Can anyone help me make a simple script to just play a lightning sound on my map? Just want it to play, stop for 120secounds and play again. which would be on a loop.

I already have the sound ready in my soundalias. Just need a script to run it.

Thanks,
Arkadian

main()
{
org = getent( "org", "targetname");

while(1)
{
       org  playsound("lightning")
       wait(120);
}
}

Something like that should work as long as you set up the sound files correctly. This script is based on just one script_origin.

ok codmp, thanks I'll try it

hmm doesnt seem to be working :(. Just get bad syntex error.

When you said "script_origin" did you mean placing a script origin box in the map then giving it targetname: "Org" Cause thats what I did. but just checking.


This is the code in my sound alias:

lightning,,customsounds/lightning.wav,0.99,0.99,,,,160,15000,voice,,mp_convoyassault_night,,,,,,,,

This is the code in my _fx.gsc:

 maps\mp\_fx::loopSound("lightning", (0.0,1.0,1392.0), 20);

and I have it uploaded in my zone file too as: rawfile,maps/mp/_lightning.gsc

Basicaly this is all the settings I have for the sound and script.

Sorry, I forgot a semi-colon in the code i posted above:

main()
{
org = getent( "org", "targetname");

while(1)
{
       org  playsound("lightning");
       wait(120);
}
}

This should work, or at least give no errors.

Hehe np codmp, I got it working eventually. The sounds are really good and happy the way its working
