Sound not playing (Read if you want to have different times on looping sounds) - i3670 - 05-21-2012
The sound is simply not playing.
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "EnterWindOnArea", "FuncWindy", true, 1);
}
void FuncWindy(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(asChild == "EnterWindOnArea") {
float fWind = RandFloat(0.5f,6.5f);
AddTimer("wind", 2.5f+fWind, "WindTimer");
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "EnterWindOffArea", "FuncWindy", true, 1);
} else {
RemoveTimer("wind");
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "EnterWindOnArea", "FuncWindy", true, 1);
}
}
void WindTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
int iWind = RandFloat(1, 7);
float fWind = RandFloat(4.5f,14.5f);
PlaySoundAtEntity("WindSound"+iWind, "general_wind_blow.snt", "WindSound_"+iWind, 0.0f, false);
AddTimer("wind", 5.5f+fWind, "WindTimer");
}

iWind? fWind? What the fuck is going on?

Hey i3670,
I like your script, it's a bit complicated (than what I'm used to seeing on here) but it seems like it does its job efficiently.
Did you name your areas "WindSound_1", "WindSound_2", etc.?
Are you sure your timer is sounding off properly?
What I would do is add the following lines of code inside your WindTimer function:
AddDebugMessage("Firing WindTimer function", false);
(after the variables are declared)
AddDebugMessage("Playing sound WindSound_"+iWind, false);
Tell me what the results are. Make sure debug messages are enabled for your profile!

He's creating variables to randomize the time and area at which the sounds are played. "fWind" is a float, while "iWind" is an integer; floats are floating point numbers (decimals) while integers are 1, 2, 3, etc.

Don't have the debug messages active atm. Other than that, would there be any other reason to why it wouldn't sound?

Heres a one way to make random voice hearings and stuff like that.Just place insanity area in the level editor and when the player collides with it(no scripting needed)it will trigger a random insanity effect.I usually hear someone talking and i sometimes get cockroaches in my face too

RE: Sound not playing - i3670 - 05-21-2012
It's more controlled to script the events, than having a random insanity event occur.
RE: Sound not playing - i3670 - 05-22-2012
The source of the problem wasn't the script. The general_wind_blow sound was so low that I couldn't hear it. Thanks for helping anyways.
