Hey guys, I'm having trouble here getting this script to trigger. Everything seems to be working except the trigger itself. I created a script_origin to play my rain sound. The sound plays. In my alias, I have my rain sound set to play as an ambience. I have a secondary alias playing off this main rain sound, with an alias of building_null. This secondary alias is playing at a volume of 0. Both play at the same time and when I step into the trigger, it is supposed to play my secondary alias of building_null, but it doesn't. I think the line: thread player_no_rain_sound(); is missing in the ladder half of the script because I have Iprints set up to debug. Shouldn't it be defined again somewhere in the if and else statements? The iprintlnbold("touching triggers"); constantly loops, which should be correct, but when I step into my trigger it should Print play buildingNull but it doesn't. My trigger has a targetname of no_rain_sound. Can anyone see why this is happening? Here is the script: Code: main() { thread rainsound(); } rainsound() { noraintriggers = getentarray("no_rain_sound", "targetname"); if(noraintriggers.size <= 0) return; while(1) { players = getentarray("player", "classname"); for(i=0;i<players.size;i++) { if(!isDefined(players[i].outside)) players[i] thread player_no_rain_sound(); for(r=0;r<noraintriggers.size;r++) { iprintlnbold("touching triggers"); if(!isDefined(players[i].outside) && players[i] isTouching(noraintriggers[r])) players[i].outside = false; else if(!isDefined(players[i].outside) && !players[i] isTouching(noraintriggers[r])) players[i].outside = true; if(!players[i] isTouching(noraintriggers[r])) players[i].outside = true; else players[i].outside = false; } } wait 0.1; } } player_no_rain_sound() { wait 0.05; while(1) { if(!self.outside) self playLocalSound("building_null"); iprintlnbold("play buildingNull"); wait 25; // change to about how long the sound lasts for } } edited on May. 8, 2008 05:06 pm by DeekCiti

My guess is, it has something to do with the player[i ].outside variable not being carried over between functions. edited on May. 8, 2008 05:50 pm by The_Caretaker

ok, do you know how to fix that? I think it has to say self.outside because it only pertains to One player... edited on May. 8, 2008 06:03 pm by DeekCiti

Code: players[i] is a single player self is... well... isnt defined Code: main() { thread rainsound(); } rainsound() { noraintriggers = getentarray("no_rain_sound", "targetname"); if(!noraintriggers.size) return; while(1) { players = getentarray("player", "classname"); for(i=0;i<players.size;i++) { if(!isDefined(players[i].outside)) players[i] thread player_no_rain_sound(); for(r=0;r<noraintriggers.size;r++) { iprintlnbold("touching triggers"); if(players[i] isTouching(noraintriggers[r])) players[i].outside = false; else players[i].outside = true; } } wait 0.1; } } player_no_rain_sound() { self.outside = true; wait 0.05; while(1) { if(!self.outside) self playLocalSound("building_null"); iprintlnbold("play buildingNull"); wait 25; // change to about how long the sound lasts for, shorter the better (1 sec sound will probs be best) } } edited on May. 8, 2008 06:47 pm by .KiLL3R.

Using the script you posted above, it seems as though the trigger still doesn't hit. Getting the loop of IPrint touching triggers but when stepping into my trigger_multiple, I get no IPrint of play buildingNull Like I mentioned earlier, my trigger_multiple has a targetname of "no_rain_sound", I'm certain that it is correctly set up. Not sure what I'm missing, but it seems its not hitting that last Thread of: player_no_rain_sound() Does the Trigger NEED to be linked or (W) to something in order for it to be valid? Because right now it is not linked to anything. It's just a loose trigger, with a targetname.

the trigger doesnt need to be linked you might not be giving it time to loop "play buildingNull" will always show unless there are no triggers, same with "touching triggers" Code: player_no_rain_sound() { self endon("disconnect"); self.outside = true; wait 0.05; while(1) { if(!self.outside) self playLocalSound("building_null"); iprintlnbold("play buildingNull"); wait 1; } } edited on May. 9, 2008 02:00 am by .KiLL3R.

ok, I commented out the first IPrint, and then tested it with the updated portion of the script and it does infact Print play buildingNull. So the script is working. Although, since you changed the wait time to 1, instead of 25 could have been the reason why I didn't see it coming up in the IPrint. So yes, both IPrints do show. Why it isn't working on the trigger, I don't know, but I do want to tell you that when I go near one of my script_origins, the building_null goes into effect. They are high enough that it wouldn't happen in my map, cause this is just a test map and the origins are near the ceiling. This is strange that the script_origin has a radius and actually plays the building_null. But since my buildings are square, it won't work as a radius, otherwise I'd have gone that route. Remember how I set up my alias? Code: crickets,,amb_elements/amb_cricket_loud.wav,0.5,,ambience,,,,,ambient,,,looping,0.00001,all_mp,,,building_null,,,amb_front,nowetlevel fulldrylevel, building_null,,amb_elements/amb_cricket_loud.wav,0,0,element,,,7,100,auto,,,looping,master,all_mp,,,,,,amb_front,, I'm simply testing it with a cricket sound, but overall, its the same thing as rain. I just need a longer sound to test it with. So the script is working then, but for some reason the trigger is not. I'm this close to getting this working with the trigger... arrrgh

Well, I was using the cricket sound for the null, but it was playing an 0 volume, so its the same thing as a null. Alright, I've entered the information you have here into my alias. I believe you missed the "all_mp" on both lines, and also your min and max dist were switched, so I swapped them. No problem. added the following to my zone file: rawfile,sound/null.wav Still the trigger isn't playing the null. Just out of curiosity, why does the script want the building_null to constantly play? Shouldn't it only execute that portion of the script only when I hit the trigger?

no no, you dont need the all_mp you dont add sounds with rawfile,blah add sound,csvname,,, to your maps csv the script only plays building_null when self.outside is false
