sound Play sounds for specific players

[Dj Rolnik 29]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to wrap my head around the various playMusic, say2D, playSound3D commands and am still having trouble. I would like achieve the following two things:

 

- When a blufor player uses an action on an object, ONLY the blufor players hear a 2D sound (it has to follow the player and be heard locally, like a radio message of sort).

- The same as above, but triggered when any blufor player enters a trigger.

 

I tried various commands but am still struggling with locality of the commands. I believe that I am not using them on the correct clients, or something like that. The reason it needs to be played for side is that the mission is supposed to be PvP, so I do not want the opfor team to hear the audio.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Cheers!

playSound is the right option. it has local effect and is therefore only heard by the player that executed the command. To make all BLUFOR players hear it we use remoteExec:

_object addAction ["Play Sound for BLUFOR", {
	"soundName" remoteExec ["playSound", allPlayers select {side _x == west}];
}];

The same code can be used for the trigger.

RemoteExec also targets a side, so you should just be able to put West.

Confirmed, working just as expected. Thank you my man, much appreciated!

true. But question: The following setup:

• Hosted MP
• Host is player on the east side
• Another player west
• AI created on the server for side west
• Execute remoteExec with west targets

Isn't the AI getting targeted as well, so the sound also plays for the server, aka the host on the east side?

 

EDIT: side works fine. as BIKI and @pierremgi say, only players are considered

Read BIKI: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/remoteExec
Side - The function / command will be executed on machines where the player is on the specified side.
