i say the light key should be used for a spotlight mounted on the front passenger side
That's a good idea, though it will probably be on the driver's side.
I agree, But I want buttons in the car so that while your in first person you could use them with ease.
And if you're in a pursuit the passenger could press them for you. But the thing I'm worrying about with that is someone that's sitting In back could press the buttons from there. I really don't want the commands.
Unfortunately, the faster you're driving, the less accurate IVS is. I just tested it with Barnabas' vehicles; after a certain speed, nothing works. There will need to be some redundant commands. They will start with /CVPI so they can't be mistaken for anything else.
I may also include some way to set preferences, either temporary or by client, for how you control the lights and siren. For example, when you use the light key, does it activate the spotlight, turn on the lights, or turn on the lights and siren? Does clicking change the siren's pattern, or sound a horn? For clicking I would have to find some way to reconcile it with IVS; perhaps if the click doesn't activate something from IVS.
I might use keybinds. The way I set up my keyboard, the numpad is unused. I'm sure some people would enjoy using key presses to control the lights and siren.
And Teneski will we be able to choose from different types of siren sounds. And different types of lighting speeds/motions.
Yes. Wail, yelp, phaser, and some kind of cycle are planned. So far, I've programmed three patterns for the light bar in a way which is fairly flexible. There is still some work to do in making sure everything functions reliably before I add sirens and controls.
