New calling 911 feature

[RocketInAPocket]

Issue:

So we all come across that struggle where it's a certain time of day and there is zero medics on duty to help as you are bleeding out from clapping yourself. You call 911 and request for a medic... but as you sit there bleeding out no one is responding to help. You wait the time to re dial to ask for both but as soon as you do bam lights out and you're dead as soon as a PD unit responds. 

Resolve:

It would be helpful and realistic to have dispatch inform you when there is no medics on duty to come help you and re direct you to have an officer come help. It would go like this.

"Sorry unfortunately there is no medics on duty to respond to your call but we can redirect you to the police to help."

Then  it would give a yes or no and depending on the answer will either hang up or send the call to PD and you type out the help you need like a normal call.

I feel like this will be more realistic of dispatch instead of not saying anything and you sitting there bleeding out not knowing if any medics are around. Within the time of knowing there is no medics you can call a friend for help or agree to have the police come aid you. 

Thank you for your time.

We can see both calls.  But it’s an ic issue if people don’t respond to them.

Not necessarily. There could be OOC issues on why people aren't responding to calls, and they should be addressed. 

You can see both calls whenever someone calls for "both", otherwise you have to go into the MDC and look up different, individual calls. If there'd be a redirect system, where a call would be redirected to another department for... whatever reason, it would be more realistic and convenient. But then... you'd expect MD to be around.

I don't even think Dispatch would need to respond to you. There is already a function in the script that detects if no MD is on fduty: /stabilize.

This check can be applied to 911 calls and just automatically re-route them to Police should there be no MD on shift.

Calls to Medics, when no medics on duty should automatically trigger a 'both' call. With a dispatch message stating to police that "the call was redirected due to limited resources".

This. Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of available resources without having to sort through units, although it can be an issue in itself, where units still show because someone crashed out and didn't return.

 

If it would help, having a splash screen for the MDC, showing the amount of currently online medics would potentially be helpful in a quick, at a glance way, although I'm not sure if that would be too MG or not.

I think the idea of it going to both if there are zero medics on shift is a great idea. Currently as PD/SD the only way to see those are if you are near an MDC and to the master call list. 

Alternatively you could possibly just add a master list command of calls? like /allcalls or something, not sure of the semantics, but this way PD/SD could see all calls rather than just Police calls.

+1, I believe this issue is mostly with ''morning'' players, when MD is not around and there are 2-3 PD units including myself on duty, I think this would help community out as now we cannot see calls all the time (I think so, because I can't see MD calls to be fair).
