How to attach sound to spawned animal classname

[CaptainBravo 0]

I need help with a mission where I need to attach sound file to all animals. So "fin" dogs will have a sound file. These animals will spawn half way through mission and was wondering if there was a way to attach the same sound file to all animals with same class name.

Thanks for your help.

How do the animals spawn in? Can you post your script? Or are they spawned in a different way?

[Rav_Raven 8]

Hello and first of all I must clarify that it is good to be back after a sabbatical of almost 2 years (I hope not to have lost touch :cool:)

1 - Create an AI center for the civil side (for example)

_center = createcenter civilian;

2 - Create a group belonging to that side

_grp = creategroup civilian;

3 - Create an animal (in this example is a cow) in the location of a logical unit (UL_location) and a random distance of 10 meters of it.

_animal = _grp createUnit ["COW01_EP1", getpos UL_location, [], 10, "FORM"];

4 - We put the animal in the "safe" to ignore any type of training group it belonged to a group with more than one unit.

_animal setbehaviour "safe";

5 - Create a sound source such as "sound_cow" (see the list of cfgvehicles for other sounds: dogs, sheep, crows, etc)

_soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Cow", position _animal, [], 0];

6 - We attach the source of sound to the animal to move along it.

_soundOn attachto [_animal, [0,2,1]];

I use it a lot in a script that generated their own groups of animals in dynamic form according to presence / absence of any side.

Herds Generator:

private ["_animal","_canMin","_canMax","_px","_py","_tope","_ani","_radares","_sonidos","_genera","_pos"];

_sides = _this select 0;
_donde = _this select 1;
_can = _this select 2;
_range = _this select 3;
_animal = _this select 4;

_centro = createcenter civilian;
_grp = creategroup civilian;

_canMin = _can select 0;
_canMax = _can select 1;
if (_canMin == _canMax) then {_tope = _canMax} else {_tope = (random(_canMax - _canMin) + _canMin)};

_pos = position _donde;
_px = _pos select 0;
_py = _pos select 1;

_radares = [];
{
_target = format ["%1", _x];
_radar = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _pos];
_radar setTriggerActivation [_Target, "present", true];
_radar setTriggerArea [500, 500, 0, true];
_radar setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];
_radar setTriggerTimeout [0, 0, 0, false];
_radar setTriggerType "SWITCH";

_radares = _radares + [_radar];
} foreach _sides;

_yaG = false; _aborta = false;
while {not _aborta} do
{
_genera = false; 
{
	_x setpos _pos;
	_detect = LIST _x;
	sleep 1;
	if (count _detect > 0) then {_genera = true};
} foreach _radares;
if (_tope < 1) then {_genera = false; _yaG = false};
sleep 10;

if (_genera and not _yaG) then
{
	_sonidos = []; _c = 0;
	for [{_i = 0}, {_i < _tope}, {_i = _i + 1}] do
	{
		_ani = _grp createUnit [_animal,_pos, [], _range, "FORM"];
		_ani setbehaviour "safe";
		if (_c == 7) then
		{
			_soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Cow", position _ani, [], 0];
			_soundOn attachto [_ani, [0,2,1]];
			_sonidos = _sonidos + [_soundOn];
			_c = 0;
		};
		_c = _c +1;
	};
	_yaG = true;
};

if (not _genera and _yaG) then
{
	_tope = count units _grp;
	_pos = position (leader _grp);
	for [{_i = 0}, {_i < count _sonidos}, {_i = _i + 1}] do
	{
		deletevehicle (_sonidos select _i);
	};
	{deletevehicle _x} foreach (units _grp);
	_yaG = false; _sonidos = [];
};
if (_tope < 1) then {_aborta = true};
};

The generator checks every 10 seconds by the presence of any given side and generates the herd (the distance of detection is 500 meters but can be changed in the script to your taste). For absence, remove the animals, replacing the same amount he had when removed, dead animals do not regenerate.

I hope it is useful

@RAV RAVEN: Thanks or the script. How would I modify it to fit above script where sound attached to dogs?

@CaptainBravo

To use a sound source dog just change this line of code that looks like this:

_soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Dog", position _ani, [], 0];

Just keep in mind that the herds script creates a sound source each 7 cows. (Not one for each)

Sound Class
Sound_Owl
Sound_Stream
Sound_Frog
Sound_Frogs
Sound_Chicken
Sound_Cock
Sound_Cow
Sound_Crow
Sound_Wolf
Sound_Dog
Sound_BadDog
Sound_SorrowDog
Sound_LittleDog
Sound_Flies

Regards.

I mean where do I place _soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Dog", position _ani, [], 0] in the DogPatrol script. I have tried adding that line to script but did not work.

So not sure where/how to add?

Thanks.

[Rav_Raven 8]

@CaptainBravo

Locate this line of code in your script:

_perro = call compile format ["%1", _NombrePerro];

And add these 2 lines below:

_soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Dog", position _perro, [], 0];
_soundOn attachto [_perro, [0,1,0.5]];

That's enough to link the sound to the dog.

Something not mentioned is that if the dog dies, the sound must be removed (deletevehicle _soundOn).

Try and tell me if there is a problem. Greetings.

Thanks Rav Raven for the help. For some odd reason when I add those 2 lines to the script, the dogs stop spawning :confused:

Not sure why ?

[Rav_Raven 8]

I sent you a PM.

[Rav_Raven 8]

@CaptainBravo

Check your mail. :cool:

[CaptainBravo 0]

Thanks Rav Raven.

It works well except when the dogs die, the sound is still there. It is almost like having ghosts of dogs running around :)

Anyway of disabling/stopping sound once the dogs are dead?

[Rav_Raven 8]

Just add these 2 lines (color red) of code after creating the sound and link it to the dog.

_soundOn = createSoundSource ["Sound_Dog", position _perro, [], 0];

_soundOn attachto [_perro, [0,1,0.5]];

[color="#FF0000"]_perro setvariable ["soundDog", _soundOn];

_EHkilledIdx = _perro addEventHandler ["killed", {deletevehicle ((_this select 0) getvariable "soundDog")}];[/color]

The variable that refers to the sound of the dog is stored (SetVariable) in the memory space corresponding to the unit (dog) and when the dog dies activates the eventhandler that read this variable (GetVariable) and uses it to eliminate the sound (deletevehicle).

Greetings.

[CaptainBravo 0]

It works great, thanks Rav Raven :ok:
