# Emergency Response Simulator (ERS)

## What is Emergency Response Simulator?

Emergency Response Simulator is a paid, third-party script for FiveM.

This advanced (co-op) PVE roleplay game mode simulates emergency service calls, where you as emergency service worker have to respond to. Whether you are a medic, firefighter, tow service operator or police officer, there is always something to do. With finetuned callouts you’ll never get bored of driving around in your service vehicle. Rush to high-priority, dangerous calls, or handle routine tasks like warning a speeder. Each callout is unique, with random outcomes that keep you curious and engaged every time you respond to an emergency.

[ERS can be purchased from Nights Software.](https://store.nights-software.com/category/ersgamemode)

## Activation Guide

### 1. Download and Install the Resource

{% hint style="info" %}
This submodule is already **enabled by default** when installing the [Sonoran CAD FiveM resource](/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/fivem-installation.md).
{% endhint %}

### 2. Adjust the Configuration

The CAD display settings are stored inside of the `/configuration/ersintegration_config.lua` file.

### 3. Ensure Players are Linked

Ensure the players have already [linked their CAD](/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/link-user-in-game.md) for this integration to work.

### 3. Update CAD Record Templates

The ERS submodule comes with three record templates (character, license and vehicle registration).

Importing and using these record templates will ensure ERS callout character, license, and vehicle registration records are automatically generated.

These records can be located in the `/sonorancad/submodules/ersintegration/SonoranCAD Records` directory.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `Civilian` and `Vehicle Registration` are default records. If you've modified them, it's recommended to replace them with the provided versions to ensure proper data import.
{% endhint %}

To import in Sonoran CAD, navigate to `Admin -> Customization -> Custom Records -> Import`.\
Open each JSON file and copy/paste the contents into the CAD.

## Configuration

ERS Integration is highly configurable to allow for custom records and calls. All default configuration will work with the provided CAD records seamlessly. It is only recommended to edit if you are experienced with [custom records](/cad/tutorials/customization/creating-custom-record-and-report-types.md).

## Features

### Live Map Callout Generation

Dispatchers can use the live map to create a new ERS callout at a specific location.

Drag-and-drop the `ERS` icon from the toolbar to a location on the map. Clicking the new ERS map icon will allow you customize the callout and settings.

<figure><img src="/files/ggwYi3pxJjnQ45jfaVOe" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Sonoran CAD: ERS Callout Creation</p></figcaption></figure>

### Record Lookups

When a callout is first interacted with, character, license, and vehicle records will be generated in the CAD with the information.

This allows lookups in the CAD to be ran.

### Automatic Call Generation

* When a callout is generated in-game, a 911 call will be automatically created in the CAD.
  * 911 calls generated from a callout will display with location on the live map.
* When a callout is accepted by a unit:
  * A dispatch call is automatically generated.
  * The unit is automatically attached to the CAD dispatch call.

## Limitations

### Database Sync

When a community uses database sync, all record lookups run against that community’s external database. The ERS integration automatically creates characters and vehicles in the CAD database through the API, so these records must be included alongside the external database results.

To enable this, turn on [**Include CAD API records in DB Sync lookups**](/cad/integration-plugins/database-sync-and-merge/database-sync-credentials.md#combine-api-and-db-sync-records).
