sounds that everyone can hear without gani

[Gman4pwnu]

Im wondering how I can serverside sounds in a level npc. I tried play serverside but it doesn't work. Idea's?

[osrs]

It's good to play sounds clientside. x-x'
I don't think you can play sounds serverside, i never tried at least.

[Loriel]

You are supposed to use ganis, or play sounds directly on the clientside for everybody.

[Gman4pwnu]

should I trigger action to clientside to play sounds? will that allow everyone to hear?

[Loriel]

You would then need to trigger every client in a loop.

[WanDaMan]

clientside is your own view, so if you trigger it back to clientside from serverside only you will hear it.

erm...


//#CLIENTSIDE
if (created) play sound.wav;



doesnt work anymore? (in a level npc)

[Loriel]

I assumed he wants a clientside NPC on a certain clientside, local action to play a sound to everybody.

[Gman4pwnu]

a for playerscount loop?

[R0bin]

I suppose you could make a weapon

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (actionsound) {

  play #p(0);

}

---

and anotherone

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (weaponfired) {

  for (i=0;i<playerscount;i++) {

    triggeraction players[i].x+1.5,players[i].y+1.5,sound,#c;

  }

}

---

then if you said like stef21.mid then fired the weapon everyone would hear the sound, but meh.

I still would prefer the use of ganis
If a player is lagged, the triggeractions will not even hit, and such a cumbersome workaround is a hack anyway

I got a weapon with a timeout loop, and it checks if !the string client.string is empty. If it ain't it will play that. Serverside I do a for playerscount loop, and set the string..

I don't use this a lot though, I got ganis for most of that stuff.

doesn't get rid of the problem of sending sounds to every player in response to one player's action (you still have to send that info to every player, and that is the problem)

Just make an empty gani (put a blank image in there so it doesn't default to idle ) and have it play it's params in ganiscript, then use that for any sound you want to send to every other player, there isn't much need to find a workaround for something that works just fine
