Custom noice making things

Would it be possible to make my own things to give off a noise to alert nearby npcs? For example,

 

In one of my maps, I'd put a bunch of wine bottles around the ground, and when you step on them, you knock them over, maybe break a few, and this makes a loud noise and the npc will come hither to inspect.

Basically, if you manage to make the bottles emit a sound when they are broken (I'm not sure this is implemented yet), the sound propagation system will take care of the rest.

 

Each sound shader can even have separate "virtual" sound prop settings, where you can set the volume as heard by the AI, so you can set that particular sound to be extra suspicious (for the AI only, the actual player-hearable sound stays the same).

 

So, do the bottles already emit a sound when you knock them over and break them?

in TD release, the wine bottle wouldn't break. They only break when hit with an arrow.

 

In the current code, they break from too much force, but I don't think they make a sound (yet).

 

Edit: Do we have a sound-fx for "breaking glass bottle" yet?

So I should wait for Beta than?

If you are serious about mapping with TDM, you could also apply for betamapper status. This way you could work with the full resources, and get to play with always the latest code.

 

(Although this can be an advantage, it can also be a disadvantage - the current code changes rather often and so sometimes things break :)

Yes, it's called material_glass_destroyed.

 

Ah, thanx, I'll check it out once I get better.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
