hi guys i wnat to put in my map the sound of the wind int he trees form remagen and the cricket sounds crom mohaa i looked in the gane and found this scr

// REMAGEN
// ARCHITECTURE: STAGGER
// SCRIPTING: POWZER

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Remagen"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "mohdm3"

// call additional stuff for playing this map round based is needed
if(level.roundbased)
thread roundbasedthread

level waittill prespawn

//*** Precache Dm Stuff
exec global/DMprecache.scr

level.script = maps/dm/mohdm3.scr
exec global/ambient.scr mohdm3

thread global/door_locked.scr::lock

level waittill spawn

end

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

roundbasedthread:

// Can specify different scoreboard messages for round based games here.

level waitTill prespawn

level waittill spawn

// set the parameters for this round based match
level.dmrespawning = 0 // 1 or 0
level.dmroundlimit = 5 // round time limit in minutes
level.clockside = kills // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw

level waittill roundstart

end

now the crickets are in one of the single player maps i think i looked in the ambience file ...the only plave i could find any reference and found this

//
// global ambience script
// used for easy placement of ambient sounds

ambience:
if(level.script == "maps/dm/mohdm1.scr")
{
thread sound ( -56 -840 16 ) cricket
thread sound ( 582 2551 420 ) cricket
}
if(level.script == "maps/dm/mohdm2.scr")
{
thread sound ( -3452 -2640 64 ) wind_trees3
}
if(level.script == "maps/dm/mohdm3.scr")
{
thread sound ( 2839 -618 -87 ) wind_trees4
}

can someone tell me how to add the cricket and tree wind sounds?

thank you

look in the ambient sound files? try using loopsound so that they go on and on...

can someone tell me how to add the cricket and tree wind sounds?

thank you

//add this to your main thread
thread my_crickets

//then after all your main thread
my_crickets:
//the way they've done it
sound local.origin local.sound:
local.soundorigin = spawn script_model model "fx/dummy.tik"
local.soundorigin.origin = local.origin
local.soundorigin loopsound local.sound
local.soundorigin notsolid
end
//meaning that
thread sound ( 2839 -618 -87 ) wind_trees4
//will spawn a object that won't be seen (the dummy.tik) at the position given (using XYZ co-ordinates)
//then from that point playing and looping the sound
//the dummy is then made notsolid so it's passable

//or alternatively you could just,
/*
1. give your desired trees (the ones that'll play the wind sound
key: targetname
value: wind_tree_sound

2. insert a dummy model where you want to hear the cricket sounds from; or this can be a brush if you like, and make it a script object, and give it
key: targetname
value: cricket_sound

3. then the scripting...
*/
main:
thread my_tree_sounds
thread my_cricket_sounds
end

my_tree_sounds:
$wind_tree_sound loopsound wind_trees3
end

my_cricket_sounds:
$cricket_sound hide
$cricket_sound notsolid
$cricket_sound loopsound cricket
end

then hey presto, it might work

ahhhh ty nuggets i had someone help me online yesterday and explained it just theway you did ........go it lol ....bu ti must say your way of explaining this was great thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Tue Apr 22, 2003 11:23 pm

not a problem

solar · Post by **solar** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 4:16 pm

Hey nuggets, when you do the wind and cricket sound the second way you described, are they location specific or will they play through the entire map??

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 12:38 am

the sounds won't play thro the entire map unless u put them in under ubersound

otherwise u can get them to play if you attach the second piece of script tp all the entities that need it,

sounds need a location 2 play from else they won't play at all, just place the souds onto entites that will be near where u want the sounds from

solar · Post by **solar** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 2:47 pm

so let me see if I can get this straight. the red part of the scripting is all we need??? What is the range of these sounds??? This seems so easy I can't believe there isn't a tut out on this method.

nuggets · Post by **nuggets** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 11:56 pm

range i'm not exactly sure about, i should really write some tut's but every1 else seems 2 b doing that at the moment,

yarik will probably read this and write it in a tutorial, most things with radiant are easy to do, it's just being able 2 understand the ways of doin it

u'll need to do the cyan part of the notes aswell

Yarik if you read this, no offense meant, i just know u like writing tut's 4 people
