# Assign Sirens

### SIREN\_ASSIGNEMENTS Table

{% code title="SIRENS.lua" %}

```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 },
}
```

{% endcode %}

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

<details>

<summary>vehicles.meta example:</summary>

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

</details>

* 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.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**The default or fallback key `['DEFAULT']` should always be present and never removed. Doing so will result in issues.**
{% endhint %}

### **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.
