Hi guys, been trying to find a way of getting the sound to play before the explosion goes off - i followed another thread on the subject but it branched off into something else - anyone help here ...


{
local.random = randomint($random_exploder.size)+1
$random_exploder[local.random] playsound (arty_leadinmp5)
waitframe
exec global/model.scr $random_exploder[local.random].origin
radiusdamage $random_exploder[local.random].origin 100 500
wait 16,23
}

at the moment its exploding with the sound of artillery at the same time - needs a 2 sec delay before the explosion.


Cobra

Change "waitframe" to "wait 2".

Does "wait 16,23" work as a ramdom wiat time? Normally it is like this:

wait (randomfloat 16 + 23)

I tried changing the waitframe - to wait 2 etc last night - it just delays the artillery longer and sounds worse - need to slow the explosions happening by 2 seconds

Yeh the random wait time 16,23 works fine for me.

ive tried all sorts of combinations to get the artillery sound in first but the explosion happens first and sounds real naff

Help

Cobra

Here is a tutorial map that might help.

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/tltrude/Temp ... l_fire.zip

Cheers for that m8, ive applied some of it and i get an error in console -
(in my map)..

script error - cannot cast NULL to vector
script error command applied to NULL listener
and a lot of similar messages

any way of gettin summat similar to work with this...

random_explosions:

anything you can recommend for the random_explosions bit?

Cobra

If you look closely you'll see there are two entities for every explosion spot. A script_origin to cause damage to players, and an explosion entity below that. The tank has a third entity for smoke. So, if your are copying, be sure to get them all.

For your leadin sounds, you don't need to have all those local.master lines. You can change the alias names to anything you like. If they all have the same name, but end with a number, the game will pick from them randomly--if you use the name without a number.


If you are spawning everything, here is a neat trick.

level waittill spawn

thread random_explosions ( 396 -1031 -36) 16 23 // location and random times
thread random_explosions ( -1385 -1042 -111) 8 14
thread random_explosions ( -447 -2150 -45) 10 18

end

random_explosions local.location local.wait1 local.wait2:

wait (randomfloat local.wait1 + local.wait2)
local.hurt = spawn script_origin
local.hurt.origin = local.location + ( 0 0 64 ) // raise it up 4 feet
local.explosion = spawn script_model
local.explosion model models/animate/fx_mortar_dirt.tik
local.explosion.origin = local.location + ( 0 0 -16 ) // lower it one foot
local.hurt playsound leadinmp
wait 1
local.explosion anim start // has it own sound
radiusdamage local.hurt 256 384
wait 4
local.explosion remove
local.hurt remove
thread random_explosions local.location local.wait1 local.wait2

end

So, all you need do is to add more lines under spawn for more explosions. But, I think you have way to many--might lag the game.

good luck! Hope it works!

Hey thanks for all that tom, ive tried it but i dont get anything, heres the renewed script - im quite new to scripting but see if you see anything obvious that shouldnt be there...

ps thanks for taking the time m8
pps with the settings there as is i lose the fog in the game also

Cobra

Script looks ok, if you are just going with the stuff from the tutorial. What do you mean by "...I dont get anything."? Does not work, or you just don't understand it?

I thought it was quite clever because there is only one thread and as many explosions as you want.

Sorry m8 - my typing - i meant i got nothing to work on map - yes it is clever m8, your a lot more advanced than me at it

(Ive only been scripting 3 weeks)

Thanks m8 ill give that try

(u on msn)?

Thanks for all your help Tom, much appreciated

Ps your map Gotterdammerung is very nice, textures look amazing, i like the hidden doors can have some fun in there nice job guys.
