[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]


[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]
[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]
[X][X][X]   [X][X][X]



Maybe this last 2 modes with 3 coronas can also be used for the 3x strobe.
