Halloween Callout Pack

Overview

The Halloween Callout Pack adds five callouts to ERS. They are plugin files, one per callout, that you drag and drop into the callouts/plugins folder of your ERS resource.

Callout	Services	Dispatch text
Scary Crowd	Police	Emergency: respond to reports of a large group behaving erratically; ensure public safety.
Scary Person	Police	Emergency: respond to reports of a suspicious individual behaving erratically; ensure public safety.
Strange Ritual	Police, Fire	Eerie Ceremony: Respond to reports of a suspicious gathering performing an unknown ritual; investigate the scene.
Suspect(s) in Halloween Costume	Police	Suspicious Costume: Investigate reports of an individual in an unusual Halloween costume behaving oddly in the area.
Trick-or-Treat Terror	Police	Trick-or-Treat Terror: Respond to reports of a trick-or-treater setting fire to a house; ensure public safety.

The dispatch text shown is the first of each callout’s descriptions. Every callout has eight or ten.

Requirements

• Emergency Response Simulator (night_ers).

Installation

1. Open the callouts/plugins folder of your ERS resource: night_ers/callouts/plugins/.
2. Drag and drop the files from the pack’s plugins folder into it. The pack has five files.
3. Restart the script and spawn a callout to test it.

Configuration

Each callout is one file in night_ers/callouts/plugins/, and each file starts with its settings. These are the lines from the Scary Crowd callout:

Enabled = true,
CalloutName = "Scary Crowd",
PedChanceToFleeFromPlayer = 0,      -- Value between 0 and 100 -> Lower is less chance.
PedChanceToAttackPlayer = 10,       -- Value between 0 and 100 -> Lower is less chance.
PedChanceToSurrender = 0,           -- Value between 0 and 100 -> Lower is less chance.
PedChanceToObtainWeapons = 15,      -- Value between 0 and 100 -> Lower is less chance.
PedActionMinimumTimeoutInMs = 10000,    -- Milliseconds for the minimum timeout time to start the secondary action listed above.
PedActionMaximumTimeoutInMs = 20000, -- Milliseconds for the maximum timeout time to start the secondary action. Must be a higher number than the minimum!
PedActionOnNoActionFound = "none",  -- When no action of the above options is found. It'll perform this action after the set timeout. Options: "none", "attack", "flee", "surrender"
PedWeaponData = { -- The ped will be given one randomly selected weapon (in hand) from these weapons if PedChanceToObtainWeapons passed.
    "weapon_stone_hatchet",
},
