How to add custom sound to a unit on hit

[liukang168 1]

And another question is it possible to add a custom sound to a unit. For example you wear a metal protected vest, which wouldnt sound on hit like flesh being hit, rather a *pling* from the metal plate.

In my case I am building a Unit that is made out of metal :) So I would like to see if you can change the sound when the unit is hit by a bullet.

This is done via the RVMAT, where you add the following line at the start of the rvmat:

surfaceInfo = "data\metal.bisurf";

I just added the metal.rvmt instead of the meat.rvmt ... did its job.

Seems like my solution doesnt work, makes the units not a threat ... Answered 2 early. Just created a bug, didnt had to do wit h that ... Works.

rvmats can't alter the threat of a unit, they're just there to tell the engine what material is being used, how shiney it is, etc etc - you've introduced that somewhere else.

well weired, the unit makes impact sound of the bullets instead of the sound when flesh is hit

i always thought if the thicknes restitution etc on the bisurf meant the AI`s bullets wouldnt penetrate , it wouldnt have a go at it anymore ?

much like armour too big for peashooter gun = fook that i am gonna get my launcher out ?

Have you used metalplate or thin metal rvmat for your skin maybe ?

Hard to judge on that as the terminator has a high set armor value. Have to test that once i am back. I will update this on sunday...
