Two things

[Synapt]

First, how the hell do you pick back up a hose after dropping it? lol

I tried every key I could think of and every relevant looking key from the keybinds.

Second, does this game have no functional concept of transitional attacking? Is it just a literal spray-straight-on-the-hot-stuff kind of thing?

Hi, not sure if you have found the answer to your questions but in case not:

1. I use either LMB or the E key to pick up hose. The important thing is you have to be looking at where you ve dropped the nozzle.

2. I m not a fire fighter but if you mean cooling or extinguishing fires through the windows then at the moment in my experience it does not work. I can extinguish the fire burning at the window but I ve tried spraying a hose from ladders and hand held into a building and it has no effect on the fire inside.

For your second point, if you mean spraying left to right or visa versa, it does work but very, very slowly. I believe each fire "spawner" will grow back to standard size if not being extinguished.

Many firefighting games work this way, mainly due to how fire spawners work in many engines

Yeah finally kinda figured it out. I'm a right-side keyboard player so I modify a lot of keybinds, seems like there are some hard-coded though. Guess I'll have to use autohotkey.

Transitional attacks are primarily where you hit the ceiling/top of a room from an outside point and basically create a deluge sprinkler like effect. Guess I was a bit hopeful a mechanic like that would work but yeah mostly curious as it was the first thing I tried when playing, guess this is a lot like firefighter simulator then where you basically have to directly spray the 'spawn' of the fire. Slightly disappointed lol.
