Feature

In the current version of photon you can only have a primary siren in the photon code. But in game you can have two? This doesnt make sense. This needs to be added. Maybe have a Siren = 1 and a Siren2 = 4

Use Case

It would imrpove the siren feature. This would also make it to where you can add two sirens in the photon code

Expected Behaviour

Sound

Actual Behaviour

No sound

Hi, I am just wondering if someone could please add in the D&R rds 17 siren?
It has what you call an Intersection clear tone ( Inter-Clear) along with the standard tones.
Inter-clear is a combination of Yelp, Stinger (Priority on most sirens) and a hyper stinger, that no other siren has.
It uses the same exact sound files as the D&R Intimidator, accept without the HI-Low and is replaced with the Inter-clear tone before Wail.
The Inter-Clear tone can be heard from 0:13-0:24 on the video below.

I have also included a link to the product itself with a picture: http://www.dandrelectronics.com/emergency/product/rds17s.html
Hope to hear your thoughts on the siren and I hope you consider adding it.

Thanks for reading!

I was using photon for awhile then all of a sudden my screen to help me see when I can change my lightbar to a different code, when I can change my siren to a different sound, I been trying to look how I can get it back but there is nothing on it so I hope you know what I am talking about and I hope you can help me.

Feature

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Alternatives

Other ideas that would work in place.

Context

Problem 1

Hud disappears as soon as you press T, B or X.

Problem 2

If you leave a vehicle when the lights are active the current pattern freezes / current section stays on.

Problem 3

If you reproduce "Problem 2" and despawn the vehicle, the props of the vehicle won't despawn.

Details

I also think that the hud is more bold in the beta.

Expected Behaviour

To be able to see configs and make new configs.

Actual Behaviour

Cannot see any configs nor make new ones or see the pre-made ones (I tested on Explorer and Charger)

Error Messages (if any)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Spawn a police vehicle
2. Check for configs in C menu

Feature

Have a feature to where you can access the emergency lighting outside your vehicle.

Use Case

If you had this you can get out of your vehicle and get close to the lightbar or other component you are trying to build.

Alternatives

Not sure.

Context

None

Feature

Ability to hide the bottom-right Photon panel.

Use Case

Hide the panel when making videos to improve video's looks.
Hide panel when using siren panel components/props to use instead of panel.

Feature

Add regular lighting states to auto-components.

Use Case

Adding running lights / secondary break lights to rear bars (as seen on some tow trucks and fire engines).

Expected Behavior

When breaking in a vehicle they should appear almost instantly

Actual Behavior

Brake PI lighting takes a good 3-5 seconds to appear, same for reverse lights.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download a vehicle with PI lighting, press spacebar a few times

I think it'd be much better to allow players or code to set presets while outside of a vehicle. I am trying to make a menu that allows players to do it in a non sandbox gamemode and it is rather restricting to force them to be in a vehicle.
I could also be doing something terribly wrong, I am not sure.

Photon messes up the DarkRP name over head feature. Removing it fixes it.

Does this module have computer configuration requirements?
When I entered the map, the vehicle that used this module for the first time did not have a jam. When I placed the second police car, it became very stuck and unbearable.

Feature

Like, we have the button to move the siren forward; having an option to go backwards.

Use Case

Saying if you switch to a Phaser and want to go back to a Yelp (the one before), you'd have to manually go back to the Wail (or hit 1), and then switch to the Yelp. - I know 1,2,3,4 are bound to the siren change; however, if you have VCmod installed, it isn't possible to do it that way, because you end up changing seats.
Example Met Siren

Alternatives

I'm not sure you could make an Alternative tbh

Context

N/A

Expected Behaviour

To be able to see lighting on other peoples car.

Actual Behaviour

Cant see lighting on others car (It isnt just that it isnt lighting up, it is that I cant even see the lights on the car

Expected Behaviour

Components with COMPONENT.Positions set at something other than (0,0,0) should be able to be rotated via EMV.Auto without issue.

Actual Behaviour

If a component has a Position set as something else ,ie: (0,-90,0), it will rotate at odd angles. In the case of (0,-90,0) it will bug out when X is changed: Ang = Angle( X, 0, 0 )

Error Messages (if any)
