Player movement sounds.

Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm working on a few extra player movement sounds as an experiment in my next FM.

 

A couple questions:

  • Is there any way to add a player jump sound for when the player begins the jump?
  • It looks like there is some setup for a player swimming sound, but it only seems to do exit/ enter splash sounds. Is this broken/ known issue? Is there anyway to hotfix this?
  • Is there a setup for playing a sound when the player is moving above a certain speed? Likely a script that says play sound shader when player velocity is above a certain value. Think of a wind rushing sound..
  • Lastly, is there a way to fade in and out a sounds using scripts? Something like adjust volume over time.

Regarding the last point, yes, there is such a script command: fadeSound(...) see tdm script reference in the wiki.

Awesome, found it.

 

scriptEvent void fadeSound(float channel, float newLevel, float fadeTime);

 

I imagine something like this would work.

void sound_event () {
   sys.trigger ( $mySpeaker)
   sys.wait (5);

   $mySpeaker.fadeSound (SND_CHANNEL_??, -15 , 5) //Not sure which sound channel to use
   sys.wait (5):
   $mySpeaker.stopSound (SND_CHANNEL_??) //Not sure which sound channel to use
}

Is it possible to fade all the sounds the player is hearing?

I'm not sure if I should be calling the player here or just any speaker.

void fadePlayerSound () {
     &player1.fadeSound(SND_CHANNEL_ALL, -15, 5)
     sys.wait(2)

     $player1.fadeSound(SND_CHANNEL_ALL, 0 , 1) // fades back to normal?
}

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
