What train_whistle??? Apart from that, looks OK.

<EDIT>I don't like this 'nested' thread loop. Try a while loop instead:

Code: Select all

alarmthread:
while(1) {
   $alarmtrigger waittill trigger
   $speaker loopsound alarm
   $alarmtrigger waittill trigger
   $speaker stoploopsound
end
}

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

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""

level waittill prespawn

thread alarmthread

exec global/DMprecache.scr
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache train_whistle sound/mechanics/Mec_Alarm_03.wav soundparms 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 1024 6000 auto loaded

It should be:

Code: Select all

local.master aliascache alarm sound/mechanics/Mec_Alarm_03.wav soundparms 1.0 0.0 1.0
and you can change it back to:

Code: Select all

$speaker loopsound alarm

your missing this line.put it after waittill prespawn

level.script = maps/dm/mapname.scr

make sure your .scr and the .bsp(mapname)are the same

like

level.script = maps/dm/mymap.scr

and when u save your map,save it as mymap

so the BSP and the SCR are named the same :wink:

level.script is sorta not needed, i think. if it's reading the script it knows where it is.

check your paths and make sure they are correct.
like make sure the .scr is in the maps/dm folder(if TDM)

Code: Select all

// mymap
// ARCHITECTURE:
// SCRIPTING:

main:

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

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" ""

level waittill prespawn

thread alarmthread

exec global/DMprecache.scr
local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache train_whistle sound/mechanics/Mec_Alarm_03.wav soundparms 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 1024 6000 auto loaded
maps "m dm moh obj "


level waittill spawn

end

alarmthread:

$alarmtrigger triggerable
$alarmtrigger waittill trigger
$speaker anim start//or turn
$speaker loopsound train_whistle
$alarmtrigger nottriggerable
wait 1
goto alarm_off

end

alarm_off:

$alarmtrigger triggerable
$alarmtrigger waittill trigger
$speaker anim stop//or off
$speaker stoploopsound
$alarmtrigger nottriggerable
wait 1
goto alarmthread

end
this is what worked for me,but i still couldnt get the switch to flip up and down,but it did make a sound.

make sure your speaker is a script_object.
to do this,drag out a brush,just a small square.
right click on it,and go to script>object.
next hit N on keyboard and type in the
key model
value static/alarmbell.tik
give it the targetname of speaker,and you should be all set.

to solve this, it might be faster to pack the whole stuff (map, bsp, scr) into a pk3 and give us a link?! :)

well it doesnt animate because there's no line in it to tell it to.

you know, go here. its the tut to do alarms. it's for SP so you can cut out the SP parts pretty much.

Hi,

Has anyone else tested your map? Can they hear the sounds? I had the same problem once in my map, I couldn`t hear explosions but everyone else could. I still don`t know where the problem was?
