So I want to make a certain audio clip play when the character walk into it, I know how to do this. But i want it to only play that one time. So if the person walks through it again, it wont play.

Sort of like a one time only sound.

THANKS!

This should be in the 'Scripts' Thread just for future reference.

Check out the link below which might help you out:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=200589&b=23

Its not what you want but by using the 'Destroy' action in the script for the triggerzone (after the audio has been triggered) the trigger zone can be used no more.
I'm not a scripter but I think you might have to use a 'timer' (etimer) before you use the 'Destroy' action just to allow the audio to begin playing before the Trigger zone is shut down.

Hope this hlps in some way.

Correct, the "destroy" action will terminate the script.

It depends on how it is scripted, etc. It IS better to use an etimer as you suggested, give it a 1 second time, then destroy the script. Even when the script is destroyed, the sound will play to the end then stop.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

Ok, so if i set the sound zone to have an etimer script, no audio plays and it only terminates the zone after set time. Do i put this on a trigger zone or what?

So im trying to figure out how to script this timer into the "destroy" script. What to i include for the Main script though? and what about the If Used section? It IS a trigger zone and not sound zone, so do i also modify the script to play a specific audio file?
