Changing the door sound

[hogleg]

I built a elevator using the door function and when I set its parameters I clicked on sound and told it to use the idletank sound but it does not work.

I keep getting the wood door sound. What am I doing or not doing wrong?

Thx

To use that sound, you would have to script the door, I believe.

The types that are available in the entity window are wood, metal, and rusted metal....(and I think "garage" but I am not sure.)

By default, a func_door or func_rotatingdoor sound is wood.

Other than those sounds, you would have to script it.

Thx, I'll look that up now.

You can change it right in the door's properties. I would suggest using these for an elevator.

Key: sound_open_start
Value: lighthouse_run

Key: sound_close_start
Value: lighthouse_run

Key: doortype
Value: metal

There is no sound alias name called "idletank" in the ubersound script. Do not use the "sound" button in the entity window.

So you mean I have been scripting doors just for sounds for nothing all this time?

Oh boy......

Thanks tltrude.

[hogleg]

YEAH, that's the sound I wanted.

Thx Tlrude

The discriptions of door options are in the code folder of the entdefs.pk3. But Scorpio Midget rewrote those files and he add a lot of options that were left out of the original.

sound_open_end
sound_close_end

You can find his modified entdefs.pk3 right here:

Gees, the link is busted over at the TMT forum. Oh well, if you want it just e-mail me Crunch.
