how to make user action with sound playing ?

[vilas 477]

i used search forum , but search didnt give result

i am looking for way to have sirene sound turned on

how to make it ?

i made cfg sounds, i made class sirne_sound there

and i put in user actions

statement = "this animate [""policelight"", 1]; this say ""sirene_sound"" ";

And ? Doesn't it work with this statement ?

[vilas 477]

no, it doesnt work, i even checked ogg file, it was proper file, police lights i made (finallyyyyyyyy after so many retries) work for me, but no siren sound active, so finally i have animated police lightbar (not by script), but without any sound

If you have configed the sound in cfgsounds, can you play it otherwise in the editor (inside a trigger for example) ?

[vilas 477]

it works in meaning it works ONCE but i want loop, a constant sirene sound , repeating

is it possible to repeate sound without script, like we have engine sound

nevermind, i have done simple script (first time in my life)

topic can be closed or deleted, thanx , solved by script

while { _this animationphase "kogut_znika" >0}

do

{_this say "p85_police_siren"; Sleep 0.5;};

shame i was too lazy to read scripting language tutorials before

try

cfgsounds
{
class sirene
name = "whoopwhoop"
...
};


cfgvehicles
{
bla bla
class UserAction
{
blabla
statement = "this animate [""policelight"", 1]; this say ""whoopwhoop"" "; 
};
};

Any reason the light-bars cant be made as a separate addon that can be ATTACHTO any vehicle ?

yes, there is a reason, different bars on different cars:

Thanks Vilas, but no, I didnt mean YOUR light bars / YOUR vehicles ...... I mean some future mod from someone else (like me).

The addon could be a CfgVehicle class, just a lightbar (no wheels etc, just some USERACTIONS that could be used by any "nearby vehicle" that its attached to, right ?

[drunken officer 18]

Gnat, you can block the useraction.

_lb = _this select 0;

_no = nearestObjects [_lb,["man"],2]; (check for persons near to your lightbar)

_no1 = _no select 0; (getting the nearest one)

{....

start the animation script };

Otherway you get the name of object and set, that only the player of object can use the useraction.

@Vilas

I attach the lightbars with attachTo by the SUV's. The other cars are models with the lightbars. The lightflash are just simple "'#lightpoints". But it'S hard to drive at night^^

I try to find a way to attach the lightbar via script. So it's possbile to paint a VWGolf (config.cpp >> hiddenselection; hiddenselectiontextrue) and set the lightbar via script on top. So every guy can take the addon without any scriptcode in the description.txt.
