A car horn script (more info in OP)

[Insert Name Here²]

Basically /title

I have no idea how to script but could someone make a small script that you could paste into a vehicle's .CS file and when you Click, (LMB) the script plays a .wav sound file (that you place in the vehicle's .zip folder) and it plays the said .wav file in-game as a sort of horn.

I've already made 4 horn sound files but I just need a small script that I could paste into each vehicle.cs file that will use the horn. The reason I'm doing it this way is because I want horns to differ between different vehicles rather than every vehicle using the same horn sound.

Thanks for any help!

oh and I'll be using this in a City server and I'll give you credit

in every vehicle, create the horn sound datablock and in the vehicle datablock, give it a field "hornSound = [your sound datablock];"

then run this somewhere
package VehicleHorn
{
   function Armor::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val)
   {
      if (isObject(%sound = %player.getObjectMount().getDatablock().hornSound) && %slot == 0 && %val))
      {
         serverPlay3D(%sound, %player.getObjectMount().getPosition());
      }
      return parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);
   }
};
activatePackage(VehicleHorn);

add a timeout to it so players can't spam the horn

Thanks but uh, I don't really know how to set a datablock nor do I know how to "run this somewhere"

Could you type it out on what to do exactly and where to go and such? I'm like very VERY new to any sort of torque script

[Masterlegodude]

You can copy and paste that script anywhere inside of your fileName.cs file, just make sure it's not inside of any other script, scripts like those are usually around the bottom of a CS file

As for the sound datablocks, this is what it should look like

Code: [Select] datablock AudioProfile(VehicleName_HornSound) {    filename    = "./fileName.wav";    description = AudioClose3d;    preload = true; };

This goes somewhere at the top of your CS file

Then in the WheeledVehicleData datablock, you put hornSound = VehicleName_HornSound; where ever, like this for example (look for the red text)

datablock WheeledVehicleData(JeepVehicle) {    category = "Vehicles";    displayName = " ";    shapeFile = "./jeep.dts"; //"~/data/shapes/skivehicle.dts"; //    emap = true;    minMountDist = 3;        numMountPoints = 7;    mountThread[0] = "sit";    mountThread[1] = "sit";    mountThread[2] = "sit";    mountThread[3] = "sit";    mountThread[4] = "sit";    mountThread[5] = "root";    mountThread[6] = "root";    mountThread[7] = "sit";    maxDamage = 200.00;    destroyedLevel = 200.00;    speedDamageScale = 1.04;    collDamageThresholdVel = 20.0;    collDamageMultiplier   = 0.02;    massCenter = "0 0 0";    //massBox = "2 5 1";    maxSteeringAngle = 0.9785;  // Maximum steering angle, should match animation    integration = 4;           // Force integration time: TickSec/Rate    tireEmitter = VehicleTireEmitter; // All the tires use the same dust emitter    // 3rd person camera settings    cameraRoll = false;         // Roll the camera with the vehicle    cameraMaxDist = 13;         // Far distance from vehicle    cameraOffset = 7.5;        // Vertical offset from camera mount point    cameraLag = 0.0;           // Velocity lag of camera    cameraDecay = 0.75;        // Decay per sec. rate of velocity lag    cameraTilt = 0.4;    collisionTol = 0.1;        // Collision distance tolerance    contactTol = 0.1;    useEyePoint = false;       defaultTire   = jeepTire;    defaultSpring   = jeepSpring;    //flatTire   = jeepFlatTire;    //flatSpring   = jeepFlatSpring;    numWheels = 4;    // Rigid Body    mass = 300;    density = 5.0;    drag = 1.6;    bodyFriction = 0.6;    bodyRestitution = 0.6;    minImpactSpeed = 10;        // Impacts over this invoke the script callback    softImpactSpeed = 10;       // Play SoftImpact Sound    hardImpactSpeed = 15;      // Play HardImpact Sound    groundImpactMinSpeed    = 10.0;    // Engine    engineTorque = 12000; //4000;       // Engine power    engineBrake = 2000;         // Braking when throttle is 0    brakeTorque = 50000;        // When brakes are applied    maxWheelSpeed = 30;        // Engine scale by current speed / max speed    rollForce      = 900;    yawForce      = 600;    pitchForce      = 1000;    rotationalDrag      = 0.2;    // Advanced Steering    steeringAutoReturn = true;    steeringAutoReturnRate = 0.9;    steeringAutoReturnMaxSpeed = 10;    steeringUseStrafeSteering = true;    steeringStrafeSteeringRate = 0.1;    // Energy    maxEnergy = 100;    jetForce = 3000;    minJetEnergy = 30;    jetEnergyDrain = 2;    splash = vehicleSplash;    splashVelocity = 4.0;    splashAngle = 67.0;    splashFreqMod = 300.0;    splashVelEpsilon = 0.60;    bubbleEmitTime = 1.4;    splashEmitter[0] = vehicleFoamDropletsEmitter;    splashEmitter[1] = vehicleFoamEmitter;    splashEmitter[2] = vehicleBubbleEmitter;    mediumSplashSoundVelocity = 10.0;       hardSplashSoundVelocity = 20.0;       exitSplashSoundVelocity = 5.0;           //mediumSplashSound = "";    //hardSplashSound = "";    //exitSplashSound = "";        // Sounds    //   jetSound = ScoutThrustSound;    //engineSound = idleSound;    //squealSound = skidSound;    softImpactSound = slowImpactSound;    hardImpactSound = fastImpactSound;    //wheelImpactSound = slowImpactSound;    hornSound = VehicleName_HornSound;    //   explosion = VehicleExplosion;    justcollided = 0;    uiName = "Jeep ";    rideable = true;       lookUpLimit = 0.65;       lookDownLimit = 0.45;    paintable = true;        damageEmitter[0] = VehicleBurnEmitter;    damageEmitterOffset[0] = "0.0 0.0 0.0 ";    damageLevelTolerance[0] = 0.99;    damageEmitter[1] = VehicleBurnEmitter;    damageEmitterOffset[1] = "0.0 0.0 0.0 ";    damageLevelTolerance[1] = 1.0;    numDmgEmitterAreas = 1;    initialExplosionProjectile = jeepExplosionProjectile;    initialExplosionOffset = 0;         //offset only uses a z value for now    burnTime = 4000;    finalExplosionProjectile = jeepFinalExplosionProjectile;    finalExplosionOffset = 0.5;          //offset only uses a z value for now    minRunOverSpeed    = 4;   //how fast you need to be going to run someone over (do damage)    runOverDamageScale = 8;   //when you run over someone, speed * runoverdamagescale = damage amt    runOverPushScale   = 1.2; //how hard a person you're running over gets pushed    //protection for passengers    protectPassengersBurn   = false;  //protect passengers from the burning effect of explosions?    protectPassengersRadius = true;  //protect passengers from radius damage (explosions) ?    protectPassengersDirect = false; //protect passengers from direct damage (bullets) ? };

Alright I understand that and I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Alright Conan found out what was wrong, in the script block he added in an extra parenthesis by mistake. I removed it and now the script works flawlessly! Thank you Conan and Masterlego dude! <3

oh and here's a video example of it ingame (click the image)

Locking thread, I will unlock it if I need any further help!

Edit: Fixed the video link lol
