I couldn't find any other information on this issue so I'll post it. The problem is this... Only sounds that are playing from a script, whether it be a door sound that plays when you open it, or something that moves when its triggered by a player... for some reason, stop playing from their original origin, and take over the nearest Origin or Trigger half way through the sound playing. An example: I walk up to my door. The door is made up of a Trigger_Use_Touch. The door is a Script_Brushmodel, and the door has an Origin texture for its hinge. I press use to open the door. The door sound is about 2 seconds long. The first (second) plays from the doors Hinge/Origin, but the second (second) plays from the Center of the Trigger_Multiple, that I'm standing in, and this Trigger_Multiple exists because it is playing an Ambient (Room) Track, for the room I'm standing in. The same thing happens for another script_brushmodels (origin). Its almost like if the sound is longer than a second, and is defined to have a max_dist in the soundalias, that is able to reach other Triggers or Origins... it seeks out the closest one, and finishes playing the sound there, instead of its Birth Origin. I just don't understand why the sound quits at its original Origin, and then moves over to this other Trigger, or Origin that its near. All my Scripted Sounds are doing this. Just as a note, all my scripts are Unique, nothing containing the same array names or thread names. This is driving me nuts... Anyone know why this is happening? Or a way to stop it? I'm wondering if there is something in the soundalias that can stop this. Since the soundalias controls everything soundlike, it would make sense the answer is in there.

ok, I've got an Update on this one. I found what's causing it, but no idea how to fix it. If I can get the second script to work correctly, this problem is solved. The First script I'm posting is what is returning the problems in post 1. This script does collect the "array" or triggers around the map. Script 1 Code: main() { thread ambient_null(); } ambient_null() { nulltrigs = getentarray("null_sound","targetname"); for(i=0;i<nulltrigs.size;i++) { nulltrigs[i] thread nulltrigger(); } } nulltrigger() { while(1) { self waittill("trigger"); self playSound("building_null"); // iprintlnbold("playing buildingNull"); wait 0.1; } } The Second script does not return the problem in post 1, BUT it only allows the first Trigger you walk in to be active. Its almost like it is not collecting the "array" of triggers around the map. Basically, the first trigger you step in Works, but any following triggers a player steps in, it does not work. Script 2 Code: main() { thread rainsound(); } rainsound() { noraintriggers = getentarray("null_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++) { 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"); wait 0.1; // sounds longevity } } So my question is now, why isn't the Second script, collecting the Array of triggers placed around my map. Why does it only allow the first trigger you hit to work, and all others it ignores? My guess is because of the .size being collected in these areas in this code snippet: Code: rainsound() { noraintriggers = getentarray("null_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++) {

Comparing the two scripts, my hunch was it had something to do with: self playSound("building_null"); self playLocalSound("building_null"); Because, these are really the only Difference between the two scripts. So the answer is simply this: self playLocalSound("building_null"); I find this really strange that, if a player is standing in a trigger_multiple, and that trigger_multiple is already playing a sound while the player is standing in it... if the player hits another trigger_use or trigger_use_touch, and the sound of this trigger_use is longer than one second, it will take over the center of the trigger_multiple that you happen to be in as the sound continues to play, UNLESS "playlocalsound" is used in the trigger_multiple's script. playlocalsound = Plays a sound locally to the player. playsound = Play the sound alias as if coming from the entity. Quote: Only thing here is, if you try and add playlocalsound to the first script, it will return an error saying "entity # is not player". I'm sure the fix is simple, but I'm not a scripter...So after testing that enough and not getting that script to work I found one that will. This makes 100% sense, but then I just had to find a script to run it. Using the following script will run it, and work perfect. Thanks everyone for the help! LOL Code: main() { thread ambient_null(); } ambient_null() { sound = getentarray("current", "targetname"); for (i=0; i < sound.size; i++) { sound[i] playloopsound("current"); } thread trigger_source(); } trigger_source() { trigger = getentarray ("null_sound", "targetname"); for (i=0; i<trigger.size; i++) { trigger[i] thread no_rain_sound(); } } no_rain_sound() { while(1) { self waittill("trigger", player); player playlocalsound("building_null"); wait 0.1; } }
