Alt siren toggle

Topic: Make the alt siren be a toggle, not a hold
.
Short explanation^

DeTailed description: When you use the alternate siren, it becones frustrating to hold it. It's not really needed, but would improve the quality of the server. Especially on the ambulance.

I think this may be confusing for people as the alt is used as the horn, I suggest using the c button as it is also used for the alternative siren. But the idea is good! +support

VCMOD somewhat works like this, it allows you to switch between different siren types depending on the situation. I feel the current siren seems to be universal to everyone and shows that it is an emergency; however holding down the alternative siren allows you to give out a different message somewhat like a 'horn' or an 'alert signal'. I don't think it's much of a problem, but a toggle could be added. It would take some time for people to get used to but I think that a lot more people would use and realise that the alternative siren was there if this was implemented.

However, it's not really needed and personally I like the current sirens; they're simple.

Honestly, I find it pretty easy to use the alternate siren while driving, even at high speeds. Perhaps adding an option to make it toggle/hold or change the key would be a good idea, though.

Gonna be neutral on this.

The whole reason of the alt siren not being a toggle is so it is used as Ayjay said as a 'horn' type thing.

In real life the idea of it is when a police officer approaches an 'intersection' he/she actives a temporary more alerting siren so people at the 'intersection' are more alert of their presence... As some people my tone out the other siren and ignore it...

+Support. I Rather use the second siren but holding it down is stressful i a car chase eg. in the city.
