Triggering a .wav

[7H3V1RU5]

Hey everyone. Here again. With another questions. I'm sure not the last time.

 

I started with Qbasic and am slowly learning c++ and .lua.

 

I was wondering if anyone had a script where;

 

player touch-->call .wav file

 

(I know this is probably the most basic way of saying it, so I hope you all can understand my request.)

Easiest way to do this is lua.

 

self.sound = Sound:Load("Sound/Player/Footsteps/concrete1.wav")
function Script:PlaySound()--in
  self.sound:Play()
end

 

You can use the Flowgraph or have a trigger that emits the sound on Collision.

Leadwerks already comes with the necessary scripts:

 

CollisionTrigger.lua -> attach this to your trigger brush

Noise.lua -> attach this to a pivot - your sound source location on the map

 

Set Playing to false in Noise script and do a Flowgraph link between Trigger brush's Collision() function and Noise script's Play() function.

Works great!!!!

 

Now I want to make it to where it only plays that .wav file on the first collision. Is there a code for -stop after play=1? And not sure how to make it only play the sound once.

To play a sound once you can set a flag outside of your main loop. In c++ it could be

 

bool soundplayed = false;

 

Then in main loop put if (soundplayed == false)

{

mysound->Play();

soundplayed = true;

}
