Thread: Audio Triggers - randomising

Hey again!

Couple of audio questions for you that I cannot resolve...

1. How would one script multiple random audio triggers?

2. Any reason why a scripted audio file would sometimes play faster/slower than the original track? Server load perhaps? Priority of audio type set in the configs?
The one in below code is about 20 seconds in length, and plays at different speeds every time I trigger it!

Below is code for using a radio for playback.

But I would like to add more than one song - say 4-5 songs, and have them play randomly when a player triggers it.

Code:

main:

//*** Sounds
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache rac_radio sounds/rac_radio/heyyeah.wav soundparms 4.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 500 4000 local loaded maps "m dm obj"
                                                                          
local.rac_radio = spawn script_model
local.rac_radio model "static/static_radio2.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.rac_radio.origin = (2237 4467 -195 )
local.rac_radio.angles = ( 0 270 0 )
local.rac_radio.scale = 1
 
local.rac_radiotrigger = spawn trigger_use origin ( 2237 4467 -195 )
local.rac_radiotrigger setsize ( -30 -30 0 ) ( 30 30 60 )
 
while(1)
{
 
local.rac_radiotrigger waittill trigger
local.rac_radiotrigger notTriggerable
 
local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio
 
wait 20
 
local.rac_radiotrigger triggerable
}
end

Code:

maybe this helps u a bit?

Thanks as always, slimbips. Also, LOL at that script. You got an IP of that halloween server in action? Wouldnt mind seeing it in full flight.

Also, for those curious about random sound triggers, I learnt something new today. You dont need to use randomint for randomising sounds.

In the ubersound script, you will see sounds that have the same alias name, but with different numbers. If the sound name is called for, without a number, the game will automatically pick one of the numbered sounds at random.

This explains a problem I was having with a series of announcer voices being randomised when I never asked them to be. Noob error I guess!

Eg:

When a wooden door is opened, the door calls for "door_wood_open_move" and the game randomly picks from these four numbered sounds.

Code:

aliascache door_wood_open_move1 sound/mechanics/DoorWoodOpen_01.wav soundparms 1.2 0.2 0.8 0.2 160 1600 item loaded maps "m1 m2 m3l2 m3l3 m4 m5 m6 dm moh obj train"
aliascache door_wood_open_move2 sound/mechanics/DoorWoodOpen_02.wav soundparms 1.2 0.2 0.8 0.2 160 1600 item loaded maps "m1 m2 m3l2 m3l3 m4 m5 m6 dm moh obj train"
aliascache door_wood_open_move3 sound/mechanics/DoorWoodOpen_03.wav soundparms 1.2 0.2 0.8 0.2 160 1600 item loaded maps "m1 m2 m3l2 m3l3 m4 m5 m6 dm moh obj train"
aliascache door_wood_open_move4 sound/mechanics/DoorWoodOpen_04.wav soundparms 1.2 0.2 0.8 0.2 160 1600 item loaded maps "m1 m2 m3l2 m3l3 m4 m5 m6 dm moh obj train"

Huh. There you go.

Thanks again all!

the trick or treat mod is a very good mod.. its only on algiers but worth a tryzzzzzz-algiers-trick-o-treat.pk3

Hey all,

So I decided to go the route that slimbips mentioned, wtih randomising as having some issues, but I couldnt get it to work. I cannot activate the trigger. No significant errors from console. the model is there, but it wont play the sound.
Am currently executing from dmprecache, but will exec fromt map's .scr once this is working.
Any ideas on how I can fix this script to work? Goal is to have a trigger that randomises the audio on a trigger, and displays a msg. Thanks again.

Code:

main:

//*** Sounds
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache rac_radio1 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio1.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
local.master aliascache rac_radio2 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio2.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"

local.rac_radio = spawn script_model
local.rac_radio model "static/phonograph.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.rac_radio.origin = ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radio.angles = ( 0 270 0 )
local.rac_radio.scale = 1

local.rac_radiotrigger = spawn trigger_use origin ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radiotrigger setsize ( -30 -30 0 ) ( 30 30 60 )
local.rac_radio setthread favourite_song
local.rac_radio message "Achieved: Your Favourite Song" 


favourite_song:

local.player=parm.other

local.random = randomint(2)

switch (local.random)
{
case 0:
local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio1
break

case 1:
local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio2
break

// etc. etc.

} 

local.rac_radiotrigger waittill trigger
local.rac_radiotrigger notTriggerable

wait 20

local.rac_radiotrigger triggerable

end

end

Thanks, though still a no go.

Radio appears, message appears but
getting NIL errors on the
local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio1
and
local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio2

- as a result the sounds don't play.

Any tips? Thanks again all. Been at this for 5hrs, and cannot work it
Running 1.11, btw.

It is because the setthread favourite_song has no idea what the local.rac_radio variable is, since you made it local to the previous thread.
It looks to me as if you have combined too different methods for triggers into one.

One method involves using the setthread to activate when the trigger is triggered, the other involves a loop with a waittill trigger event.

So you can either use one or the other, weird results happen when you combine them.

Example
Setthread method, you will have to pass the local.rac_radio variable along with it, or make it a global (level) variable.

main:

//*** Sounds
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache rac_radio1 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio1.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
local.master aliascache rac_radio2 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio2.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"

local.rac_radio = spawn script_model
local.rac_radio model "static/phonograph.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.rac_radio.origin = ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radio.angles = ( 0 270 0 )
local.rac_radio.scale = 1

local.rac_radiotrigger = spawn trigger_use origin ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radiotrigger setsize ( -30 -30 0 ) ( 30 30 60 )
local.rac_radiotrigger setthread favourite_song local.rac_radio
local.rac_radiotrigger message "Achieved: Your Favourite Song"

end

favourite_song local.rac_radio:


local.player = parm.other
local.rac_radiotrigger = self


local.random = randomint(2)

switch (local.random)
{
    case 0:
    local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio1
    break

    case 1:
    local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio2
    break

    // etc. etc.

}
local.rac_radiotrigger notTriggerable
wait 20
local.rac_radiotrigger triggerable

end

Or you can use it in one thread and with a while loop

main:

//*** Sounds
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache rac_radio1 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio1.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
local.master aliascache rac_radio2 sounds/rac_radio/rac_radio2.wav soundparms 5.0 0.0 0.8 0.4 160 3000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"

local.rac_radio = spawn script_model
local.rac_radio model "static/phonograph.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.rac_radio.origin = ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radio.angles = ( 0 270 0 )
local.rac_radio.scale = 1

local.rac_radiotrigger = spawn trigger_use origin ( 2237 4467 -140 )
local.rac_radiotrigger setsize ( -30 -30 0 ) ( 30 30 60 )


while(1)
{

    local.rac_radiotrigger waittill trigger
    local.rac_radiotrigger notTriggerable

    local.player = parm.other
    local.player iprintln "Achieved: Your Favourite Song"

    local.random = randomint(2)

    switch (local.random)
    {
        case 0:
        local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio1
        break

        case 1:
        local.rac_radio playsound rac_radio2
        break

        // etc. etc.

    }
    wait 20
    local.rac_radiotrigger triggerable
}

end

Each method should work, comes down to personal preference. Using the setthread method is best for multiple triggers that do the same thing, ie play a sound. But if only one trigger, while loop method tends to keep it abit more organised in the one thread.

Ahh....Purple points me in the right direction, once again.

Thank you, sir. The set_method didnt work - audio just wouldnt play no matter what I did, but the while loop definitely did.

I now have a few 15-20sec clips that play at random on the radio trigger, but I notice they all randomly play at different speeds every time I trigger them. Sometimes regular, sometimes sped up, sometimes slow-mo style. It's tolerable, but I presume this is related to server-load at that point of time and cannot be avoided?...hmmm.
