Hello all,

We're excited to announce that AI Update Part 1: AI Partners is OUT NOW on the default branch, meaning it's available for everyone! A huge thanks to all of you who helped test this update when it was on the unstable branch <3

Get out there and save the city - now with AI partners! At the police station, fire station or hospital, select your AI partner by interacting with the relevant marker and head out!

AI Update Part 1 - AI Partners

Police Partners

The police partners will be able to frisk and arrest suspects, shoot back if being shot at, and chase down suspects. They can also ride in your vehicles and be told to wait at locations or in a vehicle.

Firefighter Partners

These partners can help put out fires using extinguishers, use hydraulic spreaders to rescue persons trapped in vehicles. They can also ride in your vehicles and be told to wait at locations or in a vehicle.



EMS Partners

EMS partners can prepare patients for transport for you by working through the treatment checklist, before you either transport the patient yourself or call for AI transport. You can also set your EMS partners to wait for your command before running to a patient, meaning you can command them to attend one patient while you take care of another.

Nils is now working on AI Update Part 2 - AI Backup! This update will allow you to call for backup when out on callouts, arriving and then leaving the scene when the situation is dealt with.

Watch out for news!

Thanks,
The Flashing Lights Team
