Weapon Audio - Looping vs. playback per shot

#1 StateSound[3] = ChaingunSpinupSound;
seems to be what controlls it. im just doing a quick look at the weapon scripts i misght do some digging latuh

#2 This can be done. You just need to make the audioblock for the firing sound be looping.

#3 Michael Cozzolino

That would just loop the sound no matter if you let the trigger go or not, no? If you can, get into more detail about this - I'm too very interested :)

And btw, your "different explosion on hit" does not work anymore for some strange reason. Good resource though.

Edit: Spelling of MichAel, not Michail.. :P

#4 //Fire sound audio block

datablock AudioProfile(WeaponDryFireSound)
{
filename = "~/data/sound/assault_sfx.wav";
//description = AudioClose3d;
description = AudioDefaultLooping3d;
//description = AudioDefault3d;
preload = true;
};


//Firing state

stateName[2] = "NoAmmo";
stateTransitionOnAmmo[2] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTriggerDown[2] = "DryFire";


notice "state TransitionOnTriggerDown" only plays the looping sound while the weapon is firing.


BTW I didn't know it no longer works. Seems weird. I have only been playing around with the Head and 1.2 versions. Currently I'm adding my content to those versions. I will look into it at the first moment I have a chance. I suggest requesting an e-mail to that resource when their is a new post so I can post a fix or atleast a status report so you will know.

#5 Thanks Michael. I cant wait to try this out.

#6 Michael Cozzolino

Are you sure that's how it's done in Tribes2? I thought it was a long sound file that ran until you "de-pressed" the button?

#7 I believe thats how it was done. It has been a while since I had T2 installed.

It is one small sound that loops until you depress the button.

I believe the spinup of the chaingun was the same way and it would loop during the spinup time you designated then would change over to the firing loop during fire.

#8 Thanks micheal. i actually couldnt get the looping script to work but i found that if i use a shorter soundclip i dont run into the skipping problem.
