Scanners and you!
« on: May 12, 2012, 01:56:43 PM »
Scanners are the CCA's best friend. They can be used in places that are inhospitable or inaccessable for units, like District Six.

Authorizations
Scanners require OfC+ authorization to conduct an aerial patrol of the plaza. From my experience, here are the authorization you need for the different districts:

D1 (Plaza): OfC+
D2 (CWU): OfC+
D6 (Webuland): CmD+ or GRID DvL

Controls
R: Flash
LMB: Beep 1
RMB: Beep 2
Alt: Follow*

*Also gives you the char's name. You have to /me flashing them then use alt to get their name and run it through /viewdata

Behavior
DO NOT run around lolflashing citizens
DO NOT run around lolbeeping
DO NOT flag on your scanner without proper authorization

Scanners always talk over the radio in all caps. Example:
Dispatch radios "<:: SCN 441 REPORTS: AUDIO VIOLATION: CHANG WU. LOCATION: UCH STEPS."

Scanners never confront citizens, they only report things. If you see a citizen doing a crime, report it on the radio.=

One more advanced thing you can do is 'relay' your CCA character's voice over your scanner. Example:
C45.CCA.GRID-04.123 radios "<:: 441, sir, is it possible for you to train me?"
Dispatch radios "<:: UNIT 441 RELAYS: Not at the moment, 123. I am 10-6."

As a citizen
Don't grab a floating hunk of metal, k?

That's about it for scanners. Hope this guide helped.

Scanners need GRID DvL/CmD+ authorization to commence aerial scan of webulland.

This should be on the VICE private forums.
C45.CCA.GRID-DvL.604 - Healthy - Executing citizens. Tally: 4
John Gatsby - Healthy - Celebrating, having detonated an explosive melon in front of two CA's

VICE Divisional Leadership and Commanders up are the only ones allowed to authorize stuff like that.
hello my name is Ryan Fournier. I am known on the internet as autism, and I like to pretend I am a little boy named Jamie Laou, a Justin Bieber look alike. I am not 18, so don't listen to me when I say I am. I'm roughly 13 years old.

The rebels will rob one and modify it, making an assasin tool.

This would be good. Give a CP something else to do besides patrol the streets. I really like some of the ideas and guides this forum has to offer.
