Sound Flags

Oh..............


Sorry, but I don't know if it means anything or not. Looks like it should be working for you....your sound emitter is set up correctly right? I'm sure you did it right...

thanks for pointing out my typo.....

blah....I'm not good for anything right now, I can barely keep my eyes open. Sorry to whimp out, but I'm going to go lay down......I'll check back later tonight. Keep us posted.

I tried detect_trigger but still no joy. In the audio.0.elf log it seems to load with the age but it does not try to steam at the button press.

The good thing is that if it works this way, we can make it work easily for everyone with just one extra line in the quickscript.

your sound emitter is set up correctly right? I'm sure you did it right...

I am not so sure. It is the first time I used soundfx. I will play a bit with the flags.

Edit: It works! I had forgotten to set the min- and maxfdist on the 3d sound.

Outstanding D'Lanor!

Just woke up from my nap, so that's good news to hear!

So what all did you have to do to make it work?

EDIT: oh, by the way, thanks for pointing out that typo, that was the problem! Door works now, and waits until after the animation to move.

I have uploaded the modified quickscript file (alc_QuickScripts.py) to the SVN contrib/D'Lanor folder. Here is how it works: All you have to do is add a single line for your sound emitter.

Code: Select all

<clickable object>:
    quickscript:
        simpleclick:
            pythonfile: <python filename without .py>
            region: <region object>
            animation: <animation name without Male/Female>
            animtarget: <target object>
            soundemitter: <emitter object>
 

Note that this still requires the behavior in your Python script to start the animation. Perhaps this should be made optional in the quickscript, but I cannot stress enough that the behavior method is the only way to go if you want multiplayer compatibility. Anyway, here is how to start the animation with Python.

Code: Select all

...

actClickableObject = ptAttribActivator(1, 'Act: Clickable Object')
ObjectMsg = ptAttribString(2, 'Object String')
Behavior = ptAttribBehavior(3, 'Avatar animation')

...

    def OnNotify(self, state, id, events):
        if ((id == actClickableObject.id) and state):
            Avatar = PtFindAvatar(events)
            Behavior.run(Avatar)

Edit: I removed the netforce=1 from the Behavior Python code. That could have resulted in being forced to do the animation multiple times in a laggy multiplayer situation. If you have ever had your avatar moving by itself in any online Uru incarnation... this was the reason.

Excellent! I didn't have to write anything.

I've merged your quickscript addition. You can now do what andy just did over the last few pages in 4 lines. (looking at you Aloys )

[D'Lanor]

Nadnerb, I have a question about the volume of the sound responder. Currently the quickscript sets it to a default value of 1. But sound emitters have their own specific volume. Does the sound responder override the volume setting of the emitter? Because that is the impression I get when I listen to my click sound in the game.

If that is true then I can make the quickscript grab the volume from the alcscript of the emitter object. I have a working script which does that. But would it be correct to do this?

[Nadnerb]

Yes, it would be correct. The current volume setting of 1 is a shortcut.

[Aloys]

Yay!
I love it when a plan comes together!
