Check and make sure you created areas equal to a, and named them spook_area_1, spook_area_2, etc until you reach spook_area_a.

Next, change file1.snt, file2.snt, etc to the proper sound files. You need cases in the switch function equal to d.

Make sure b and c are integers.

Thanks for making this, keep posting more!

EDIT: Suggestion : Tutorial for how to after entering a level to seal and exit? I mean after loading screen you can look back on the door and let's say rocks will seal off the exit. I have seen it done in some custom stories

There is a more flexible concise way to play a random sound:

Code: (Select All)

void playRandomSound(string soundName, string[] sounds, string atEntity, float fadeTime, bool saveSound)
{
  //Select a random index from the array
  int rand = RandInt(0,sounds.length()-1);
  //Play the sound at that index with the given settings
  PlaySoundAtEntity(soundName, sounds[rand], atEntity, fadeTime, saveSound);
}

Usage could be something like:

Code: (Select All)

//Idea 1:
void someFunction()
{
  string[] mySounds = {"Sound1.snt","Sound2.snt","randomSound.snt","Magic.snt"};
  playRandomSound("Random",mySounds,"Player",0.5f,false);
}
//Idea 2:
string[] levelSounds = {"Sound1.snt","Sound2.snt","randomSound.snt","Magic.snt"};
void OtherCodeHere() {}
void someScriptCollisionCallback(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alStat)
{
  playRandomSound("Random",levelSounds,asChild,0.5f,false);
}
Void MoreCodeHere() {}

But nice list, i may have one or two neat little scripts i can dig out.

Nice Apjjm I'll toss that up on the initial post. I'll put timers so it loops too Very nice, sir. I didn't even know you could use playRandomSound() like that

Toss functions like that up on the wiki if you get the time
