What do entity Sound 1 and Sound 0 do?

I've tried adding a sound to a rocking boat, but it's not working. How do I use Sound 1 and Sound 0?

If you have a sound file called, for example, rockingboat.ogg, place it in the audiobank>misc folder. In the FPE file, add the following code -
;Sound
soundset = audiobank\misc\rockingboat.ogg
It doesn't have to the audiobank>misc folder, as long as the path in the FPE file matches the file location. You can also set the sound path in the properties panel.
Then you'll need to do some scripting to play the sound, using PlaySound(e,0) or LoopSound(e,0)

What does sound 1 in the properties panel do? Is Sound 0 in the properties panel, LoopSound?

Look at the animated door and script. that is what sound 0 and sound 1 are for.

It allows for two sounds to be used. IE: open door sound, and close door sound.

I guess that's why some things have 2 sound sets and others have only one. Open and close.

Where can I get a list of what the Properties commands do? I think I read that Sound0 is for loops, but I don't know for sure. Does Sound1 do something else too? Some of the sounds have issues and it's hard to tell what is doing what.

It is unfortunate we are limited to only two sounds per entity. I don't recall this limitation in FPSCx9.

Do entities have to be interacted with to play their assigned sound?

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a rocking boat on a table that is seemingly being painted by an NPC, I want it to sound like work is going on there, such as painting. So, I assigned two sounds to the boat, but neither sound is working.

I've shot the boat and neither sound, sound off (activate). I've assigned sounds to both of them at the same time, I've assigned one sound to Sound0 only, tried it again, it didn't work, then assigned only one sound to Sound1 and it didn't make a sound.

I know I can create a sound zone to handle one sound, but I'm trying to utilize that for other things in the area and be efficient by just adding the sound/s to the boat.

You've to attach script to entity via properties panel and/or via fpe file, so if you've script named "default.lua", it looks like you state above:

Quote: ";ai
aimain = default.lua"


But in order it works, entity should be dynamic:

Quote: "defaultstatic = 0"

I set the "defaultstatic = 0", applied the script to the boat and am getting no sound from it.

I don't know if I put the file in the right place or not. When I click on AI System Main properties, the file isn't located in the script bank. Should it be there in order for it to work? Right now it's located in a different file location inside GG.

Or does it have to be scripted with the PlaySound script, instead of soundset?



Thanks for the help by the way, I'm about as green as they come at the moment.

they dont go in the fpe, but in the lua file.

create a file called
boatsound.lua
in your scriptbank folder and give it this



then set your boat dynamic (static = no) and give it your sound at slot 1 and the above script in it's ai main setting
*if the sound is too soon or late then change the 500 lower or higher (respectively)*

Weirdest thing--I was just coming here to notify anyone watching that that was the problem. I was working in the FPE file. Face palm!

Thank you very much for posting how to create the boatsound.lua file smallg, that was the very next thing I was going to ask how to do.

I'll post the results later after dinner, but I'm sure it will work.

Ya know smallg helps so many people in this forum with scripting whether its simple or complicated stuff ......I vote he gets a flag of Member of the Year on his account.

He honestly deserves this imo.

Definitely something, that code right there--plays a huge role in what I'm trying to accomplish. And, the time it saved me learning how to do it, was probably another 6 videos of instruction.

Acid too, they wrote a couple of scripts for me that are going to have a huge impact on my games gameplay.

And there are many others that have been nothing but patient and helpful.

But yeah, I definitely owe smallg for that one. smallg has nothing in the store to buy, so they have a place in all my videogame credits for a long time to come.

Yeah, it's pretty cool too. Added it just as I mentioned, and made one NPC almost un-killable to make it almost believable they were working on the boat, the animation isn't the way I want it, I have her doin' the butterfly thing )) I'll use it for a lot of stuff though.

You help a lot too Teabone. I'm only getting started and still feeling things out. I'm sure I'm gonna be adding a lot of folks to the credits list and buying things from them over time.

It's hard to keep track of things right now, but I'll make it right in the end. I'm writing names and acts down. But if someone slips through the cracks for whatever reason--I don't have a problem being called onto the carpet for it, and I'll fix it.
