Fire Fighting Mod

[Reactor Worker]

I believe this may have been suggested for 0002 but I want to put it out there for Retail.

How about a firefighting mod?

Not too extreme mod-wise, heres the features I would like...

Handheld water cannon (Simple really, a gun model which I can make, that shoots a blue water-like emiiter that is effected by gravity and behaves like water.)

Fire/flames (This is the tricky bit. Basically the bricks should use the flame emitter. A wand like tool can/could be used by admin to start a fire by hitting a brick. Fire should spread to adjacent bricks over time. Firefighting tools should put fire out. Fire should also cause damage to players within a radius so its dangerous to run straight into a burning building. Bricks left on fire too long should destruct and automatically destroy and supported bricks above it (like destructo wand) so that way structures can be collapsed. Bricks should also turn black with time.)

Optional...

Firetruck
Fireplane (which can dump a set amount of water and refill on water contact)
Clothing to offer protection bonuses. Like a firefighting suit.

I know its a tall order but this would make a great minigame. Perhaps score for players/teams could be determined by number of fires put out or bricks saved. Points would be detracted for bricks damaged or destroyed.

If anyone wants to give this a try, I will make models for it. Just need a programmer.

We still don't know how to make clothing/accessories.

ok, well forget the clothing. It was optional anyway.

Anyone want to do the other bit though?

I think I played this on a server as a makeshift minigame. Nothing advanced, just that the admin would load the fire, we grab our wrenches and put it out. I was pretty fun, and I would love to have this as a mod!

Thats cool but I was hoping for a mod that was less minigame-hack and more interactive-minigame-of-supreme-fun. Wrenches just don't cut it for me. :(

Exactly. What I meant to say was that I wanted your idea as a mod. Not the makeshift one. I really need to make sure I'm making my point clear :(

Clothing can be very simple.

A set of hide/unhidenodes works mostly for setting appearance, when used with an override to GameConnection::ApplyBody[Parts/Colors].

Custom items can be made in the same way as RTB - mount a "weapon" which can't fire to a certain slot. That's how I made the "Briefcase" I have in my server.

I like this idea, I would make but i dunno how to check for an emitter. I tried dumping a brick but didnt really see anything to do with checking for emitters.

holy ice cream this is an awesome idea. i will look into this.

Packer has a firetruck model from RTB. It looks fairly blocky. A little work and we could use that.

[Reactor Worker]

Yeah, I know about the firetruck however my main concern is for the fire-fighting system itself. Clothes and vehicles can come later.

Well...when you open up the GUI with the wrench it displays what emitters are currently being displayed in the pulldown menu. Perhaps the appropriate code can be found within the GUI for the wrench?

Good to know your interested. Your tetris mod is great. :)

Noted. :)

[MrPickle]

When you press done with the wrench it makes the brick check for the stuff with 1 command, and the brick has a thing .setEmitter(); but when i tried messing with that nothing happened.

[Reactor Worker]

hmm, ok. Hopefully someone will figure this out and then we can all play a reallly awesome mod.

Firetruck was fun on my RTB server, but then Retail came and I cannot host.
This idea is cool, but I want to fire to BURN not just look like fire.

The firetruck should have a hose on it. Not just for the fire fighter mod... I just want to ride around drowning people with a hose on my firetruck!
