sounds

[venom7]

ok i am trying to put a thing into my map so that when a player types"-sound" a random sound from a list of sounds i have is played. there are about 30 sounds and i just want it to play one random sound every time someone types "-sound"

please help me out with this,

thanks

Event
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -sound as An exact match
Conditions-none
Action-Sound - Set the music list to Music, starting with a random song

I think that should work, I have not been taught how to use this, but I'm smart and catch on fast. Hope it works, tell me if not.

no that did not work, and besides hwo would it know what to play?

maybe darg will be kind enough to answer this question for you Venom7

you have to store all the sounds into a sound array variable.

So make a trigger with the event "map initialisation". Then do something like:

actions:

set Sounds[0] = <sound1> <= pick from the list of imported sounds
set Sounds[1] = <sound2>
set Sounds[2] = <sound3>

etc.

do that for all your sounds (it will take a while I know).

And in that trigger you wrote, do this action instead:

[sound - play music]
play Sounds[Random number between 1 and 30]

where Sounds[] is your sound array variable, and the random number thing is just the math - random number function. You can access it by clicking on that parameter inside the brackets there.

hmmmm, isnt working....

Ok here is what I have

set sound list
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Sounds[0] = AbominationPissed6 <gen>
        Set Sounds[1] = AcolytePissed3 <gen>
        Set Sounds[2] = AcolytePissed8 <gen>
        Set Sounds[3] = ArcherPissed2 <gen>

... all the way to 49

when i put the play random sound action in WITH this trigger it didnt work, so i made a different trigger that looks like this

Play Sound
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -play as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Sound - Play Sounds[(Random integer number between 0 and 49)]

although this still didnt work, please help me out.

the trigger is good, the problem is that the sounds are all 3d sounds by default, double-click on them in the right pane in the sound editor, and uncheck 3d sound.
