non reusable items [sound problems] SOLVED

[Dy mar]

i almost have the script working, i just cant play the firing sound when i fire. it just plays the "item pick up" sound. is there any way to get around this?

Show us what you have.

MsgItemPickup plays that sound when received at the same time as updating the tools menu.

You could use serverPlay3d() to play the throw sound as I think the image is being changed to nothing before it plays the sound.

[Dy mar]

would that command cause a 3d sound from you or from the "server"

[Amade]

would that command cause a 3d sound from you or from the "server"

From your position on the server.

[Dy mar]

I tried and it did not seem to work. ill test again later.

[Dy mar]

no worky :C

it doesn't work still... any other way? such as disabling that sound for that command?

[Space Guy]

Well, what code are you using to play it right now?

[Dy mar]

just the same with your line added.

It doesn't directly play a sound file, you have to create a sound datablock for it and specify a position in the server for the sound to play from.

In the TF2 Butterfly Knife, I used this code:
datablock AudioProfile(bKnifeFireSound)
{
   filename    = "./bknife_swing.wav";
   description = AudioClosest3d;
   preload = true;
};

...

serverplay3d(bknifeFireSound,%obj.getHackPosition());

[Dy mar]

so i would change the "get hack position to "get fire position" ?

[Space Guy]

"getHackPosition()" is the middle of the player's chest. "getPosition()" is the centre of their feet. "getMuzzlePoint(0)" is the "muzzlePoint" node on the weapon if it has one or their hand.

EPIC

thanks, this will be incredibly helpfull. testing--

-- IT WORKS!!!! lol...

solved ty
