[REQUEST] Level editor sounds tutorial

[palistov]

For your random soundscape, use a simple switch function. In your OnStart() put this:

AddTimer("soundscape_start", RandInt(10,20), "SoundScape");

Add any number of areas around your map and index them, meaning name them soundarea_1, soundarea_2, soundarea_3, etc. Now you create your SoundScape function.

Code: (Select All)

void SoundScape(string &in asTimer)
{
    switch(RandInt(1,4)) {
        case 1:
            PlaySoundAtEntity("", "soundfile1.snt", "soundarea_"+RandInt(1,10), 0, false);
        break;
        case 2:
            PlaySoundAtEntity("", "soundfile2.snt", "soundarea_"+RandInt(1,10), 0, false);
        break;
        case 3:
            PlaySoundAtEntity("", "soundfile3.snt", "soundarea_"+RandInt(1,10), 0, false);
        break;
        case 4:
            PlaySoundAtEntity("", "soundfile4.snt", "soundarea_"+RandInt(1,10), 0, false);
        break;
    }
    AddTimer("soundscape_reloop", RandInt(10,20), "SoundScape");
}

//change the RandInt(1,10) to however many areas you have. If you have 10 areas make it 1,10; if you have 20 make it 1,20 etc. You can change the frequency of the sounds by altering the timer duration under each case.
