Can anyone help me with this please,

I want a sound to play when someone gets onto a rope, I have the sound but i am not sure if I have to use a trigger, if so which one? and do i have to add the sound into my soundalias folder and then normal route with the scripting, has anyone done anything like this?, it would only be like carentan when someone walks past the back grass and the cricket sound is played.

Thanx for any help.

i suggest you look in some tuts how to make sound in cod2
i think its the same in cod4

then u must do some scripting
if you want to play sound only when player is touching a rope, you must use trigger, and some IF/WHILE functions
and it should be short sound, so when player climb out it don't continue too long

alarm = getent("alarm", "targetname");   //our trigger (use trigger multiple i think for touching)
while(1)
  {
  alarm waittill ("trigger", other);   //other stores a player

  while(other isTouching(alarm))
    {
    other playsound("some_sound_declared_in_cvs");
    }
  }

every player climbing should make a sound

Thanx Ahoji, for the reply,

I still cannot get this to work even after following a COD2 tutorial, can anyone give me an idea as to what steps I need to do to create a triggered sound and where I need to put everything.

Please

"Can not get this to work"...

Do you get an error? Does your map run, but does the sound not play?

Please post your script(s) and the .csv file.

Thanx caretaker for replying,

I am at work at the min so dont have the scripts in front of me,

I do not get any errors in the fastfile, load the game as normal and I have added a trigger in the location where i want the sound to play, but when ime in game nothing happens.

I have created a soundalias,added all the commands into the csv, I have a script origin and trigger box in the area i want the sound to play from, added the co ordinates to my createfx.gsc and placed the sound file in the sound/misc folder.

is there something I have missed, I understand I cant post the files at the min but can when I get home later.
