I created a "spawnthing" scriptlet in lua.



Everything works cool, except the PlaySound(e,0) part (see code below);



I right-clicked on my object to spawn (in this case, the stack of cinderblocks ) and in the object inspector, I set:



Main = spawnthing.lua

Spawn At Start? = No

Sound0 and Sound1 are set.



I tried PlaySound(e,0) and PlaySound(e,1) to no avail.



Am I missing something dumb?

try moving outside of the range and the sound will play

basically the standard PlaySound command has no "is playing?" check so it just constantly tries to play (thus it'll never actually play as it's stuck at the start)



change your code to

sorry to hijack your thread, but, could one of you help me amend this script to spawn an entity when the player is in a trigger zone?



Cheers

I really would because I really want to get back into learning lua but for about a week i have no main pc so I'm sorry but I can't help here, I tried downloading reloaded to my old laptop but its painfully slow, hopefully I can get back to making free scripts next week but , if your still after anything then let me know and I'll see if I can do it.



I'm also working on making all my scripts heavily commented to make them very simple to know what each and every line does so if you want a copy of them let me know, I got halfway through doing my hunger and thirst script before getting called away and I'll do a more advanced one next week.

It's simple to spawn an entity when the player is in a storyzone, make a check to see if the player is in it or not then use the SpawnEntity LUA command to do that. Also, make sure said entity has the option Spawn at start? UNchecked.



Also, looking forward to that hunger/thirst script.
