music instrument

[Cherrykao]

I scripted a music instrument and when i play it, i can hear it, but other people in the level can't hear it. so my question is how can I make it so that others can hear the sounds from the music instrument too?

here's a part of my script:

NPC Code:

---

// flute1 is idle gani and flute2 is the animation gani when player plays the flute



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onWeaponFired() {

  this.mode = 1;

  this.count = 10;

  disabledefmovement();

  setani flute1,;

  setTimer(0.05);

}



function onTimeout() {

  if (this.mode == 1) {

    // Quit

      if (keydown(6)) {

        setani idle,;

        enabledefmovement();

        this.mode = 0;

      }

      if (keydown(1)) {

        setani flute2,;

        if (keydown(4)) {	   

          play("flute9.wav");

        }

        else if (keydown(5)) {	

          play("flute5.wav");

        } else {

          play("flute1.wav");

        }



  // some more codes here...



  setTimer(0.05);

  }

}

The play() command only plays the sounds for the current player. In order for other players to hear sounds, they have to be in a gani.

And please, use [ PHP][ /PHP] tags instead of code ones.

yes indeed, i was speculating that. what i want to do is simply pass an integer from 1 - 16 to the gani and then the gani will play a specific wave file based on the number it was passed. so to do this i would do:

// In the instrument weapon code

PHP Code:

setani("flute2", 1); 


but then, how would the code look inside the gani (when i open the gani up in a text editor to read what variable was passed to it)??

// In the gani:

PHP Code:

SCRIPT 
  if (params[0] == 1) {
    play("flute1.wav");
  }
  else (params[0] == 2) {
    play("flute2.wav");
  }
SCRIPTEND 


is that how it would look inside the gani file?

I haven't tried this, but this -should- work (gani script):

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  play(params[0]);
} 


If that doesn't work, try this in the wNPC:

PHP Code:

player.attr[20] = "songtoplay.mid";
setani("flute2"); 


And then this in the gani:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters()
{
  play(player.attr[20]);
}

No, you can't use onCreated() in a GANI script.

onCreated() will overwrite params, and onCreated() will be given no params. So I would do something like this:

PHP Code:

SCRIPT
if (created)
{
  play( params[0] );
}
SCRIPTEND 


and then do
setAni( "flute_play", "sound1.wav" );

For more advanced gani scripts, you can do

PHP Code:

if ( created )
{
  this.args = params;
  startScript();
}
function startScript()
{
  // Now params is in this.args
  doSomething();
}

Simple.

setani("flutegani","flutesound_"this.sound);

and in the gani, put a sound and use PARAM1

[HolySheepy]

setani("flutegani","flutesound_" @ this.sound);

corrected :P

[DustyPorViva]

Hmm, I put @ this.sound must of got removed somehow.
