ER:LC guide

What is an ER:LC CAD, and how do you set one up?

A CAD is the computer aided dispatch system a roleplay community uses to run calls, units and records. Here is what one does in Emergency Response: Liberty County and how to get one running in your Discord server.

01

What is a CAD in ER:LC?

CAD stands for computer aided dispatch. Real emergency services use one to log calls, track which units are free and look up records. An ER:LC CAD does the same for a roleplay community: members sign on as a police officer, firefighter, DOT worker or dispatcher, calls appear on a board, and everyone can see where units are on a live map of Liberty County.

It is what turns a session from people driving around into a service with calls, assignments, records and consequences.

02

What does a good ER:LC CAD include?

  • Terminals for every role: civilian, law enforcement, fire and EMS, DOT, dispatch and staff, each showing only what that role should see.
  • A live map of every player, with street names and postals, and 911 calls plotted where they were dialled.
  • Records: characters, vehicles and plates, licences, warrants, citations and BOLOs.
  • A real connection to the game through PRC’s official ER:LC API, so it reads who is in game and where, instead of relying on people typing it in.
  • Permissions per Discord role, and an audit log of who looked up what.
03

How do you set up a CAD for your ER:LC server?

With Sample Bot the CAD is part of Sample Plus+ and setup is four steps on one page, config.samplebot.app, each of which checks itself:

  1. Add Sample Bot to your Discord server.
  2. Paste your ER:LC server key, which you find in your private server settings.
  3. Allow the bot to act on your server, and paste the event webhook address into ER:LC.
  4. Switch the CAD on.

Then choose which Discord roles may sign on to each department. Our team will also set it up with you if you buy Plus once.

04

Do players need to install anything?

No. The CAD runs in the browser at cad.samplebot.app and members sign in with Discord. Players who want to talk to dispatch by voice can add the desktop app, which is optional.

05

Is an ER:LC CAD free?

The Sample Bot itself is free in every server. The CAD and live map are part of Sample Plus+: $50 USD once per server, $9.99 USD a month, or 8,000 Robux.
