1st Person & 3rd person Idea Help Needed

[bigpickle 0]

Hi, I'm currently building a sound mod, I would like to have a script to distinguish between 1st & 3rd person camera as I would like to have a different sound specifically for each view.

Is any one able to write a basic script for me? or advise me on how to do this?

Hey Sarge46, thanks for the pointer, I'm not sure how to proceed with the info. I've tried inserting it straight into my cfg patches but it didn't work.

class EBR_base_F : Rifle_Long_Base_F  
{
	drySound[] = {"\SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\Dry",1,1,20};
	reloadMagazineSound[] = {"\SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\Reload",1,1,20};

	class Single: Mode_SemiAuto
	{			
                       if (cameraOn == _player && cameraView == "INTERNAL") then
                { 
		begin1[] = {"SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\ebr",1,1,600};
		soundBegin[] = {"begin1",1};
                       };

		if (cameraOn == _player && cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then
                { 
		begin1[] = {"SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\test1",1,1,600};
		soundBegin[] = {"begin1",1};	
                       };			
         };
};

Can you explain how I implement it, i don't have the scripting knowledge to realize my idea.

                { 
		begin1[] = {"SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\ebr",1,1,600};
		soundBegin[] ={begin1,1};
                       };

		if (cameraOn == player && cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then
                { 
		begin1[] = {"SpeedOfSoundAlpha_ebr\test1",1,1,600};
		soundBegin[] = {begin1,1};	
                       };			
         };
};

Try that?

are configs updatable in real time like this? i thought they are loaded as static data when the game starts. i'm not a programmer but experience tells me that this won't work. i would be very happy if someone would prove me wrong on this though because it would open a whole new world of possibilities for myself too.;)

Nah it don't work i get an error when it try to binarize it because of using the word "if" anyway.

Any update on this? I would like to know as well whether it is possible to distinquish between 3rd person and 1st person.

you cannot insert scripting like that into configs - not doable in the engine

I dont know if this works for gun sounds, but for vehicles it is standard practice to have 2 sounds defined.

	class NoiseInt{sound[]={"A3\sounds_f\vehicles\armor\noises\noise_tank_int_1",0.56234133,1};
	frequency="1";
	volume="(1-camPos)*(angVelocity max 0.04)*(speed factor[4, 25])";
	};
	class NoiseExt{sound[]={"A3\sounds_f\vehicles\armor\noises\noise_tank_ext_1",0.79432821,1,150};
	frequency="1";
	volume="camPos*(angVelocity max 0.04)*(speed factor[4, 25])";
	};

because of the camPos multiplier the Interior sound has 0 volume when in exterior view, and vice versa.
