Hi everybody,

i have followed the tutorial of the MP Elevator, and working fine. But there is no music playing. I have in the main map a map with sound/misc/elevator_med.wav.

But when i go up, i don't hear anything.

the soundaliases file

===========================
name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel
,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle

null,,null.wav,,,,,,,,,,,,,

# Personal Sounddefinitions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
elevator1,,misc/elevator_med.wav,,,,,,,auto,,,,,,
===========================

The GSC file

===========================
main() {
level.elevatorDown = true; // elevator starts at bottom: true/false
level.elevatorMoving = false; // elevator is not currently moving
thread elevator_start();
}

elevator_start() {
elevator = getentarray ("elevatorswitch","targetname");
if ( isdefined(elevator) )
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++)
elevator thread elevator_think();
}

elevator_think() {
while (1) {
self waittill ("trigger");
if (!level.elevatorMoving)
thread elevator_move();
}
}

elevator_move() {
elevatormodel = getent ("elevatormodel", "targetname");
level.elevatorMoving = true;
speed = 2;
height = 192;
wait (1);
if (level.elevatorDown) { // moves to top
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height, speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else { // moves to bottom
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height - (height * 2), speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}
============================

Try playing the sound "beep" instead of elevator1.... just to see if the error is in your script, or your .csv/.wav file.

so replace elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1");

with

elevatormodel playsound ("beep");

I have changed it, but i heard no sound.

Type this in your csv:

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage

elevator1,,misc/elevator_med.wav,1,,,,,,,local,,,,,mp_yourmapname

Is the elevator_med.wav a stock sound and in the misc folder? If not, make a folder sound in this folder an folder misc and in this folder must be the wav file. Remember a costum wave must be a mono sound, not a stereo sound.

There is only one problem with "local". If someone drive with the elevator you can hear the sound on the whole map

If you already have ambient entries in your CSV, would this be right?

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage

#Ambiance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

ambient_mp_msp4,,ambient/amb_russia01b.mp3,0.63,,,,,,,local,streamed,,looping,,mp_msp4,,,,,,,,
elevator_msp4,,misc/elevator_msp4.mp3,1,,,,,,,auto,,,,,mp_msp4

ps my map is mp_msp4 and my elevator is elevator_msp4... Could it be that I'm trying to use an mp3 or is my script wrong? I'm trying to use auto instead of local so it won't play over the whole map...
