Stupid sound question

[wizzywig 0]

hi just adding some sounds to my launcher and missile i im getting a problem as im useing playsound "Sound name" just wondering how i get it so that the sound is not global and is used only in that addon

so it can not be heard from othere side of map

[vektorboson 8]

Use

_yourunit say "soundclass"

instead of playsound. Say is always bound to an object and will be only heard in a radius depending on loudness defined in your sound class.

ok i tryed that but i dont get any sound now

my config looks like this

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgSounds

{

class wizchoke

{

name="wizchoke";

sound[]={"\Tom\Sounds\choke.ogg",db+10,1};

titles[]={};

};

class tomlaunch

{

name="tomlaunch";

sound[]={"\Tom\Sounds\launch.ogg",db+10,1};

titles[]={};

};

class tomcover

{

name="tomcover";

sound[]={"\Tom\Sounds\cover.ogg",db+10,1};

titles[]={};

};

class tompod

{

name="tompod";

sound[]={"\Tom\Sounds\pod.ogg",db+10,1};

titles[]={};

};

class tompis

{

name="tompis";

sound[]={"\Tom\Sounds\pis.ogg",db+10,1};

titles[]={};

};

};

and the script using it looks like this

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_truck = _this select 0

_truck setfuel 0

_truck say "tomcover"

_truck animate ["Rightc", 1];

_truck animate ["Leftc", 1];

_truck animate ["coverb", 1];

~3.2

_truck say "tompod"

_truck animate ["pod", 1];

_truck say "tompis"

_truck animate ["piston", 1]

~8

[_truck] exec "\GLCMtubes\system.sqs"

Only thing i can see that is wrong (if i'm not wrong ) is your sound class:

class wizchoke

{

name="wizchoke";

sound[]={\Tom\Sounds\choke.ogg,db+10,1};

titles[]={};

Though you didn't need the " in your sound[]={\addonsound path.ogg,db+10,1};

Well, that is how i cfg my sounds and they work. Hope it works for you.

ok ill go try that now gimme 5mins

[wizzywig 0]

nope still no sound at all

[wizzywig 0]

sounds work with playsound but thats global

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

Hey great Tomahawk wizzywig

[wizzywig 0]

thanks we are getting textures done as we speak im just adding some sound effects to the launcher and othere stuff like the rocket and exsplosion

[wizzywig 0]

still not fixed any one wanna take a look at the config and sound file please pm me

[vektorboson 8]

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = { "wizchoke", "tomlaunch", ... };

class wizchoke

{

......

};

I don't know, whether it will work then, but I define the sounds[]-array in CfgSounds. Either I can't help you. You always can check the distance between the player and the launcher, and decide on this whether to play the sound or not.

is that needed in a config of a addon

[scfan42 0]

I think it is... give it a try

[wizzywig 0]

still have the same problem any help please

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

Sorry I'm not a good config writer otherwise I would help you.

But do you still need a texturer?

Maybe I could help you.

What does the 1 after the db+60 mean?

[stoppelhopser 0]

hm, that´s really strange.

i looked at a config i wrote for an addon, and except that i put the file path in hyphans it´s all the same and it works...

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[]={DX_CutWireSnd};

class DX_CutWireSnd

{

sound[]={"\DX_wire\snd\cutwire",1,1};

name = "DX_CutWireSnd";

titles[] = { };

};

};

in the script i use _unit say "DX_CutWireSnd".

on the other hand i use a wss file instead of ogg...

but that doesnt seem to be the problem since playsound works for you...

maybe try to code your sound declaration like i did and try again. i am pretty sure this shouldn´t be the matter, but who knows...
