How to get started with FLASHING LIGHTS (Abandoned)

This is a guide that will tell you the basics of flashing lights.

Controls (WIP

The control system for flashing lights can be somewhat confusing. This section should provide some information regarding these controls.
Firstly, if anything isn't mentioned here, look in the game's controls. The UI is a bit messy but you should be able to find what you're looking for.

Commands that you should know

Note:
This guide is currently a work in progress, being updated to the 2021 November Update. I will be taking over the guide and answering any questions in the comments. If there's something I haven't mentioned yet or isn't clear, please let me know so I can fix it.

Useful Codes To Use In Game

These commands can be used in the textbox,to use the textbox press T in game.

/v-reset = Reset vehicle in front of character

/tp-hq = Teleport character to start point (works only when on foot)

The two above can also be used by pressing escape and selecting help commands

/cam1 & /cam0= This is the free fly camera command. /cam1 turn on & /cam0 turn off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiplayer Commands:

Only Host can use these commands

/kick_id= You kick a player thats on your server

/ban_id= You ban a player thats on your server
Press tab to see their id
Any player can mute another player's voice chat by pressing escape then multiplayer commands then choosing the player to mute.

Weapons, Traffic and Towing (Overview of ♥♥)

weapons:

There's currently 4 weapons in the game; the stun gun, the handgun, the shotgun and the patrol rifle. You can get the shotgun and rifle from the trunk of any police vehicle you pick.

The trunk of the car

You can also get traffic items from the trunk, mentioned in the traffic section below, as well as a fire extinguisher with about 20 water in it. There is also a spare tire which has not been implemented yet.

The shotgun

The gun

the taser

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Traffic

You can stop vehicles in the game and give the person who is driving (ai) a ticket for speeding or something else. You also have spike strips 18 traffic cones,speed gun and a traffic vest. There is one mission where you are supposed to stop a red vehicle so the spike strips come in handy in that mission.
You can also make a checkpoint. Check out this guide here, it's a bit outdated though:

The Tow Truck

The tow truck is used to move and impound vehicles. You can do this on both parked cars and abandoned traffic vehicles.

Fire Department

The Fire Department's Vehicle collection currently consists of a 3000L Pumper/Tanker Engine and a 1000L Ladder Truck with an extendable ladder with a water gun equipped at the top, as well as the 4 vehicles used by all Departments. The equipment loadout for FD is as follows:

• Fire:
  Fire Extinguisher: contains 100L of fuel in the FD version, other departments are also equipped with Fire extinguishers, each with about 45L, just enough for a single fire.
  Fire Hose; connects to hose ports on trucks and uses the truck's water supply.
  NB, Fire Hose is not available in the smaller cars since they do not have a water tank.
  Fire Supply Hose: Used with the supply port on a fire truck which is always on the left side of the truck and is used to connect the truck to fire hydrants which can be found throughout the city areas and at gas stations.
  SCBA gear: can be equipped in the trunk menu, provides immunity to smoke inhalation, especially useful in structure fires with an interior
  NB, you are unable to use most seats in the game while wearing the SCBA, notable exceptions are the back 2 seats of the ladder truck and possibly the back seats of the cars.
  Fan: can be placed in an interior to vent out smoke, allowing other departments to safely access the scene. Currently not always functional, will update with more information when I learn more about it.
  (random trivia: during the update to the new map, the fan's name in the menu was replaced with the "apply neck collar" name, was quickly found and patched by the developers)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Rescue:
  Spreaders: used during a vehicle collision call to allow EMS to access trapped victims.
  Medic Bag: used during a call involving an injured person, allows for basic aid.
  Ladder: Simple, place able ladder that can be used to access elevated areas, unlike the truck-mounted ladder, this ladder can be used while holding an item such as a hose, making it a valuable tool for Engines.
  Axe/Chainsaw: used during a call where debris must be cut into smaller pieces to be moved.
  Scene Lights: used on servers during night to allow better view of the scene.
  
• Additional:
  20x Traffic Cones
  20x Road Flares
  Spare Tire (not implemented)

EMS

The EMS section of this guide

This part of the guide will tell you the basics of being a paramedic.
So there is this mission called vehicle incident, so now i will tell you what to do when this mission pops up. So if you want to accept the mission then press Y if you don't then press N.

So if you accept then you need to start driving to the green dot on the map.


When you arrive you need to take your medical bag and use it on the person who is laying on the ground.

Select 'Inspect Patient', from there, your camera will zoom in on the patient and 6 yellow circles will appear, hover your mouse over each until they all turn green. From there, blue text will appear at the bottom of your screen.


If the guy is still not alive then you need to grab your defibrillator. And use it on the patient, first you need to place EGC leads. From there, follow the text that shows up at the bottom of your screen.

Grab the stretcher when the patient is alive, put him on the stretcher and bring him to the hospital.



Grab the stretcher from your vehicle and move the patient to the picture of the stretcher in the hospital.

Then you are done with the mission. Also, if you are using a First Responder Car then you need to get a (ai) transport for the patient. Currently, I personally don't see any usage for the First Responder, since calling AI transport in multiplayer is very risky, it can sometimes break the lobby, and it's always better to just transport patients yourself, it frees up other ambulances to respond to others if needed.

@Blade01 you can't :(

[Blade01]

thank you, but how do i remove the pushbar on my police cars?

[Swissski]

Thank a lot !

@curso7620 Sorry for the very late response. I've stopped playing the game but should be able to continue answering people's questions regarding the game. If you are playing on pc, you need to aim with r click before you use an item with left click. Some exceptions to this would be the medic bags. Any other basic controls should be able to be found by looking through the controls menu, although it is a bit messy. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them here.

Hello, could you help me with the game, I'm new and I really don't know how to shoot in the game, I don't know which key to press, the same thing happens to me when it happens to the fireman, I don't know the basic commands, thanks.

i've stopped working on this guide. EpicLion110 will be taking over this guide from now on.

300+ hours of flashing lights experience here, people reporting strange things such as patient not transportable, unable to pull over and interact with cars and other issues, these are bugs. The game is still in early access and is a bit unstable, these bugs have happened to me a lot and are very common. For the not transportable patient, best option is to use /m-cancel in chat to clear the call and move on. If that doesn't work and the call is stuck (wait about 30 seconds if it doesn't clear by then its stuck) then leave the lobby you're on and rejoin. For unable to pull over and interact with cars, if they're stuck in place and still making engine noises, just get someone to switch to a tow truck in the select vehicle menu and tow them to the impound around the back of PD, tow controls are by default arrow keys to move the tow bar and j to attach to a car.

If anyone want's to take over my guide and finish the work. Then add me and send me a message on steam.
