Speaker using vis_leafgroups - tltrude tut

[Hell_Soldier]

i made a speaker inside a building and covered everything else with vis_leafgroup.

when i load the map the speaker doesnt work, but if i type 'restart' in console it starts working.

so what i am asking is why does the speaker only starts working after a restart?

[tltrude]

I have seen this before, and I think it is a bug in the game. Try adding a delay before the sound begins playing.

level waittill prespawn

Thread start_sounds

end

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

start_sounds:

wait 1
$myspeaker loopsound soundname

end

i copied the start_sounds thread from the tutorial readme and it alreayd includes the 'wait 1' command.

maybe i need a ubersound file like in the ubersound workaround tut?

Maybe starting the sound after level waittill spawn will work.

Are you sure you have the vis_leafgroups correct? They must be correct if it works on restart. You can also try increasing the wait time in the thread.

This is for Mohaa and not spearhead, right?

[Hell_Soldier]

the things u suggested didnt worked, even tried taking off the 'wait' command.

its Spearhead, not Mohaa.

by the way, do u know any radio entities i can use?

[tltrude]

Try it in mohaa and see if you still have the problem. The ubersound work around has always had problems in Spearhead. You will have to make a custom ubersound script like the one Spearhead uses. I can't help with that because I don't have SH installed, but it has been discussed in the forum before.

Static > Decor > Radio Civilian


Btw, You can also pick a sound alias that works, in multiplayer--without a work around. Although in your case, YOu might want to find one in the spearhead ubersound script.

[Hell_Soldier]

ok i fixed the problem.

heres the ubersound code i used:

Code: Select all

//
//UBERSOUND file

settiki none

aliascache team_snd sound/music/Amb_team1.mp3 soundparms 3.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 600 10000 auto loaded maps "dm moh obj train"
aliascache zero_snd sound/music/Amb_zero1.mp3 soundparms 3.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 600 10000 auto loaded maps "dm moh obj train"

end

thx for all the help
