[CHAOS] Custom Sound & Switch Script

[FlawlessHappiness]

I'm working on a Full Conversion.

Custom Sounds:

Spoiler below!

I have created 5 custom sounds.
breath_loop1.ogg
breath_loop2.ogg
breath_loop3.ogg
breath_loop4.ogg
breath_loop5.ogg

After that i created 5 .snt files which a almost the same, except for the names.

<SOUNDENTITY>
<SOUNDS>
<Main>
<Sound File="breath_loop1" />
</Main>
</SOUNDS>
<PROPERTIES Volume="0.5" MinDistance="1" MaxDistance="10" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="False" Loop="True" Use3D="True" Blockable="True" BlockVolumeMul="0.7" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>

This is the "react_breath.snt" file which i have editted in 2 ways.
- I made it loop.
- I changed the name.

Both the .snt files and the .ogg files are in my "sounds" folder of my full conversion.

My "resources.cfg" also has this line:
<Directory Path="/Nightmare/sounds" AddSubDirs="true" />

Every time I open my Full Conversion with the .bat file, and every time none of the 5 custom sounds are working.

Got any idea why?

Switch Script

Spoiler below!

I tried a Switch script that looks like this:

if(asTimer == "PlayerAh")
{
int AhVariable = RandInt(1, 2)
switch(AhVariable)
{
case 1:
PlaySoundAtEntity("Aaaah1", "player_react_guardian1.snt", "Player", 0, false);
AddTimer("PlayerAh", RandInt(10, 20), "Ambience");
break;

case 2:
PlaySoundAtEntity("Aaaah2", "player_react_guardian2.snt", "Player", 0, false);
AddTimer("PlayerAh", RandInt(10, 20), "Ambience");
break;
}
}

(It's in the middle of a timer, that's why there is no "void" in the start, and it starts with an if-statement)

When I start my Full Conversion it says that it expects a ; at the bold text. That's right where the switch-line is.

Any help on this?

nvm, that's not the problem.

PHP Code: (Select All)

int AhVariable = RandInt(1, 2) 


Try putting a semicolon there.

I don't see how this:
int AhVariable = RandInt(1, 2)

is different from this:
int rand = RandInt(10,20);

except for the semicolon at the end.

Variable declarations don't need a semicolon?

I tried putting a semicolon there. The map loads, but the sound does not play... Maybe I should just stick with a timer.

Bump, because the sound problem is still a problem

[Adrianis]

2 threads for this problem is a bad idea....

Are you sure the sounds work outside of this switch...case statement?
Try playing them when the map loads, so that you know the problem is with the code not the sounds themselves

[FlawlessHappiness]

I only created one thread. I found out i didn't just have a switch problem but also a sound problem
The sound problem is not in the switch problem.

you see the sound problem in my first post

[Adrianis]

Oh sorry, it's just that you also posted about a problem with the script you were having in the thread over in the dev articles subforum.

Try playing the sound files with the PlayMusic function, as that doesn't require the .snt, that might help narrow down the cause of the issue

[FlawlessHappiness]

Ok so that works... It's the .snt file then..
EDIT: Ok i made it work.. I don't know what i did but i just tweaked some of the properties.

NOw it's like this:

<SOUNDENTITY>
<SOUNDS>
<Main>
<Sound File="breath_loop1" />
</Main>
</SOUNDS>
<PROPERTIES Volume="1" MinDistance="1" MaxDistance="10" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="False" Loop="True" Use3D="False" Blockable="False" BlockVolumeMul="0.7" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>
