How to make screen shaking with sound? - Radical Batz - 02-01-2014

If you've played amnesia the dark descent then you know what I'm talking about! if you remember in the begining of amnesia when you enter the area where there is a oven with a wardrobe/the room where you'll enter after you grabbed the lantern. yeah that room where it will unlock the door after you get the lantern, everything starts to shake and makes a shaking rumble sound, how do I do that? I want to do that in my custom story! thanks Wink

You play a sound and shake the screen, pretty basic. All the functions for this can be found here:

Look for the functions in the original script and "get inspired".

You'll need a Screenshake function to make the screen shake, basically. Then a PlayGuiSound that will play a rumble sound (PlayGuiSound works with .ogg sound files, no need to use any .snt).

Also you will need a AddPropForce to the items ! Shaking the screen and playing the sound are very good, but you want the whole room to shake ! So AddPropForce to the chandeliers, to the details, maybe turn some lights off using SetLampLit.

Also, create some dust particles in the room when the screen shakes !

Well, you can use my script if you wish.

Spoiler below!
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Scare_1", "StartShaking", true, 1);
}

void StartShaking(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{  
    SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(0.35);
    SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(0);
    SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(0.5);
    GiveSanityDamage(25.0f, true);
    PlayGuiSound("guardian_ontop3.ogg", 0.5f);
    StartScreenShake( 0.2f, 1.1f, 0.2f, 8.5f);
    CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_cave_monster_breath.ps", "Ghost_1", true);
    CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_cave_monster_breath.ps", "Ghost_2", true);
    AddTimer("", 0.7, "scared");
}
void scared(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetEntityActive("skull_1", false);
    SetEntityActive("skull_2", true);
    AddTimer("", 8.5, "scared2");
}
void scared2(string &in asTimer)
{
SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(1);
SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(1);
SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(1);
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);      
}
