Title say everything.

My idea: making a horror game so i put some entity into my game like: piano, clock, phone etc. And when the player walk near them nothing happens but after he wondering around and walk into a trigger zone which activate for example the piano's sound zone and next time when he walk near the piano a scary sound played once.

I only need the code (begging is rude right?) so if you dont give me code just point my head where am i need to look, what am i need to do to get this work. Thanks!

ok, then use the "plrinzoneactivateused.fpi" and set the "ifused"
field to the SAME NAME as the script to play the sound.(use unique
names) Then for the script to play the sound use something like...

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,activated=1:state=1
:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:state=2
:state=2:sound=Path To Your Sound File

Use something like that in a trigger and place near/over your objects where the player is to walk.

so there is no way to set sound zone "hidden"? like with entities spawn at start yes/no.

btw i made a quick map to test a simple T shape. i set the player start to the bottom of the T. the left side the sound zone and the right side the trigger zone.

i renamed the sound zone to s1 and set its main script to:

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,activated=1:state=1
:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:state=2
:state=2:plrsound=audiobank\sounds\scream.wav

am i need to set any sound in the sounds zone properties?

with the trigger zone i set the main script to plrinzoneactivatedused.fpi then wrote s1 to "if used" block.

Test: when i walk first to my sound zone nothing happens, neither if i walk to my trigger first.

Stick with "sound=" not "plrsound="

ok, if your using a "soundzone" try replacing "plrdistwithin"
with "plrwithinzone"

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,activated=1:state=1
:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:state=2,sound=x OR sound=$0

I didn't think it thru before, but if you do use the "plrdistwithin" condition one would attach that script to a
dynamic entity/object.(not using a trigger or soundzone)
But you would still use the first trigger to "activate" this script.
I'm using V1.20_1.14 works just fine.

Here are a few links...

Official Community Guide- these two PDF's contain various script info/examples as well as other tips and techniques.

General Script Information- a thread I have been working on to put the script knowledge into one location.

Complete Script Syntax- a PDF containing script commands.

Actually, there is no issue with needing something. The general concept is if you have made an attempt and are stuck, then show what you do have and those of us using classic and lurking can help out. We want to attempt to maintain the idea of "teaching"... you know the old saying- "give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime".

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