Very basic vehicle sounds [Coding help]

[Rally]

Hey I'm a fresh fresh noob when it comes to anything to do with Torque script

Basically I'm making a jeep edit with a few minor adjustments. I'm not looking for anything too crazy, I just want the jeep to play two sounds based on what it is doing. If it's sitting around doing nothing, it plays an idle sound, and if it is accelerating or driving, it plays a different sound. I feel like this may be relatively simple but it's still way over my head and I can't find any good example vehicles to reference from. Any help you could give me on this I would really appreciate appreciate.

Use speedkarts as a reference.

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work? Because I feel like it should work.

That's because you didn't change enough of the other datablocks referenced in the code to match your own datablocks, try this

Code: [Select]

function JeepWastelandVehicle::onadd(%this,%obj)
{
VehicleSpeedCheck(%this, %obj);
}

function VehicleSpeedCheck(%this, %obj)
{
if(!isObject(%obj))
return;

%vehicle = %obj;
%datablock = %vehicle.getDatablock();
%slot = 0; //Play the sound in the driver's spot
%speed = vectorLen(%obj.getVelocity());

if(%speed < 0) //Keeps throwing random negative numbers when train is at dead stop
    %speed = 0;

if(%speed < 10)
{
    if(%datablock.JeepWastelandIdleSound !$= "")
{
%vehicle.playAudio(%slot, %datablock.JeepWastelandIdleSound);
}
else{
if(isObject(JeepWastelandIdleSound))
{
%vehicle.playAudio(%slot, JeepWastelandIdleSound);
}
} 
}
else{
if(%datablock.JeepWastelandIdleSound !$= "")
{
%vehicle.playAudio(%slot, %datablock.JeepWastelandDriveSound);
}
else{
if(isObject(JeepWastelandGoSound))
{
%vehicle.playAudio(%slot, JeepWastelandGoSound);

Cool, thank you. The sounds are definitely working (just swapped the code in the previous post with yours), but now I have another issue: the wheels disappeared.

[Masterlegodude]

That might be because i forgot that you need to parent the onAdd function, so replace it with this

Code: [Select]

function JeepWastelandVehicle::onadd(%this,%obj)
{
VehicleSpeedCheck(%this, %obj);
parent::onadd(%this,%obj);
}

Whoops. That fixed it, thanks a ton man, great help.

Oh, i just noticed this in your vehicle's main datablock

Code: [Select]

//IDLE SOUND
speedCartIdleSound = JeepWastelandIdleSound;

//DRIVING SOUND
speedCartDriveSound = JeepWastelandDriveSound;
These aren't necessary, and if anything, would overwrite the Speed Kart sounds with your own

[Space1255]

The .wavs of the original SpeedKart file are in there, towards the top half of your code.You probably don't have the right files attatched to them.
Oh wait this was already resolved my bad

[8hbc]

What's the difference between the go and driving sound? Is the go just startup of the engine or the transition from driving to idle?

[Rally]

What's the difference between the go and driving sound? Is the go just startup of the engine or the transition from driving to idle?

SpeedKart_Go.wav was the default sound for vehicles that weren't assigned a sound
SpeedKartBuggy_go.wav was the sound I assigned for the vehicles

It's really a bit messy, it was just sorta ripped from the speedkart vehicle code.
