Doesn't seem to be working? I added this mod to a fresh save. No lights despite batteries still holding charge. Using only vanilla vehicles.

I don't think it's working with Small Town First Responder or Kentucky Emergency Services mods.

This doesn't work for mod vehicles? i see it working for original Emergency vehicles but not modded in ones.

is still still working for the latest update? 71.71 MP?

It actually does appear to working again at least as of build 41.71. In single player, the sirens lights were still on even after re-entering the save or area. Don't think that was the case even in 41.60+

@ATPHHe any updates on the bug (and fix) for this mod since 41.66?

It works as intended, but you'll get flashing lights on the m998 mod, the military humvee's youll get red and blue flashing lights on those and you cant turn them off because they dont have light control options

Does this work with a current save?

The lights seem to work fine now on 41.65 in MP.

Please update
Blue 20 Dec, 2021 @ 6:54am 
Build 41 released, let us know if mod will be updated ^^

@Blue
Ah I forgot to change the title, it's broken for IWBUMS 41.39+ since the vehicles are being updated. After Build 41 fully releases, I'm going to see if it's possible to update this mod.
Blue 18 Dec, 2021 @ 5:01am 
Is it up-to-date? I play on IWBUMS 41.56 and I don't see any changes while finding plenty of police cars and ambulances...
LQ 17 Dec, 2021 @ 2:15am 
good i'll spot anything at a distance at no time.

Nice! Thank u! :D

@Mr. Moon [J521]
Sorry for very late reply, but when Build 41 fully releases, I will update this mod for that build.
Mr. Moon [J521] 29 Apr, 2021 @ 4:22pm 
Will there be any updates again? this mod looks very cool :c

The mod needs an update, police car headlights are on but their lights aren't
SteeleWulf 30 Jul, 2020 @ 12:52am 
Ah ok, cool that you figured it out. Hopefully the devs sort it out quickly.
ATPHHe  [author] 29 Jul, 2020 @ 10:13am 
@Grey It seems to be a hard-coded bug in Build 41 IWBUMS.
I'll report this bug to the PZ bug forums.

With the mod disabled, or enabled. I turned on the light bars on some police cars. When I reloaded the save, the lights stopped flashing. If you have a siren on, it also disables sirens when reloading a save.

Walking far away, then coming back to the vehicle also disables the siren and light bars.

This only happens in Build 41 IWBUMS and not Build 40.43 when I tested on both.
SteeleWulf 28 Jul, 2020 @ 9:08pm 
@ATPHHe ah ok, thanks for looking into it.
ATPHHe  [author] 28 Jul, 2020 @ 7:47pm 
Looks like Build 41's latest update broke the mod. The vehicles might of been changed or something. I'll probably have to look through Build 41's code and see what they changed about the light bars.
SteeleWulf 28 Jul, 2020 @ 7:41pm 
i will check but i believe i have set it to the earliest start date cause i have found police cars with headlights on but no flashing light bars.
ATPHHe  [author] 28 Jul, 2020 @ 7:31pm 
@Grey, Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look and find a fix for Build 41 IWBUMS.
pgames-food 27 Jul, 2020 @ 10:45pm 
hi it could be the timing duration...
i think if you start with settings so that the game starts near the earliest date, there is more chance of the car batteries lasting longer and flashing lights
SteeleWulf 27 Jul, 2020 @ 7:38pm 
This doesnt appear to be working for me. ive found emergency vehicles and not one has had running lights. i am using the iwbums build
ATPHHe  [author] 20 Apr, 2020 @ 9:52am 
@Brodator
Found the issue. Solved and answered in the Bug Reports thread. Thanks for letting me know.
BroDimm 18 Apr, 2020 @ 11:26pm 
@ATPHHe
I will put in bug reports thread instead
ATPHHe  [author] 18 Apr, 2020 @ 11:29am 
That car must have the lightbar for some reason.

Do you have a custom car mod you are using? I'll take a look into this and find the civilian car causing it. But if you know the car, or car mod, I can attempt to exclude that specific vehicle from having it's lights or invisible lights flashing.
BroDimm 18 Apr, 2020 @ 10:04am 
i have civilian car with flashes on the roof
VelxraTV 14 Feb, 2020 @ 5:27pm 
I like the addition of the option menu changes. ^_^
ATPHHe  [author] 10 Feb, 2020 @ 8:12am 
No problem. ^^
pgames-food 10 Feb, 2020 @ 8:04am 
ah ok, thanks for the info :)

ATPHHe  [author] 9 Feb, 2020 @ 10:15am 
Nope, from my playthroughs, the zombies ignore the lights and just walk away or around the vehicles. If they have good eyesight and see you near the lights, they will give chase.
pgames-food 9 Feb, 2020 @ 6:37am 
hi, can i check if the lights attract zombies?
ATPHHe  [author] 6 Feb, 2020 @ 8:21am 
Thank you. Have a nice week. ^^
VelxraTV 6 Feb, 2020 @ 1:17am 
mod has been working great and adds to the game world. good job! =)
ATPHHe  [author] 20 Jan, 2020 @ 8:00pm 
@Burleon, Yup it works. Just to make sure though, I downloaded and tested Filbuster's mod. This script ran fine with their police cars. This mod affects all cars with lightbars that are spawned in whether it is by random events or when spawned in parking lots.
Burleon 18 Jan, 2020 @ 12:31pm 
Does this work for Filbuster's Used Cars police cars? also does it work with the random events or just parked cop cars?
ATPHHe  [author] 16 Jan, 2020 @ 11:21pm 
@Dragoon_103 Ah forgot to mention, they do turn off once battery life is over.
ATPHHe  [author] 16 Jan, 2020 @ 11:17pm 
@Dragoon_103 From what I've seen, they drain battery life slowly. I'm working on some options to only apply to vehicles that actually responded to emergencies (burn't houses, police blockades, ambulance calls, etc.)

@Geronimo Thanks for the feedback! I think this would be a great option to add to this mod.
VelxraTV 16 Jan, 2020 @ 10:27pm 
I like this idea. though I think this best fits for an early outbreak play through. otherwise six months later or so does not make sense. so a great mod for early days and then the user has to disable it.
Dragoon_103 16 Jan, 2020 @ 7:27pm 
do they drain and turn off when they run out of battery? Not sure if the lightbar is a normal feature of the base game as i have not had a chance to drive a police car.
