I don't know if this is possible but I really want to see if I can do it.
In my custom story the guy you play as has a conversation with somebody at the other side of the door before he opens a door for you.

I want vocals from the guy you play as to come out at the player and I want the vocals from the other character to come out at the other side of the wall and afterwards, the guy behind the door is going to pull a lever to open up door for you to go through.

Does anybody know how to do this? Can it be done?

Timers and PlaySoundAtEntity?

I'm a bit of a newibe. Thanks, I'll try and do something with that

(Doublepost)

I am looking for tutorials on how make timers. Could somebody give me a basic script for when a player enters an area that triggers a timer that plays a sound?

Pretty please<3

Check the Engine Script page and you will learn how to do it. I have written down everything you will need, below:

Code:
void OnStart() 

{

    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "NameOfYourArea", "TriggerFunc", true, 1);

}

void TriggerFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

{

    AddTimer("", 3.0f, "SoundTimer");

}

void SoundTimer(string &in asTimer)

{

    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "NameOfYourSoundFile.snt", "NameOfTheEntityToCreateTheSoundAt", 0, false);

}

/////////////////////////////////////////

////// From the Engine Scripts:

////////////////////////////////////////

void AddEntityCollideCallback(string& asParentName, string& asChildName, string& asFunction, bool abDeleteOnCollide, int alStates);

Calls a function when two entites collide.

Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) 

alState: 1 = enter, -1 = leave

asParentName - internal name of main object

asChildName - internal name of object that collides with main object (asterix (*) NOT supported!)

asFunction - function to call

abDeleteOnCollide - determines whether the callback after it was called

alStates - 1 = only enter, -1 = only leave, 0 = both

void AddTimer(string& asName, float afTime, string& asFunction);

Creates a timer which calls a function when it expires.

Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asTimer)

asName - the name of the timer

afTime - time in seconds

asFunction - the function to call

void PlaySoundAtEntity(string& asSoundName, string& asSoundFile, string& asEntity, float afFadeTime, bool abSaveSound);

Creates a sound on an entity.

asSoundName - internal name

asSoundFile - the sound to use + extension .snt

asEntity - the entity to create the sound at, can be “Player”

afFadeTime - time in seconds the sound needs to fade

abSaveSound - determines whether a sound should “remember” its 

state. If true, the sound is never attached to the entity! Also note 

that saving should on be used on looping sounds!

I will give that a try once I get my voices done. Thank you ever so much.
