Firefighter AI Previews (WIP Not included in this update)

Progress with AI is well underway, in this gif you can see the Engine Rapid Deploy using the AI. The officer goes straight to the nearest burning fire. The Chauffeur (Driver) grabs the supply line and attaches it to the nearest hydrant. The Control man grabs the hydrant tool from the compartment and turns on the hydrant then goes to the hose bed. The Driver then goes to the pump panel and waits. The nozzle man goes to the hose bed and grabs a length of hose and then calculates the nearest burning fire and gets into position and stops within a safe distance from the fire. The backup man follows the nozzle man the entire time to back him up. Once the nozzle man is in position, the control man disconnects the hose from the hose bed and attaches it to the truck. Then the driver turns on the pump. The nozzle man crouches and begins to spray the fire. All of this is done with the click of one button. My goal with the AI is to automate as much of the process as possible but still leave room for the player to assume any role they want to.

In this gif, I demonstrate the AI following the officer as well as how easy it is to switch between the roles of a company and return them back to AI.

In this gif, I demonstrate the lay in AI function which has the control man exit the rig, grab the relay line and hydrant tool, attach it to the nearest hydrant and charge the hydrant while the rig can position in front of the fire building if a hydrant is not in an optimal spot.
