Frameworks are the ones each script is commonly run on; check the script's own page for what it supports.

How Overshift picks one

On start, Overshift looks for the scripts above in that order and uses the first one that's running. /overshift doctor prints which one it picked. To choose yourself, set Config.Dispatch.resource in config.lua, for example 'qs-dispatch'.

If a dispatch update changes its API and a call is rejected, the call still reaches officers as an on-screen notice, and the server console says so. A dispatch update never silently swallows calls.

Any other script

If you run a custom or less common dispatch, point Overshift at it with a small function in the config:

Config.Dispatch = {
    resource = 'auto',
    custom = function(alert)
        -- alert.title, alert.code, alert.priority (0 critical .. 3 low), alert.message,
        -- alert.street, alert.coords, alert.service, alert.jobs, alert.targets
        exports['my-dispatch']:NewCall(alert.title, alert.message, alert.coords, alert.jobs)
    end,
}

EMS, fire and tow

On Patrol and up, Overshift also sends medical, fire and tow calls, each with its own quiet timer and only while someone from that service is on duty. They go through the same dispatch script, routed to the jobs in Config.Services. See the docs.
