I have been looking at the ai scripts, trying to figure this out. I would like to make my characters make noises when they are hurt and when they die. I am not sure how to go about it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

In theory you simply choose a sound set for the character, in the sound set there are sound samples for different events, look in audiobank\character\male for example.

OK. Thanks. I'll try.

I can't seem to get the soundset field to do anything. Do I also need to use the sound1, 2, 3,...?

It might also rely on the AI scripts to be compatible, which AI scripts are you using?

ai_solder.lua

Aha, seems that when Lee re-did the ai scripts he changed the sound handling as well. The ai now uses sound slots 3 & 4 for the 'hurt' sound, basically it just chooses one at random.

There isn't a death sound though.

According to the script this is the sound mapping:
-- sound0 : Start moving A
-- sound1 : Start strike
-- sound2 : Start moving B
-- sound3 : Get hurt A
-- sound4 : Get hurt B

OK, thanks. Shame the death sound bit was removed. I wonder if there's any way to reinstate it.

Sure. Individual script attached to any always active object when
your selected characters die. (health <1) play sound

I couldn't even find ai_solder.lua anywhere, but you can look there
to see how the sounds are triggered.

ai_soldier.lua should be in your scriptbank.

It uses the ai/module_combatcore.lua 'module' so in the top of that script you will find all the animations and sounds listed.

I'll look into the soundset stuff and see if I can figure out if it still works.

Ok, so the soundset system does work:


The attached script simply plays a random soundset entry when you approach and resets when you walk away.
Demonstrates in as simple a way as I can think of how soundsets work.

By default GG loads the 'soldier' soundset, I'm not sure why Lee stopped using this system in the ai modules but it shouldn't be too hard to put it back in.

Like this?

Thanks all. That should give me everything I need to get it working,

These will help.
