I followed the tutorial, but it's still not working. Lets go over this again. In my map I have 3 script_model planes with target names of stuka 1, stuka 2, stuka 3, and they are all connected to their own script origin. I have a separate .gsc file called planes with the same script from the tutorial. In mymapname.gsc file I call upon the planes.gsc script. As for the csv file a made another one for the planes and copied the script but the sound doesn't work either. I didn't know what to name the second csv file. Do i really need to have 2 separate csv file? Why won't this work for me? The planes still appear when the map starts.

ok let me revise my last post. i got it to work, sort of. the planes no longer appear when the map loads, but when they do appear only stuka1 flies. when it reaches its destinations the other 2 planes disappear. i want all 3 planes to fly together. and there is no sound fx. So i need to fix these 2 problems. please help me out thx.

The script looks ok to me, double check your keys and values in the models.

Also try this version of the script, I modified it slightly so it passes the origins to the flyby function directly.

main()
{

level thread planes();
}

planes()
{
level.PlaneSpeed = 15;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");
stuka2 = getent ("stuka2","targetname");
stuka3 = getent ("stuka3","targetname");

temp1 = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname");
//stuka1.dest = temp.origin;
org1 = temp1.origin;
//stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;
start1 = stuka1.origin;
stuka1 hide();

temp2 = getent (stuka2.target,"targetname");
//stuka2.dest = temp.origin;
org2 = temp2.origin;
//stuka2.start = stuka2.origin;
start2 = stuka2.origin;
stuka2 hide();

temp3 = getent (stuka3.target,"targetname");
//stuka3.dest = temp.origin;
org3 = temp3.origin;
//stuka3.start = stuka3.origin;
start3 = stuka3.origin;
stuka3 hide();

wait 2;

while (1)
{
  stuka1 thread plane_flyby(org1,start1,"stuka_flyby");
  wait .15;
  stuka2 thread plane_flyby(org2,start2,"stuka_flyby");
  wait .15;
  stuka3 thread plane_flyby(org3,start3,"stuka_flyby");
  wait 120;
  }
}


plane_flyby(dest,start,sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it
if (isdefined (sound))
self playsound (sound);

wait 1;

self show();

self moveto(dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);

wait level.PlaneSpeed;

self hide();
self.origin = start;
}

what about the sound? I made a separate csv file like the tutorial said, but I dont know what to name it. Do I have to have 2 csv files? Can't I combine them? If so, how?

your .csv file needs to be named EXACTLY like your map.. so yes, you'll even HAVE to combine the two .csv files, because you can only have one .csv file with that exact name.

How? Just put everything in one .csv file..

So i put everything in one .csv file, but I get an error when I try and start cod2. Something about min_volume or whatever. This is what my script now looks like. Check it over please.

The commas are "delimeters" between each parameter.
No wonder you dont hear anything, you have a min value greater than 1 and no max value in the volume parameters.

If you dont understand the exact parameters, I suggets you use the settings of a stock sound and just change the filename, leave the standard parameters alone.

well i just used what the tutorial said to do. can you just tell me how I can edit my script to make it work please.

Ok here is a new soundalias file for your map.

Code modified to play loopsounds:

main()

level.PlaneSpeed = 15;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");
stuka2 = getent ("stuka2","targetname");

//stuka1.dest = temp.origin;

//stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;
start1 = stuka1.origin;
stuka1 hide();

//stuka2.dest = temp.origin;

//stuka2.start = stuka2.origin;

//stuka3.dest = temp.origin;

//stuka3.start = stuka3.origin;
start3 = stuka3.origin;
stuka3 hide();

wait 2;

  stuka3 thread plane_flyby(org3,start3,"stuka_flyby");
  wait 120;
  }
}


plane_flyby(dest,start,sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it

self playloopsound(sound);

wait 1;

self show();

self moveto(dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);

wait level.PlaneSpeed;

self stoploopsound(sound);

self hide();
self.origin = start;
}

ok so after using ur scripts i am now getting sounds. there is still a problem though. only stuka1 flies. stuka2 and stuka3 do not move and when stuka1 reaches it's destination stuka2 and stuka3 disappear and the process repeats.
