okay, trying to do kickable sounds here, and I'm getting an export error (gee, surprise, surprise)

The tutorial shows this:

Here are the props for your physical object (say a beach-ball):

Code: Select all
<Kickable-Object name>: physical: sndgroup: (metal|grass|wood|stone|<int>(advanced users only)) impact: <your random sound emitter name (don't use this var if you don't want any)> slide: <your random sound emitter name (don't use this var if you don't want any)>

I'm getting an error with the sndgroup.

Now, EXACTLY how do we put this in? Do we include the parens? Can I just list one surface? IE wood, etc.

Here's the error I keep getting in the console:

Code: Select all: File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\prp_ObjClas ses.py", line 1667, in _Export PhysicalSndGroup.data.export_obj(obj) File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\prp_ObjClas ses.py", line 1704, in export_obj self.fGroup = int(SndGroupFlags) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '(wood)'

Remove the parenthesis from around (wood)

The pipe | denotes OR while everything in () are the options.

Got it. Thanks Adam.

Acutally I HAD removed the parens, but still got an error........because I missed one! hehe.

Hate those typos!

Okay...now if I can only stop making the chair act like a super bouncy ball........... :shock:

Okay........no sound. The chair makes no sound what so ever if I slide it or impact it......

Are there any known issues? I just did a forum search and can't find any.

IIRC Lontahv had those issues when he implemented this feature... I'll defer to him on this because I'm not familiar with these objects...

I had issues with slide. Only impact worked for me.

At my first attempt I forgot the minfdist/maxfdist which 3d sounds require. :oops:

You may want to check if you have that set up right.

The tutorial makes no mention of any of the 3d sound flags at all.

Here's a pic of my ALCscript for the chair. I have 2 empties parented to the chair, a slide and a impact emitter (just like Cyan does it for say the fire mables).

I've looked through my Audio log with elf, and the emitters are not even being played. The bottom of the script is the sound group for the floor, past that I've also added it for the walls. Do I HAVE to make colliders now for the floors and walls for this to work? As it stands now, I just have the bounds set for the floor and walls.

Okay I added the is3dsound flag to both emitters, along with the minfdist and maxfdist, type, etc.

I entered and kicked the chair around. Nothing. The footsteps still work. But still no sound at all from the chair, sliding or hitting things.

Well, you need you have your current ground collider set to a "group"... yes, it has to be a collider. If you have an invisible collider-mesh then that would be what you set. Basically anything that you want your object to hit and make sound you need to set up a "group" for it.

Not sure what the problem could be... a little buggy in testing but at release impact seemed to be sound... pun intended.

If you want to send me your exported age I could take a look at what the plugin is writing.

That is exactly what happened to my slide sounds. They were in the logfile but could not be heard.
