In my map I have fire. When someone is killed by it I want a custom sound to play throughout the map. I have 5 custom sounds that I want to be played in .wav formats. Is there a way to set up a rotation with these sounds? How do I get the sound to play upon a players death by fire?

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

Give them all the same name, then give all 5 a different sequence number 1 through 5. That way coD should randomly pick one of the 5 files.

The death of a player is caused by a trigger_hurt so maybe try using that as the trigger in your script

Let me start out by saying thank you so much for all your help so far. It's really great that you and others here at modsonline.com give so much help to everyone. I have some questions though b/c if you remember I suck at scripting and I am sry about that.

1) Of my 5 sound files 3 of them are .wav files and 2 are .mp3 files. Does it matter?

2) The sound files are called scream1, scream2, etc until scream5. This is what my .csv file currentyy looks like:

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

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

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

ambient_mp_skyscraper,,ambient/amb_russia03_ext.mp3,0.5,,ambience,,,,,local,streamed,,looping,,mp_skyscraper,,,,,,ambience

#Level Specific,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

,stuka_flyby,,vehicles/stuka_by02.wav,1.25,,,,100000,,,,,,,,

,this is a stock sound in Cod2 try this one
stuka_flyby,,vehicles/mrk_airplane_drone3b_loop.wav,0.75,,na,0.4,0.7,50,5000,auto,,,looping,,mp_skyscraper

Specifically, how do I edit this script?

3) What directory do the 5 sound files get placed?

4) More specifically please, how do I use the trigger_hurt in my script?

1) It shouldn't.

2) Just add five lines to your .csv file, with the correct code for your scream1 through 5 files...

scream,1,misc/scream1.wav,0.75,,na,0.4,0.7,50,5000,auto,,,looping,,mp_skyscraper

for instance.

3) In this case the file scream1.wav should go in the sounds/maic folder.

4) Just like any other trigger.

maic folder?

misc...just like it said in the .csv file...

1) ok the 5 sound files are now in this directory:
mp_mymapname/sound/misc
is this right?

2) This is my csv file now. Is it 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

if it works it's right..


THe easiest way to see if something is right is not asking here.. it's trying it out yourself.

play the scream sound in your map.. if you can hear it.. it works.. if not.. something is wrong.

well i was just asking because I am not ready to test. as of now I am positive it wont work because I havent scripted the trigger_hurt. I have the trigger_hurt in my map, but I don't know how to script it so when it kills a player one of the 5 sounds will play throughout the map. Do I script it in the .gsc file, the fx_gsc file? What code do I use?

to test if it works, just add a script_model, give it a targetname and use it to play the sound.. no need to trigger it or anything.

It's just a test to see if that part works..

If you script everything at once, it's very hard to figure out what's wrong... make a small part, test it, if it works, continue.

The same goes for mapping.. you don't make your whole map at once and then test it.. because there would be too much to fix.. you add a small part, compile and test to see if it's ok.. then continue with another part of your map.
