[ELS 8] Saving a Light Pattern for a Certain Vehicle?

[ThatOneHick 311]

Is there any way to save a certain light pattern that you like in your ELS folder or something like that. For example, I ELS mapped an Ambulance and to get the lighting pattern to what I want, I have to manually switch to the pattern I want using CTRL+M and switching. I know there is a way to do it. I'm just not sure how.

In the config file for the vehicle, change "ForcePatForLstg = off" to on. Then set each light stage (PatId_Lstg#) below it to the number of the pattern you want (only the number, not the letter).

So if this is the pattern that I want, how do I enter it in the config file?

Magic of post editing?

 

I updated it with your desired settings. Find those sections of the config file and replace them with my last post.

Sorry to reopen this topic but can you save a pattern for each police car and how do you do that?
