What is the CADLY dispatch and CAD system?

CADLY Dispatch is a browser-based computer-aided dispatch system for roleplay communities. Dispatchers can organize calls and units, monitor activity, and coordinate units from a shared real-time interface linked to the ER:LC in-game server via the ER:LC API.

Does CADLY have a staff panel?

Yes. CADLY provides a comprehensive staff panel that allows server moderators and admins to manage and monitor member activities, view moderation logs, and control various aspects of the community including staff management.

Can CADLY help moderate an ER:LC community?

Yes. CADLY provides searchable moderation records, infractions, promotions, custom logs, staff activity tracking, shifts, and permission controls so high-ranking server staff can manage staff and operations in one place.

How can I choose between dispatch and moderation features?

CADLY offers two types of servers at setup: Host servers and Department servers. Host servers (e.g., Los Angeles Roleplay) are for main community servers looking for staff management and moderation tools. Department servers (e.g., Los Angeles Police Department) are for connected departments that want to use dispatch and CAD features while sharing the same API data from the host server.

Does CADLY link to the ER:LC API?

Yes. CADLY connects to the ER:LC API to provide live server data, including online players, active calls, and unit status. This allows CADLY to provide real-time dispatch and CAD features for connected servers or give staff up-to-date information on players.

What CADLY features use the ER:LC API?

CADLY uses the ER:LC API to provide staff with live tracking of online players, including their locations, wanted levels, plate numbers, and much more. The API is also used to track online units, play zones, reminders, custom team restrictions, and more.

Can I make custom automations with CADLY?

Yes. CADLY's Action Engine allows staff to create custom automations using easy-to-understand blocks instead of writing code, making it simple to create custom automations to fit your server's needs. In fact, the CADLY Action Engine is the oldest active automation system for ER:LC communities, and it's completely free.

How do I make an Action Engine automation?

All automations need to start with a trigger Event block. These can be in-game events (a player joining) or Discord events. They also need an Action block to perform an action (send a message, create a log, etc.). You can also add Conditions to check for specific criteria before performing an action. Miscellaneous blocks can be used to add additional functionality. The Action Engine is visual and easy to use, and you can find guides in the CADLY documentation.

How do I get my department server token?

To get your department server token, you need to contact your host server owner (this could also be you). On the Host server, go to 'Departments' in settings and generate a department invite token. Insert this token into the department server under general settings to connect the department server to the host server. This allows the department server to use dispatch and CAD features while sharing the same API data from the host server. The host server must approve the linkage after the token is inserted.

Can I manage my staff's permissions in CADLY?

Yes. CADLY provides a comprehensive permission management system that allows admins to define and control user access levels and privileges across different features and functionalities. You can lock dangerous functions like session management to high-ranking staff or allow lower ranks to manage infractions and logs. CADLY's permission system is flexible and can be tailored to fit your community's needs. It is important to take the time to set this up properly to ensure your server is secure.

Does CADLY have promotions and infractions?

Yes. CADLY includes promotions and infractions as part of its vast staff management suite, allowing admins to track and manage punishments and staff rewards easily from the CADLY panel.

Does CADLY have shifts?

Does CADLY have leave of absence (LOA) management?

Yes. CADLY includes leave of absence (LOA) management features that allow admins to track and manage staff leave requests and approvals.

Does CADLY have verification features?

Can I start sessions with CADLY?

Can CADLY replace Ducky for my server?

Ducky's shutdown was hard for many communities. Communities transitioning from Ducky should look to CADLY for great uptime and both Discord and panel management for their servers. CADLY can serve as a great alternative to Ducky for ER:LC communities.

Is CADLY a Trident alternative?

Is CADLY a Discord bot or web panel?

CADLY is designed to be flexible and accessible, allowing you to manage your community in the way that works best for you.

Does CADLY offer in-game commands?

This makes CADLY a great option for mobile ER:LC players. In-game commands use ER:LC webhook integration and require the server to be connected to CADLY with the webhook enabled.

Why was CADLY created?

CraftEnte and Ksamrock founded CADLY as server owners to provide a free, comprehensive solution for ER:LC communities looking for a reliable, free alternative to existing server management tools. They wanted to offer all the features of paid solutions without the cost, ensuring that every community, no matter its size or resources, can benefit from advanced server management capabilities.
