Script: NVGoggles Activation On/Off = Sound

[MadM0nkey 1]

I have been meaning to add a sound effect that auto plays any time a player switches On/Off his nvgoogles similar to an old game I loved to play a long time ago, I'm just not sure how to do it automatically so that no one nearby hears tons of nvgoogles switching on if say we all spawn in together at one time..

for now I am just using the basic easy method just by adding this to the leaders player Init field:

playername action ["NVGoggles", playername]; playername say "NVG_On";

Doing it this old boring way means it only happens once when the player spawns in,

I would much rather have an auto script that will always play if switched On/Off for a specific mission.

the problem:

for one is not identifying if the Action nvgoogles is taking place eg being turned on/off in the loop so that it's being checked to set the action of playing the sound as a Type of returned Boolean??

If Type weapon "nvgoogles" mode: String ??

I know this isn't correct or even close but something like this so you get my drift:

NVgooglesFX_Init.sqf

/*
Side is: "WEST", "EAST", etc. -with quotes
playername is: name of the player = the sound source
distance sound is carried from relation to the active sound =player,  eg 1km?
nul = ["WEST",playername, 1] execVM "NVgooglesFX_Init.sqf";
*/

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

private ["_obj","_sensor","_wait","_check","_SoundOn","_active","_nvgon"];

_side = _this select 0;
_obj  = _this select 1;
_dist = _this select 2;

_wait = false;
_active = false;

_sensor = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", position _obj];
_sensor setTriggerActivation [_side, "present", true];
_sensor setTriggerArea [_dist, _dist, 0, true];
_sensor setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];
_sensor setTriggerText "nvgoogle sensor";
_sensor setTriggerTimeout [0, 0, 0, false];
_sensor setTriggerType "SWITCH";

   while {alive player and alive leader player} do
{
   _wait = true;
   while {_wait} do
   {
    _check = list _sensor;
       sleep 5.00;

       _nvgon = false;
    if (count _check > 0) then {_nvgon = true};

       if (_nvgon) then
       {
           if (not _active) then
           {
               _soundOn = createSoundSource ["NVG_On", getpos _obj, [], 0];
               _active = true;
               hint " Debug: NV turned on?";
           };
       }
       else
       if (_nvgon) then
       {
           if (not _active) then
           {
                _soundOn = createSoundSource ["NVG_Off", getpos _obj, [], 0];
                _active = false;
                hint " Debug: NV turned off?"; 
           };
       }
       else
       {
           if (_active) then
           {
               deletevehicle _soundOn;
               _active = false;
               _wait = false;
           };
       };
   };
};

description.ext for missions folder

//  sounds
class CfgSounds
{
   // List of sounds (.ogg files without the .ogg extension)
sounds[] = {NVG_On, NVG_Off};

   // Definition for each sound
   class NVG_On
   {
       name = "NVG_On"; // Name for mission editor
       sound[] = {\sounds\nvgon.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
       titles[] = {0, ""};
   };
   class NVG_Off

       name = "NVG_Off"; // Name for mission editor

I take it Splinter Cell sound fx editing falls under the category: not cool enough to help you *bumb*

Into the init.sqf:

if (!isDedicated) then
{
nvGogglesActive = false;
nvGoggleKeys	= actionKeys "NightVision";

checkForNVGoggles = {
	_keyCode = _this;
	if (player hasWeapon "NVGoggles") then
	{
		if (_keyCode in nvGoggleKeys) then
		{
			_sound = if(nvGogglesActive) then {"NVG_Off"} else {"NVG_On"};

			player setVehicleInit format["this say3D '%1';", _sound];
			processInitCommands;
			clearVehicleInit player;

			nvGogglesActive = !nvGogglesActive;
		};
	}
	else
	{
		nvGogglesActive = false;
	};
};

waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 46)};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["keyPress", "(_this select 1) call checkForNVGoggles;"];
};
