Move people during a session

People can be moved around the map by the session manager or an assigned player (People Controller).

To activate this functionality the manager or player needs to have the "PersonMoveControl" panel visible in their user interface.

This functionality is demonstrated in the demo configuration, \Demo\RescuePersons\P1C1-F2R1T1

In this demo session the manager and the player PC (People Controller) can move people.

It is located in: C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Client\SessionDef\Demo\RescuePersons\P1C1-F2R1T1

Configuration

To activate the functionality the manager or player needs to have the "PersonMoveControl" panel visible in their user interface. This is done by setting the Visible attribute to true, and setting the position of the panel in the user interface configuration.

Map information

When the People control panel is visible all locations with people are indicated by a blue border. When the manager or player presses the "View People" button, the map shows the number of people at each position.

People who have died in the fire

If people die in the fire, they can no longer be seen by Units and can no longer be rescued. These people can be seen, however, by a manager or player who controls people movement.

When viewing the number of people at each location, the number of people who have died at a location is shown in red. These people cannot then be moved by the manager or player.
