[SCRIPT] Delay sound from playing

[Mudbill]

The timer function will run another set of code after it expires. It's quite simple.

If you want to run a script after 5 seconds of starting the map, here's an example snippet:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    AddTimer("timername", 5.0f, "TimerFunction");
}

void TimerFunction(string &in asTimer)
{
    RunScript();
} 


Use the AddTimer line to create a new timer. The first argument is the internal reference name for the timer. You can keep it blank for the most part, unless you need to remove the timer before it expires.

The second argument is the time until it expires (here 5 seconds).

The last argument is the function that will be called when it expires. Write a name here, then create that callback somewhere else in your script.

The callback must have the matching constructor parameters for a timer function (being string &in asTimer). Inside that block, run whatever lines you want to happen after the specified time. In your case, use the PlaySoundAtEntity one.
