Sound Help

[DM Cross]

Never done sound stuff before...

Basically, this is more of a "fun" trigger.

I want to make it so that when a player types in a specified chat message, it places 1 little quote from a list of them (an array).

Now, I know the Event, but I can't seem to set Sounds to an array, or at least, not the ones I want. Can anyone help me out a bit?

 

[Husky]

For mine i just used:

          Events
             A player types -music1 as an exact match
          Conditions
          Actions
             Play ArthasTheme

Just when you goto the sound editor, remeber to do: Use as Music/Sound

But if your determined to use your Array trigger, than ignore this.

[DM Cross]

Ah, ok, already working on it Thanks, I was just missing the Use as Sound/Music part

+Rep for you, husky

 

[Husky]

No prob, 3 rep bars now (dont really care though).

Damn, doesn't work...

SetVoice

Voice
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Speak as An exact match
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing Speak as An exact match
    Conditions
        ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to Alexander) or ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to AlexanderStinda)
    Actions
        Sound - Play Voice[(Random integer number between 1 and 20)]

I was playing with my Single Player name of Alexander, so it shouldn't be the Condition. All the sounds are set to a variable... I was Player 1 (Red)

Why doesn't it work?

Also, if I just Play Music at Map Init, will it play and then stop, or start over?

If it just stops, how do I loop it?

 

[Husky]

Did you try it without the Condition? Try that first (just incase).
-Husky

 

[DM Cross]

Deleted the Condition and hit Test Map, but still doesn't Speak

 

[Husky]

Ahh, I think i know now. In your Sound Init, take a way, Map Initilization and make it: Elapsed Time is 1 second.
-Husky

 

[DM Cross]

Just tested it, both WITH and WITHOUT the String condition and no luck

By the way, do you know the answer to that other question? Do I have to Loop music, or will it just keep playing with Play <Theme>?

 

[Husky]

No, you dont need a Loop, it loops itself until you stop it.'

For the other part. I was saying, make your trigger look like this:

SetVoice
    Events
        Elasped Time is 1 second
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Voice[1] = AcolytePissed3 <gen>
        Set Voice[2] = AcolytePissed5 <gen>
        Set Voice[3] = AcolytePissed7 <gen>
        Set Voice[4] = AcolytePissed8 <gen>
        etc...

Try that,

        Set Voice[19] = VarimathrasPissed8 <gen>
        Set Voice[20] = IllidanPissed7 <gen>

That's what I did

And thank you for the Music answer

 

[Husky]

So did it work?

 

[DM Cross]

Just tested it, both WITH and WITHOUT the String condition and no luck

 

[AceHart]

Warning, wild guess ahead:

Aren't there two different "sound" actions?
One for sound and one for music, and, only the music one "works"?

 

[DM Cross]

But the sayings from the sound sets can only be used as sounds -.- ...

I think...

 

[DM Cross]

Got it!

I had to go to all 20 sound variable and change one of the properties from Sound to Music, like Ace gave me the idea of doing

Thank you Husky, for your help, and Ace for yours!

Just read the caption at the bottom of that action. It says, "Sounds cannot be played at map initialization. Use the Sound Editor to create sound variables. Note that a 3D sound must be positioned to be played." So you cant use "Sound - Play Sound" actions you have to use the "Sound - Play Sound At Point" or "Sound - Play Sound On Unit" action if you're going to be using those 3D sounds.

edit: Ok your way works too, would have been easier to just use the right action, though.

 

[DM Cross]

The Sounds weren't played at Map Init. They never were.

The only thing Map Init did at all was Set the Voices variable.

The Sounds played when I typed something in, not at times.

My Event was right, thank you.

did you even read what i said? i didnt say you cant play them at map initialization, i said 3D sounds have to be positioned to play. and i didnt say your event was wrong, i said your action was wrong. you dont have to mess with the sounds at all if you use the right action.

 

[DM Cross]

They're not 3D Sounds.

I wasn't trying to play them at Map Init, so I have no idea where you pulled that from.

Obviously my action is right if it works

Thank you Ace and Husky for your help.
