Adding sound to picked up items

[Imchasinyou]

It would be great if some one could show me how to add sound to the medpack script. Ive tried alot of different things and at this point, Im lost. . . .

 

Script.healthpoints=15 --float "Health Points"

function Script:Use(person)
if person.entity.script.health>0 then
person.entity.script.health= person.entity.script.health + self.healthpoints
if person.entity.script.health>person.entity.script.maxHealth then
person.entity.script.health=person.entity.script.maxHealth
end
end
end

 

Learning is confusing me . . . .

[josk]

Script.healthpoints=15 --float "Health Points"

function Script:Start()
   local sound = Sound:Load("Sound/Player/pickupammo.wav")
   self.source = Source:Create()
   self.source:SetSound(sound)
end

function Script:Use(person)
if person.entity.script.health>0 then
person.entity.script.health= person.entity.script.health + self.healthpoints

self.source:Play()

if person.entity.script.health>person.entity.script.maxHealth then
person.entity.script.health=person.entity.script.maxHealth
end
end
end

 

Not seen the medpack script but the following should work.

Add the code to Script:Start and to play the sound use self.source:Play().

Thanks Josk. I had tried and tried but wasnt gettign anywhere but errors. I was trying everything I found in the documentation but wasnt getting very far. Thanks again. Now on to other problems

[BluHornet]

Script.HealthEnabled = true

Script.health = 25 --int "Health Value"

Script.PickupSoundPath = "" --path "Sound" "Wav File (*wav):wav|Sound"

Script.PickupSound = nil

function Script:Start()

self.PickupSound = Sound:Load(self.PickupSoundPath)

end

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

if (entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "Player") then

if self.HealthEnabled == true then

if entity.script.health < entity.script.maxHealth then

entity.script:ReceiveHealth(self.health)

self.entity:EmitSound(self.PickupSound)

self.HealthEnabled = false

self.entity:Hide()

end

end

end

end

 

This is my Health Pick up script. Don't forget once you add the script to your entity to add the sound file to the script in the editor.

Here is what I use. . . .

 

Script.healthpoints=15 --float "Health Points"
function Script:Start()
 local sound = Sound:Load("Sound/Player/pickupammo.wav")
 self.source = Source:Create()
 self.source:SetSound(sound)
end
function Script:Use(person)
if person.entity.script.health>0 then
person.entity.script.health= person.entity.script.health + self.healthpoints
self.source:Play()
if person.entity.script.health>person.entity.script.maxHealth then
person.entity.script.health=person.entity.script.maxHealth
end
end
end

 

Very small, very clean and simple. Most of all, it works and is reusable. Id like to either make it single use or timer based. But until i can figure that out, Ill use this.

 

Same as yours, you must reassign the sound that you want to use.

[BluHornet]

Yeah I left the sound file because I want to mod it later to be health and/or ammo one script for both just change the type and sound. But after I got the code wrote I wrote a ammo pick up forgetting this planned feature. I am still new so I fly by the seat a little too much. what is cool Is we have 2 different codes to answer the same problem. It makes the game feel like mine, ya know.

 

if you want it to be single use it is easy to fix.

 

 

Script.healthpoints=15 --float "Health Points"

function Script:Start()

local sound = Sound:Load("Sound/Player/pickupammo.wav")

self.source = Source:Create()

self.source:SetSound(sound)

end

function Script:Use(person)

if person.entity.script.health>0 then

person.entity.script.health= person.entity.script.health + self.healthpoints

self.source:Play()

self.entity:Release()

if person.entity.script.health>person.entity.script.maxHealth then

person.entity.script.health=person.entity.script.maxHealth

end

end

end

[BluHornet]

adding a line

self.entity:Release()

Removes the object the script is attachd to just be sure that you release it at a time you are done with it.

If you do not like deleting it you can do the enable variable like I did and then hide it.

I made a quick tutorial video on how to make the pickup timed here

[BluHornet]

I just watched the video and now see the resolution is shot. The file I uploaded was fine... well anyway here is the code too.

 

Script.healthpoints=15 --float "Health Points"

Script.HealTimer = 0

function Script:Start()

local sound = Sound:Load("Sound/Player/pickupammo.wav")

self.source = Source:Create()

self.source:SetSound(sound)

end

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

self.HealTimer = self.HealTimer + 1

System:Print(self.HealTimer)

if self.HealTimer < 450 then

self.entity:Hide()

else

self.entity:Show()

end

end

 

function Script:Use(person)

if person.entity.script.health>0 then

if self.HealTimer > 500 then

person.entity.script.health= person.entity.script.health + self.healthpoints

self.source:Play()

self.HealTimer = 0

end

if person.entity.script.health>person.entity.script.maxHealth then

person.entity.script.health=person.entity.script.maxHealth

end

end

end

I totally understand how you feel. Im just glad to see more ppl willing to post little things like this that just might help some one. YES, you can learn this way. Its frustrating to see a reply like, go look at the documentation when some one cant make heads or tails of it. . . .

 

Ill try and release the script after the pick up is made and see what happens.

 

BTW, if you recorded in a higher resolution, it very well might just take a few minutes to be available in HD. Mine do.
