This plugin works with all emergency vehicle slot vehicles, including the EMS and Fire.

v4.0.0 Showcase

https://youtu.be/imiZ0-J3UJw

Requirements

- RagePluginHook, LSPDFR 0.4.9 or newer, ELS-V.

- Every vehicle to be synced (yours included) needs a VCF in the active ELS pack.

- Both your vehicle and the units need a VCF in your active ELS pack.

Installation Instructions

DELETE ANY OLD VERSIONS OF THE PLUGIN OR DRAG AND DROP, AND OVERWRITE FILES.

1. Download the zip file

2. Extract the zip file.

3. Place 2 files in GTAV Root > plugins > LSPDFR

4. Launch your game. When you go on duty, the plugin will automatically load.

NOTE - EDIT THE ELSLightSync.ini file to your preferences.

NOTE - The additional folder with the ELS.ini file is to be dropped in the main GTAV directory. This is only cosmetic changes for the corona distance LOD's. It's not required at all and only optional.

^{You may not distribute, post, or attempt to edit this file in any way. Currently, I only have this plugin posted here. If you would like this posted elsewhere, please reach out to me.}

Future Updates

Plugin is not rated for non-ELS vehicles at this time.
Units follow you on stage 3 lighting only. Due to limitations within the LSPDFR eco-system, ELS always runs AI units on their stage-3 presets and does not allow that to be changed; when you switch to stage 1 or 2, units stay on stage 3 (still in step with each other) and re-sync to you when you return to stage 3.

Updated information based on updates on my plugin.

What's New in Version 4.0.0

Released October 14Oct 14

Units are kept in sync with your vehicle by restarting their ELS pattern. ELS keeps full control of rendering, so environment lighting and coronas are untouched.
Your vehicle's flash patterns are learned by watching the ELS extras, then remembered per vehicle model in plugins\LSPDFR\ELSSync\patterns.txt. A pattern is learned once (about three cycles of pattern) and recognized within a couple of seconds every time after that.
OutOfVeh pattern support: when you or a backup unit officer step out and ELS switches to the OutOfVeh pattern, the plugin notices the change and re-syncs.
Peer sync: units showing a pattern other than yours (for example: units still occupying a vehicle while yours unoccupied, or vice versa) are grouped by the pattern they show and are kept in sync with each other. They switch back to following you the moment their pattern is recognized as the same as yours.
Every light group (primary, secondary, warning) is tracked. The light bar is kept exact; the restart timing is chosen so the other groups can land as close as possible with respect to timing.
Responding units are synced while still driving to the scene (this is made available by using ApproachRadius), so they arrive already in sync.
Pursuit units are synced the second they join the pursuit, moving or not, and stay tracked even after the pursuit ends.
"Resync now" key (ResyncKey) and on/off toggle key (ToggleKey), both with an optional modifier. This can be changed within the settings.ini file.
Works with all ELS vehicle types (in these slots) that have a VCF: police, sheriff, fire, EMS.

Absolutely loving this! However I believe Automatic Siren Cutout needs updated, its beyond buggy at the moment and almost no NPC police vehicle sirens stop like they should anymore 😞

You are not wrong, but I have had little to no issues with it. 🙂 It's just something that works for me. Until I can find out how to reset light stages, this is a small workaround.

@ZADDYSteve

Nice work dude. There is a dude that attempted to do that sync too but unfortunately, it can only be done for FiveM with his syncing with the lightbar. I really hope that you will get it working for all of them to sync in and work as it should be.

Now with your vehicle versus NVP. it shouldn't matter what kind of lightbar any of the vehicle are using honestly, but the pattern has to be the same for it to sync and/or the script that you are doing may need to be set to player out of vehicle patter to match with NvP vehicle, then that may fix the problem. it all comes down to pattern and I do not think that it will work with hybrid model, unless you set it to be sync? idk ... but best of luck dude and i hope this work well once all the bugs are fixed.

Thank you so much. And yes, I remember seeing one but only for FiveM.

As far as the lightbars go, you are right. It doesn't matter. But because everyone who creates vehicles, can place extras in different areas, it just makes it more uniform and stands out a bit better, especially if you have multiple units at the scene. 🙂 I have gone through 2 days of troubleshooting to be able to sync the players lights with AI, but as I stated in my YT video, it's really difficult, as no matter how I write the code, the limitations of RPH itself is what is holding me back. I will keep working at it though and hopefully have another update soon. 🙂

I have not yet tested this plugin with DLS (non-ELS vehicles) to be honest. If you do, would you let me know how it goes?

非常感谢。是的，我记得见过一个，但只是针对FiveM的。

关于灯条，你说得对。这不重要。但因为每个制造车辆的人都可以把临时演员放在不同区域，这样整体更统一，也更突出，尤其是当现场有多个单位时。🙂我已经花了两天排查才能和AI同步玩家灯光，但正如我在YouTube视频里说的，真的很难，因为无论我怎么写代码，RPH本身的局限才是拖住我的障碍。不过我会继续努力，希望很快能有新进展。🙂

说实话，我还没用DLS（非ELS载具）测试过这个插件。如果有，能告诉我进展如何吗？

Yes, I used the Code3 's California pack for testing, and obviously it cannot be used for DLS vehicles, and the same goes for the Automatic Siren Cutout

Very interesting concept. I see someone took interest in Soundoff's new light syncing concept. Hopefully you get over those little hurdles and are able to make it more refined. Would love to use this constantly, especially for night patrols.

I actually have not yet tried it with this plugin. If you do, please let me know if it's successful or not.

It was kinda successful. Some of the AI didn't sync but that may be my fault for not having proper configs in that departments els vcf's. Also thank you for his plugin its long long long long long overdue.

Can this work with addon ELS vehicles or is this only for base-game emergency vehicle slots?

@ZADDYSteve It also lights up all nearby parked vehicles, and the synced pattern of non-ELS vehicles is pretty broken.

I’ve noticed this also when I turn my lights on stage 3 other cop cars that are in traffic automatically turn on there lights in sync with mine even if the other cop cars are far away

It can now. :) Just uploaded a new version to do just that. In the settings.ini file, use the ELS file name for add-on vehicles.

My apologies, there was a small issue with the code so it did not properly ignore other emergency vehicles. With this new update, this issue has been fixed. :D

Decided to give this plugin a try and it worked great my first try but after that, everything became really bugging and game started skipping regardless if lights were on or not. Love the idea but just didnt work for me

Really?? I haven't had any other reports yet and I have not come across this myself. Of course, I always test releases before posting them.

Could you send me an example of what's happening? If you cannot send here, you can send it to me via discord on my channel. Info is in the description. I would like to investigate further to fix the issue.

Hello author, this plugin can only synchronize code 3 state. Could you please create a version that synchronizes code 2 state and configures it for dls? Thank you.
