Sound to activate a trigger

[fin_soldier 82]

Hey,

 

I'm working on a horror mission with puzzles.

The trouble has to do with some scripts due to my knowledge.

 

I have one trigger playing a sound.

The sound is 21 seconds long.

 

Once the sound trigger has been activated, the player has to go and activate another trigger within those 21 seconds.

 

The second trigger should be activated only when the sound is being played.

I'm asking for a solution for the condition field of the second trigger.

 

I'm thinking of something like:

this && while {true} do (or something like this)

 

Puzzle idea from Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Highly appreciate your help, and thanks in advance! :)

I'm sorry, I don't quite get it.

 

Should I replace "playsoundtrigger" with the audio file name?

Would be easier to do using a simple function instead of a trigger:

//inside a spawned function:

playSound "YourSound";

_duration = 21;
_timeOut = time + _duration;
TAG_fnc_puzzleSolved = false;

waitUntil {time > _timeOut OR TAG_fnc_puzzleSolved};
if (time < _timeOut AND TAG_fnc_puzzleSolved) exitWith {hint "Puzzle solved!"};
hint "Puzzle failed";//will only show if the time is up without the puzzle solved

You can't check if X sound (alarm for example) was played as such. You can only check if trigger/script/function/etc run. As @davidoss and @Grumpy Old Man said.

First of all I want to thank you all for your interest in helping! :)

Someone told me I didn't explain the specifics so here's more:

 

The triggers are to be specific hold action triggers.

 

Here's trigger A:

Quote

 

[generator,
"push",
"images\hand.paa",
"images\hand.paa",
"player distance generator < 3",
"player distance generator < 3",
{},
{},
{playsound "generator";},
{},
[],
2,
0,
true,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd"];

 

 

Trigger A, simply all it does is playsound.

 

When Trigger A is activated, within 21 seconds you'll have to run to Trigger B.

 

Trigger B:

Quote

[vent,
"press",
"images\hand.paa",
"images\hand.paa",
"player distance vent < 3",
"player distance vent < 3",
{},
{},
{roof = "done";},
{},
[],
1,
0,
true,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd"];

 

Trigger B sends roof == "done" to condition of the puzzle solution (Trigger C).

 

But Trigger C will only activate while Trigger A is playing the sound, and Trigger B has been activated.

 

I have a solution in mind, if there's a way to disable and enable a trigger?

I want the thing to be repeatable, so if you fail you'll simply need to repeat the process.

You can only check if a trigger is activated, no commands to activate a trigger, since that would be nonsensical.

A simple function might be all you need.
