Hi , I,m tring to add thunder sound to my map "im new at this and not too sure" Ive found a tut on adding sounds to cod and hope cod2 is the same, can someone have a look at what i have as im getting a "bad syntax" error in console
I,ve made a script_model with targetname "thunder3" in map
thanxs

//thunder3.gsc
main()
{
thread alert_sound();

}

alert_sound()
}
alerts = getentarray ("thunder3", "targetname");
while (1)
{

{
for (i=1;i alerts[0] playsound("thunder");

alerts[0] playsound("thunder");


wait (17);

self thread alert_sound();

return;
}
}
}


and in map.cgs have:
maps\mp\thunder3::main();

dont worry guys ive sorted it and have it working now

What was your answer? I'm getting ready to add some thunder to my map, and yes I'm new at this.

This is what i ended up using:


//Thunder_Test.gsc
main()

{
start_thunder();

}

start_thunder()
{

alerts = getentarray ("thunder3", "targetname");
while (1)
{

{
for (i = 1; i < alerts.size; i++)
alerts [0] playsound("thunder");

alerts [0] playsound("thunder");

wait (17);

self thread start_thunder();

return;
}
}
}

Also add to soundaliases: "this has my map name change to suit"

#Ambient_bg

thunder 4 amb_elements/elm_thunder_y04.wav 0.85 0.99 0.8 1.1 100000 streamed mp_mohdm1

and thread in map.gsc

maps\mp\thunder_test::main();

i also added rain and lighting which can be found here with a search hope this helps

How many entities do you have?

If more than one the way that script is written it will only play on the first entity in the array.

Here is a little script I just whipped up for a bit more randomness and is server friendly.

//
// Grassy's Thunder
// Accepts single or multiple origins
//

main()
{
	start_thunder();
}

start_thunder()
{
	ents = getentarray ("thunder", "targetname");
	if(isDefined(ents))
	{	
		if(ents.size > 1)
		{
			for (i = 1; i < ents.size; i++)
				ents[i] thread PlayItAgainSam();
		}
		else
			ents thread PlayItAgainSam();
	}
	else
		return;
}

PlayItAgainSam()
{
	while(1)
	{
		self playsound("thunder");
		delay = randomint(10)+15;
		wait delay;
	}
}

Enjoy!

Arghhh sorry folks, forum is playing up again.
Here it is again without the garbage, unfortunatly it has lost the indents. And a small fix, for loop starts at 0, not 1 :)

Oh my, I must have been tired when I wrote that
I just noticed a few errors above

Here it is again, I tested it in UO and works ok.
Sorry if I caused any confusion.


//

start_thunder()
{
ents = getentarray ("thunder", "targetname");
if(isDefined(ents))
{
if(ents.size > 1)
{
for (a=0 ; a < ents.size; a++)
ents[a] thread PlayItAgainSam();
}
else
ents[0] thread PlayItAgainSam();
}
else
return;
}

PlayItAgainSam()
{
while(1)
{
self playsound("thunder");
delay = randomint(10)+15;
wait delay;
}
}

I got a "entity is origion only" error - Do we need an origin and a trigger? The tutorial made is sound as though you gave the trigger the origin texture and that that was enough.
