Building custom ambulance parking spot?

[Lowlander]

Currently I can only place it near the main entrance where the default parking lots are, but I have a trauma centre at the side of the hospital, with a road leading to it. How can I make a parking lot for the ambulance there?

Unfortunately, it's only possible by making changes in scenario xml file, and requires editing lots of lines. We need to wait for devs to enable modding, and giving us a tool to create our own maps.
If you want to, you can edit scenario of your choice, located in "Scenarios" folder of the game, for example "sandbox_empty_C_96x96.xml", and change all occurences of FoundationsType="3" for FoundationsType="0". This will unlock all map tiles to build on, including those big roads. You can also do it for xml file in your savegame file for existing game.

Big roads? I can build road tiles, and tiles with lining, etc.?

I mean, after unlocking, you can put foundations everywhere, even on those roads at the right and bottom. But of course you can't really use ambulances then, as they will drive right through your hospital:P

But could I build upper floors over the road and get a covered ambulance spot then ?

Hi, this feature is already planned and will come in future updates.

[Norljus]

I just notice that this discussion is about the parking. I was thinking about the place where ambulances deliver the emergencies. Can this be moved ?

[helios]

Yes, you can do it in scenario xml file. Look for OBJECT_MARKER_AMBULANCE_PARKING_TOP - this one is for upper left corner of your parking spot and then OBJECT_MARKER_AMBULANCE_PARKING_BOTTOM - lower right corner. Few linnes under each one are coordinates - <m_position> and even few more lines lower another ones <m_gridPosition>. You need to change both of them to the same value. Count new position (tiles) from bottom right. X values from right to left, Y from bottom up.

Edit: There is also OBJECT_MARKER_AMBULANCE_UNLOADING to select place ambulance stop to unload patient, and OBJECT_MARKER_AMBULANCE_PARKING, this one says in which place ambulance turns to drive into parking.

is not fix yet?

Hi, the possibility to relocate the parking lot is already included in the game. Cause the working parking lot is essential for the game to work properly it cannot be completely removed. But if you build the second parking lot elsewhere you should be able to completely remove the first one. Ambulance dropzone is movable too now.

Is it possible to put the ambulance unloading area onto the other road? It seems like I can only move it along the original road.

[TheRectinator]

Answered my own question. In ObjectPrefabs.xml under <GameDBPrefabObject ID="PREFAB_OBJECT_AMBULANCE_UNLOADING">:

<NoRotation>true</NoRotation> changed this value to false and deleted these 2:

<ForcedX>7</ForcedX>
<MinYFromTopEdge>20</MinYFromTopEdge>

Now I can rotate the ambulance unloading area and place it anywhere on hospital property. Haven't found out if the ambulance will still function properly yet but its a start.

Is it possible to build a custom ambulance loading zone without having to use the prefab?

[MWRGaming]

Ambulances are only placeable in the predefined area if you want to move it yes the prefabs are the only way same applies to the unloading zone ambulances won’t stop elsewhere on the road

[Gamebroker]

Thank you
It would have been nice to make one's own ambulance unloading zone and parking area without having to use the prefabs.
