on, when you use the "foliage" brush around a bush it makes that neat bush sound

how can i make a trigger brush play another sound when a player walks into a certain area ?

thanks

also how about random ambiant sounds playing.

there is such a nifty search feature on this forum, you're even reminded of it when you make a new topic... but still...
annyway, five topics down from yours: http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-74615.html

i use search all the time, did not see anything

also this is about my 3-4 post on this with no results, had this in the scripting section for 1-2 weeks with no results

i agree, search before posting!

LOL, there is something even niftier, called "read"

i can see you need to read about the post you were directing me too, i was very active in that posting with no results

not the same

I am familliar with the "full map" ambiant sounds,

I am asking for help with local sounds and random map sounds,

there are lots of neat sounds in the "iw" files that i am wanting to use,

i got a dog house that when you get close too, i want to hear local only barking sounds, not over the whole map, just certain areas, i know in cod2 there were plenty of scripting like that.

i am wanting to use the "trigger" brush to play a sound, i can make it "hurt" a player when the player walks into the brush for fire burning.

now i want sound.

thanks !

well, in cod2 i made a small test map w/sound triggers and part of my gsc looked like this;

thread act1();
thread act2();

act1()
{
trig1 = getent("tanktrig1","targetname");
tank = getent("tank", "targetname");
trig1 waittill ("trigger");
tank playsound ("Sound1");
}

act2()
{
trig2 = getent("tanktrig2","targetname");
tank = getent("tank", "targetname");
trig2 waittill ("trigger");
tank playsound ("Sound2");
}

in your map you make a trigger and of course give it the right key/value. if you want a looping sound make sure it is just that and a trigger multiple if you want the dog to bark everytime you touch it. also you identifie the sound exactly as stated in your csv.
hope that helps

what would the right key value be ?

i have never messed with this kind of stuff before

piere rambo made a map, shoot the bell and it would "ding"

walk in an area a dog would bark,

make a make a brush and texture trigger
make another brush and texture it origin, this is where the sound will come from
select both > right click them > trigger >
multiple = walk in to trigger
damage = shoot to trigger
use = use button to trigger
use_touch = must be touching trigger and use button pressed to trigger

give it a 'targetname' of 'dog'

in you maps gsc:

main()
{
*map stuff here*

dogtrigs = getentarray("dog","targetname");
for(i=0;i<dogtrigs.size;i++)
dogtrigs[i] thread dogtrigger();
}

dogtrigger()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill("trigger");
self playsound("dogs");
wait 10;
}
}

it does not matter what you call your trigger so long as the game can see that you have announced the trigger. here i have shown

trig1 = getent("tanktrig1","targetname");

i made a brush, covered it in trigger multiple texture and gave it a key of "targetname" and a value of "tanktrig1" (leave out the quotation marks when you type that stuff in). as far as finding sounds you are going to have to search your iwd files for soundalias files to find your barking dog. also to make the bell ring he probably used a damage texture/brush around his bell. if you could look at the gsc and csv files for his map it would become more clear to you.

nevermind killer said it better

thanks, i found my sound, do i need to extract it from the iwd or can it stay in like the ambiant sounds,

and how would i direct the trigger name to play the certain file,

does it need to be wav/mp3 or a certain format ?

no, its doesnt need to be extracted
how do you mean
and how would i direct the trigger name to play the certain file,?

it can be wav or mp3
