addEventHandler problem - please help!

[Nicole_UK 5]

Hello, so i have an issue im trying to solve and im pretty sure its something simple but i cant work it out.

 

Im wanting to play a sound when someone fires their weapon (a battle cry), i thought i had the correct script thing but its not working can someone help?

 

my code (i put this in the init box of the unit:

 

 unit1 addEventHandler ["Fired", unit1 say3D ["sound1"]; 
}]; 

 

but it keeps saying im missing a ";" and wont let me enter it. 

 

All i want is for units to shout angrily when they fire their weapon ☹️

Sound must be defined in CfgSounds of the Description.ext or main config. Have you did that?

heres what im ptting maybe you guys can see where im going wrong lol because i just dont get it

 

heres my description.ext (the sounds list):

 

class CfgSounds
{
 class akbar1
 {
  name = "akbar1"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\akbar1.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar2
 {
  name = "akbar2"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\akbar2.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar3
 {
  name = "akbar3"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar3.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 }; 
 class akbar4
 {
  name = "akbar4"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\akbar4.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar5
 {
  name = "akbar5"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar5.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};

  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar7
 {
  name = "akbar7"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar7.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar8
 {
  name = "akbar8"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar8.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar9
 {
  name = "akbar9"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar9.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class akbar10

  name = "akbar10"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\akbar10.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation1
 {
  name = "ululation1"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\ululation1.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation2
 {
  name = "ululation2"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\ululation2.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation3
 {
  name = "ululation3"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation3.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 }; 
 class ululation4
 {
  name = "ululation4"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {\Sound\ululation4.ogg, 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation5
 {
  name = "ululation5"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation5.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation6
 {
  name = "ululation6"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation6.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation7
 {
  name = "ululation7"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation7.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation8
 {
  name = "ululation8"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation8.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation9
 {
  name = "ululation9"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation9.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
 };
 class ululation10
 {
  name = "ululation10"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\ululation10.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
};
 class YPJ_song
 {
  name = "YPJ_song"; // Name for mission editor
  sound[] = {"\Sound\YPJ_song.ogg", 0.8, 1.0};
  titles[] = {0, ""};
};

};

 

 

in the editor i names my units (variable name) and put this in their init (the unit's variable names are i1, i2, i3, etc...):

 

this addEventHandler ["Fired", { params ["_i1"]; _i1 say3D ["akbar1"]; }];

 

Im just not sure where im going wrong?? 😓

[razzored 37]

Instead of adding _i1 ect and use it in every init you could use a condition like

{ if (side _x isEqualTo EAST) then { _x addEventHandler ["Fired", _unit say3D ["akbar1"];}];  // will take into account any unit that is OPFOR
and then add it  to the mission init ect.

Try with a cfgSound like this:

 

class CfgSounds {
  sounds[] = {"akbar1","akbar2","akbar3",..............  all your stringed classes here};
  class akbar1 {
    name = "akbar1";
    sound[] = {"sound\akbar1.ogg",db+20,1.0,150};  // no \ at start, stringed path, other params as you like. (volume pitch distance max)
    titles[] = {};
  };

.....................
};

 

then,

this addEventHandler ["Fired", { params ["_i1"]; _i1 say3D "akbar1"; }];

should work
