TTS Lights + Sirens

Description
Overview:
This script allows mission makers and Zeuses to add more sophisticated light/siren systems to vehicles. When the lights are turned on, dynamic lights are created to simulate the flash from the lights which looks significantly better at night. During the day, 'sphere' objects are created along with the lights so that the lights are easily visible since light sources do not show up well in bright lighting. When the siren is turned on, the siren sound effect will play on loop until it is turned off. The light pattern and siren tone can be changed through the action menu (ACE interaction if using ACE). Light colours and siren tones can be customised for individual vehicles.

This is the mod version, a script version[github.com] is also available if you want to reduce dependencies or hide it from your players in your mission file.

If you'd like to test the script for yourself, you can try out the demo mission.

Features:
  • Lights/sirens can be added to any vehicle
  • Customisable light colour/siren sound
  • Light pattern and siren type can be changed through the action menu
  • Lights/siren can be turned on via script/Zeus to support non-player vehicles
  • Designed for multiplayer and tested on dedicated server
  • Compatible with ACE
  • Useable from Zeus via Zeus Enhanced
  • Editor modules to simplify usage (Mod version only!)

ZEN Modules:
  • Add Lights/Siren
  • Change Lights/Siren
  • Remove Lights/Siren

Editor Modules:
  • Add Lights/Siren
  • Set Light/Siren State

The script and how to use it is described in more detail on the GitHub page.

The available light colours are:
  • Red
  • Blue
  • Amber/Orange
  • Yellow
  • Green
  • White
  • Magenta/Purple

Based on common light colours for emergency/utility vehicles according to Wikipedia[en.wikipedia.org].

The available light patterns are 'Alternating', 'DoubleFlash' and 'RapidAlt'.
The available siren types are 'Wail', 'Yelp', 'Phaser' and 'TwoTone'.



Notes:
The lights may detach slightly from the light bar when moving due to the update rate of the light points. I don't think there is anything I can do about this.

THANKS YOU FOR THIS. I hated having to do so much just to get lights on

@Americanpolicecar I haven't changed anything so it should be working, if you have any mods loaded make sure you try without mods first
You can also go into the editor and add the modules/run the scripts yourself to try it out

@Loz There are modules in the Eden Editor that should be under a TTS Lights and Sirens category that you can use
Alternatively you can use the script commands from the GitHub wiki on the script version link (script commands can still be used the same way with mod version)

@Catalin I just tested it now and it still works fine, make sure you also have the Zeus Enhanced mod installed if you want to use the Zeus modules.

@Catalin It's not terminated, and re comment below I meant adding new features/content, I will still fix the mods if there are issues.

@Code-095 | Rigby I don't plan on updating these mods anymore so probably not, you can edit the sound files/scripts in the GitHub version to add this sound for yourself if you wanted though
