Mouse Events

#1 You need to "bind" a command to the left and right mouse buttons. Lets see here...

Ah!

You need to add something like the following to your actionMap:

moveMap.bind( mouse0, button0, playASound );
moveMap.bind( mouse0, button1, playADifferentSound);

You'll also need to define the functions "playASound" and "playADifferentSound". Something Like This:

$sound1Handle = alxCreateSource("AudioCloseLooping3d", expandFilename("~/data/sound/sound1.wav"));

$sound2Handle = alxCreateSource("AudioCloseLooping3d", expandFilename("~/data/sound/sound2.wav"));

function playASound( %down)
{
  if (%down) {
    if (!alxIsPlaying( $sound1Handle )) {
      alxPlay( $sound1Handle );
    }
  } else {
    alxStop( $sound1Handle );
  }
}

function playADifferentSound()
{
  if (%down) {
    if (!alxIsPlaying( $sound2Handle )) {
      alxPlay( $sound1Handle );
    }
  } else {
    alxStop( $sound2Handle );
  }
}

Note: Other than the "bind" stuff, I haven't done any of this myself, I'm just swiping stuff from the private forums.


Ah... and here's something else. In addition to the alx stuff (which could create client-only sounds), you can also do things over the network from the server. Here's a sample of someone playing a sound when a person enters a trigger:

datablock TriggerData(WickwardTrigger)
{
    tickPeriodMS = 100;
};
function WickwardTrigger::onEnterTrigger( %this, %trigger, %obj )
{
      serverPlay3D(Wickwardnoise,%obj.getTransform());
}


//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Wickwardnoise - jwoods
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

datablock AudioProfile(Wickwardnoise)
{
   filename    = "~/data/sound/wierd.wav";
   description = AudioClose3d;
   preload = false;
};

So the wickward trigger is tested 10 times a second (tickPeriodMS = 100). When it goes off, it plays the wickWardNoise for everyone close enough to hear an "audioClose3d" sound.

Hope that helps.

#2 Thanks for the details. I wasn't aware of action maps, but glad to hear it. If anyone has info on how they work I'll take it. looking around about it now, thanks again.
