Like the two comments above

Permalink Submitted by Candunc on May 20, 2012

Like the two comments above me XD

Does this mean when fire happens, the alarm agents take over the dispatch tool, so it automatically puts out fires? (Without player interaction?)

Isn't that a rather odd way

Permalink Submitted by Nabble on May 30, 2012

Isn't that a rather odd way to simulate fire? I mean, wouldn't a sim living in one of those houses call the fire department rather than get in a car and drive around trying to find a fire department?

He does say in the earlier

Permalink Submitted by superscotty243 on Jun 02, 2012

He does say in the earlier videos the agents aren't sims. The agents are like signals that would activate the nearest fire station to put out the fires and that the agents are invisible to the player but are visible atm to show what they do. The agents are exactly the same as the agents that deliver water and find people for jobs.

It depents what the "agent"

Permalink Submitted by UGOTTASOUPGOIN on Jun 05, 2012

It depents what the "agent" is for. An agent will transport goods so sometimes that would be a truck on a road, an agent can also go to work which would be a sim in a car. An agent can also transport water which would be a pipeline. Its just their way of getting away from generalizing the actions by way of stats, now agents control actions and what you see happen on an individual need basis, which makes it more accurate and realistic.
