Sound from object with BIS_fnc_playVideo

[Dixxonn 0]

Hello,

 

Do you know if it is possible to make the sound of a BIS_fnc_PlayVideo come out of an object ?

 

I created a script to play a video on a screen, but when I move away from it, the sound continues to play since it does not come out of the object.

 

Here is my script :

cursorObject setObjectTextureGlobal [0,_video];

 [_video, [10,10]] call BIS_fnc_playVideo;  

 

Thanks

I expect you'll need to strip the audio from the video file and play it separately via say3D.

I'm pretty sure I remember playing a clip from Escape from New York in-game on a large Image Texture object and it had positional audio. It has been a while but it was either using code from KillzoneKid or a function inside the game meant for the Apex or Contact DLC.

That's what I thought, thanks!

 

On the other hand, I tried to pass my script with the PlaySound3D. So I am trying to retrieve the values in an array

I can't get my select 2 back. It returns 0, do you have an idea? I used lbSetValue and lbValue but i don't know if it's the good decision 

 

private _display = findDisplay 3005;
private _control = _display displayCtrl 1400;
{
	private _i = _control lbAdd (_x select 0);
	_control lbSetData [_i,(_x select 1)];
	_control lbSetValue [_i,(_x select 2)];
} foreach Config_Videos;

private _display = findDisplay 3005;
private _control = _display displayCtrl 1400;
private _selectedIndex = lbCurSel _control;

private _video = _control lbData (lbCurSel _control);
[format["video: %1",_video],Color_Green] call Player_Notification;

private _sound = _control lbValue (lbCurSel _control);
[format["sound: %1",_sound],Color_Green] call Player_Notification;

private _building = nearestObjects [player, ["Land_Billboard_F"], 20];
[format["building: %1",_building],Color_Green] call Player_Notification;


_building setObjectTextureGlobal [0,_video];
playSound3D [_sound,_building,true,getPosASL _building,1,1,0];

 

About :

• _video : It's okay, thats works and return me the correct file
• _sound : That's doesn't work, return me 0 and not the file location
• _building : it's okay too

 

Thanks for your help

I don't really do much with controls, so I can't fully follow what you are doing, but I imagine it has to do with the way playSound3D needs to be directed to a file in the mission folder/.pbo.

Example 3:

playSound3D [getMissionPath "mySound.ogg", player]; // to play a mission directory sound

 

 

It may be as simple as adding getMissionPath to your existing call:

playSound3D [getMissionPath _sound,_building,true,getPosASL _building,1,1,0];

Hello,

 

Players need to select into an combobox the video. When he select a video name and he click on an "START" button, the video start.

 

I have an config file with 3 elements :

• Name
• Video path
• Sound path

 

But i don't find the way to get the sound path

 

Here is an preview of my config file :

 

Config_Videos =
[
    ["Video 1","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\FYD_Video1\video.ogv","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\FYD_Video1\sound.ogg"],
    ["Video 2","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\FYD_Video2\video.ogv","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\FYD_Video2\sound.ogg"],
    ["Video 3","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\LesGrosMots4_ParolesDeChat\video.ogv","\FYD_Cinema\Videos\LesGrosMots4_ParolesDeChat\sound.ogg"]
];
publicVariable "Config_Videos";
