Quick Question

[KillerSkaarj]

So I'm making a little practice mod called "TauntBox" and it works just fine.

However, there's one thing I want to know. Let me post the script first:

Code: Select all

//=============================================================================
// TauntBox.
//=============================================================================
class TauntBox expands Pickup;

Var(Taunts) sound Taunt1;
var(Taunts) string Text1;

state Activated
{
   function endstate()
   {
     bActive = false;            
   }

Exec Function TargetA()
{
   Playsound(Taunt1);
}
      
Begin:
}

state DeActivated
{
begin:
}

Would the above code only emit the sound so that it can only be heard if you're near the player using it? That's all I want to know. After all, this IS a test mod and I don't plan to make it a full blown mod.

Okay then. *growls*

The "PlaySound" function does NOT use byte's for Volume, Radius, and Pitch; Volume and Pitch are percentages, Radius is expressed in Unreal Units.

These are the following defaults for those variables:

For radius, it's 4096.0
For both Volume and Pitch it's 1.0


This could work for your tastes.

Code: Select all

//=============================================================================
// TauntBox.
//=============================================================================
class TauntBox expands Pickup;

Var(Taunts) sound Taunt1;
var(Taunts) string Text1;

state Activated
{
   function endstate()
   {
      bActive = false;            
   }

Exec Function TargetA()
{
   Owner.Playsound(Taunt1,SLOT_None,1.0,false,6590.0,1.0);
}
      
Begin:
}

state DeActivated
{
begin:
}

I hope I'm a helpful dragon, if not the most hated, insulted individual in the Unreal community. *snarls*

Sooo... will this code make the sound be able to be heard throughout the entire level?

Also, did you read the whole post? 0.o It sounds like you stopped reading at the PlaySound part.

[fxsr789]

You asked if you wanted only players near that player to hear it, there's the sound radius fit for that. Set the sound radius to 2147483647 if you want it throughout the level.

Or manually call ClientPlaySound in each playerpawn actor.

Code: Select all

local pawn P;
For(P=Level.PawnList;P!=None;P=P.NextPawn)
  If(P.IsA('Playerpawn')) 
    Playerpawn(P).ClientPlaySound( . . . );

mew mew! mmmew!

That could work to, do NOT set volume beyond 4.0 - 10 or so or it will distort or sound awful.. (2.0 - 4.0 is good enough)

Well, thanks for the help, guys. Oh and Pcube, whatever happened to your website? Too many people spamming up the guestbook?

[fxsr789]

No, he took it down because of people like Jackrabbit.

Hey Fenix and Pcube, if you two guys are so good at this "sound" stuff, why can't you help with OpenAL/FMOD? All I see you do is sit in the server all day pissing time away

[fxsr789]

Burn in hell. Your god dammed immaturity and childish antics are going to get you killed. This is why we both have you banned from the server, and why >MewTwo

Oh... Anyone wish to lock this now?

Oh, and why did Fenix get banned? Is it because of the post below?
