Assign Sirens

How to assign sirens to vehicles using SIREN_ASSIGNMENTS table in SIRENS.lua,

SIREN_ASSIGNEMENTS Table

SIRENS.lua

SIREN_ASSIGNMENTS = {
--['<gameName>'] = { <airhorn tone>, <siren tone-1>, <siren tone-2>, ... <siren tone-n> },
['DEFAULT'] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }, 
['FIRETRUK'] = { 12, 13, 14, 11 }, 
['AMBULAN'] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 }, 
['LGUARD'] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 },
}

In this table you can add additional vehicles for assignment using the vehicles <gameName> exactly as found in vehicles.meta. It is case sensitive.

vehicles.meta example:

...
<modelName>so2</modelName> <!-- SPAWN NAME -->
<handlingId>so2</handlingId>
<gameName>so2</gameName> <!-- GAME NAME (WHAT LVC USES) -->
<vehicleMakeName />
<expressionDictName>null</expressionDictName>
...

• Both R* and LVC:v3 truncate down to 11 characters. It is important that the first 11 characters are unique.

  • Example: If my addon vehicles <gameName> is "2008 Ford CVPI CHP" and I have another vehicle "2008 Ford CVPI LSPD" both of these after truncate equate to "2008 Ford C" therefor LVC:v3 will not be able to differentiate these.

The default or fallback key ['DEFAULT'] should always be present and never removed. Doing so will result in issues.

Wildcards

Supported Wildcards:

• # represents 1 or more digits.

How it works:

1. LVC:v3 checks for vehicle profile matching game name. e.g. ['2008fpiu1']

2. If not found, attempts wildcard search, meaning wildcards will be used secondary to custom profiles. e.g. ['2008fpiu#']

3. If not found, attempts a less specific wildcard search, leading and trailing numbers. e.g. ['#fpiu#'] (v3.2.7)

4. If not found, use default profile. e.g. ['DEFAULT']

Example: * ['veh#'] = { ... } will be used for vehicles with game names veh1, veh2, ..., veh9999, etc. where exact profile not found.
