AvailableUnits - Developed by Officer777 

--

Tired of spamming code 3 backup when a fellow Officer is calling shots fired? Are you sick of being the only
Officer that responds to a silent alarm? Hate being an Officer's only panic buddy?  Be sick and tired no more! Well, in a bit.

This plugin is being created to give more realism to most of all of the callouts of LSPDFR. When installed, this will make sure you 
do not show up on scene alone to those crazy shots fired calls or domestic situations. Backup units will respond to calls just like you are, and will respond either code 2 or code 3 depending on the call. Once you arrive on scene however, you may use your PoliceSmartRadio to step down units to a code 2 response. Also, if you respond to a call and another unit is en route and the situation escalates on scene, it is up to you to step up your units using the radio. You will be able to customize the amount of units that respond with you to a certain call, as well as the type of units. You may customize it by location or have it be default for LSPDFR.

 

I look forward to continuing work on this plugin and I hope that many of you will find it useful for your patrols!

 

More details and features will be announced in the future.

Yes! I love this idea and have always wanted something like this since the days of LCPDFR. I appreciate it's in the name 'First Response' but I always find it so unrealistic when you're the only unit responding to a shots fired call for example, and then you have to spam backup once the pursuit starts. So for example in different callouts, a broken down vehicle call = 1 unit responding (you) and Shots fired call = 5 units including you. I look forward to hearing updates!

With AvailableUnits, you will be able to customize the amount of units to respond to each call, as well as the distance. You may set these options to random between a certain set of numbers. This means that with an 'Officer Pressed Panic Button' call, you may set the number responding units between 2 to 5, and have it pick a random number. This means that not every time you get a call the same number of units will respond, to add realism. You may also hard-set the distance of your backup units, or you may also set them random between two variables. One unit may be just 20 seconds down the road while your other two units are about a minute and a half. 

 

If you "Step Up" your units from Code 2 to Code 3, your units will go lights and sirens to the location, obviously decreasing their response time. 

 

"Step Down" units will also be available when you have arrived either by yourself or sufficient backup and a code 3 response is not necessary. 

 

If you believe you have too many units on scene, you may cancel any more incoming units or dismiss any unit that is on scene. 

 

Units will stick around until they are dismissed or if you have left the scene for a certain period of time. 

 

LSPDFR feels lonely a ton, and this is meant to combat that problem. 

 

When on scene with your units, you may have them all "secure" the scene and stand around guarding nearby areas, or you may select certain units to follow you around until you dismiss each one or everyone at the same time.

It is a very simple ambitious idea but most of the code for it lies in mods that have already been created and in the already existing back up modifications. It just needs tethering together to put simply. This will require some collaboration with other developers, and patience as this is my first project. 

 

Thank you for your support! If you have any questions regarding features or suggestions, ask!
