Creating Sound

08-04-2006, 08:03 PM

Here is the trigger. Lightning works fine, but the sound won't work. Maybe I am referencing to the file wrong? The file is in Sounds/Ambient/Doodad Effects/RollingThunder1.wav

JASS:

function Lightning_Zap_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 local effect e
 local location tempLoc = GetRandomLocInRect(gg_rct_Recipe)
 local sound s=CreateSoundFromLabel("AmbientDoodadEffectsRollingThunder1",false,true,true,10,10)
    call PauseTimer(udg_LightningTimer)
    set e = AddSpecialEffectLoc("Doodads\\Cinematic\\Lightningbolt\\Lightningbolt.mdx",tempLoc)
    if GetRandomReal(0,1)>=.60 then
        call SetSoundVolume(s,GetRandomInt(80,100))
        call SetSoundPosition(s,GetLocationX(tempLoc),GetLocationY(tempLoc),0)
        call SetSoundDistanceCutoff(s,3500)
        call StartSound(s)
        call KillSoundWhenDone(s)
    endif
    call TriggerSleepAction(GetRandomReal(1,2.25))
    call DestroyEffect(e)
    call RemoveLocation( tempLoc )
    set tempLoc=null
    set e=null
    set s=null
    call TimerStart( udg_LightningTimer, GetRandomReal(0.5,5), false, null )
endfunction

function InitTrig_Lightning_Zap takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Lightning_Zap = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEvent( gg_trg_Lightning_Zap, udg_LightningTimer )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Lightning_Zap, function Lightning_Zap_Actions )
endfunction

The)TideHunter(	Dosent "AmbientDoodadEffectsRollingThunder1" have to be "Sounds/Ambient/Doodad Effects/RollingThunder1.wav"? Iv never really used sounds, but that could be it.

The_AwaKening	Still wouldn't work that way either. I've used sounds, but only after importing them to be used as a global. I wanted to try this method for a change, but it's not completely necessary.

Captain Griffen	Should be: "Sounds//Ambient//Doodad Effects//RollingThunder1.wav" Additionally, sounds should be preloaded in JASS before they are played, or for the first few times they are likely not to play, but get killed instantly by KillSoundWhenDone.

The_AwaKening	Could you please explain. How do I load them first?

08-05-2006, 04:59 AM	#6
Alevice	Most likely: JASS: call Preload("soundpath")

The_AwaKening	OK, so do you think it would be better to just import the sound as a global "gg_snd_RollingThunder1". The trigger to play the sound as you can see will be going off quite often. I want to make sure it's not gonna slow down the game in any way.

Captain Griffen	Global sounds cannot overlap with themselves. If you try and play it when it is still playing, it will ignore you. You only have to preload it ONCE, just do it at start up.

Ok, I have the sound now, but I want it only to play for someone with the camera over a certain position. It seems to be playing the sound everywhere. Here is what I have again.

JASS:

function Lightning_Zap_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 local effect e
 local location tempLoc = GetRandomLocInRect(gg_rct_Recipe)
 local sound s=CreateSoundFromLabel("Doodads\\Cinematic\\Lightningbolt\\LightningBolt1.wav",false,true,true,5,5)
    call PauseTimer(udg_LightningTimer)
    set e = AddSpecialEffectLoc("Doodads\\Cinematic\\Lightningbolt\\Lightningbolt.mdx",tempLoc)
    if GetRandomReal(0,1)>=.60 then
        call SetSoundVolume(s,GetRandomInt(80,100))
        call SetSoundPosition(s,GetLocationX(tempLoc),GetLocationY(tempLoc),0)
        call SetSoundDistanceCutoff(s,3500)
        call StartSound(s)
        call KillSoundWhenDone(s)
    endif
    call TriggerSleepAction(GetRandomReal(1,2.25))
    call DestroyEffect(e)
    call RemoveLocation( tempLoc )
    set tempLoc=null
    set e=null
    set s=null
    call TimerStart( udg_LightningTimer, GetRandomReal(0.5,5), false, null )
endfunction

function InitTrig_Lightning_Zap takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Lightning_Zap = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEvent( gg_trg_Lightning_Zap, udg_LightningTimer )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Lightning_Zap, function Lightning_Zap_Actions )
endfunction

Wyvernoid	Weird, I see that you've used it as 3D. But if you let me carp... dunno if that "3500" in SetSoundDistanceCutoff is too long.

The_AwaKening	I'm assuming that the 3500 is referring the the map points x and y which would only be a corner of the map if that is correct.
