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?

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.

      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)?
