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
}

Hows this?
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 waittill trigger
$speaker loopsound train_whistle
wait 1
$alarmtrigger waittill trigger
$speaker stoploopsound
goto alarmthread
end

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:

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

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.

is there anyway you can send or post a link to the pk3,or the .map file and .scr file.
i can look at it fix it and send it back

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?
