Hey guys... I wonder if you can help?

Ive extracted this from the FPI script command reference, its explaining the noiseheard command.

<=========================FPI COMMAND============================>
[edit] NOISEHEARD
-usage: NOISEHEARD=X
Returns true when the entity hears a broadcase noise from scene
<================================================================>

A) what is a broadcast noise? Is any SFX sound a broadcast noise??
B) How do we set the entity in question??

Hope someone can shed a little light on the matter, thanks guys...

Answers:

A) A broadcast noise is a sound being played using the "sound=" action in a script. That will play a "3d sound" and entities that are looking for "NoiseHeard" will notice it, if it's close enough to them. Sounds that do NOT count as "broadcast sounds" are called with the "plrsound=" action, to play a sound for the player and just the player.

B) "Set"? As in set up the entity? Well, you make a entity in your level, then in their properties, give them a Main AI script that uses the command you were looking for. Most Character AI scripts use that to check for sound.


Btw, the "NoiseHeard=X" condition... actually does not USE the X in it's code, and so you could put ANY value into it and it would act the same.
