Ok. The subject is is a bit nerd I know.
Here is my more detailed question: i have an entity which has sound. In test game I can hear this sound in the whole level.

How can I configure this sound or write a script to soften the sound as the player get far away from the source of the sound?

Incorrect, coffee grunt.

3DSound is not a command in FPSC:

plrsound=X
sound=X

Those are the two that you are talking about.

"plrsound" will play a sound that will be heard from anywhere (Because it's on top of the player no matter what)

"sound" will play a 3 dimensional sound, which shoul dget quieter the further away you are.

Thanks But bad news to me that this is not woring with loopsound.

I think I will solve it with soundzone. Not the best, but better then hear the sound in the whole level.

loopsound will basically loop a "plrsound" type sound.

So loopsound just loops something that you will always hear and will never fade away.

I was attempting to make a "loop3dsound" scripting command way back when, but it just wouldn't work.

Sorry Plystire but it is. "3DSOUND=X plays a 3D sound specified by the X filename. Use $0 for soundest"

SOUNDSCALE command will help you. I guess.
SOUNDSCALE=X changes the 3D sound scale by percentage X

Sorry, nickydude, but it isn't:



As you can see from this snippet in the source code, ACT(ion)SOUND is looking for the text "plrsound", and the ACT(ion)3DSOUND is looking for the text "sound".

This is from the V1.07 source code.

Use it wisely.

Then there's another script command that isn't implemented. I stand corrected.

It's implemented, it's just under a different name is all.

I'll ask for a 3D sound command!

Lee's asking me to collect commands so I'll make sure it's in the list.

Everyone STOP right there!

Did you not just read what I said?

It IS a command already, it's just not CALLED "3dsound", it's called "sound" and SOUND isn't called "sound" it's called "plrsound".

If you ask Lee for anything, simply ask him to rename them... but I warn you that a lot of scripts will stop working.

I believe I have it figured out:

Create a dynamic object, and place it where you want the sound to come from. Set the main script to 'repeatsound.fpi', and at the bottom where is says 'Sound0', find the location of the sound file you want to loop. The sound should now loop, and fade out as you move farther away.

I came across the same problem with my levels. The sound would fade away but not disappear completely. I ended up just using sound zones and it seemed to work just fine.

Plystire,

Thanks very much for the clarification on the two sound commands.

Quote: "Everyone STOP right there!

Did you not just read what I said?

It IS a command already, it's just not CALLED "3dsound", it's called "sound" and SOUND isn't called "sound" it's called "plrsound"."


...pretty clear.

It would do more harm than good to have the commands renamed. Too many scripts would cease to work, without manually edits.

We don't want more hassles. We want FPSC to become easier to use...

Indeed, Seth. I think what would be more appropriate is for them to redo the manual. At least, the scripting portion, to make it correct. (Remove commands that don't work correctly, rephrase descriptions to be correct, etc.)

I think a manual just on the scripting language and what it can do (with lots of examples) would stop many a person saying "how cr*p the software is" because they aren't using it to it's full potential, because they don't know about scripting.

I'm considering making an edited version of the current manual, to bring it back up to date......

How many of you would say this would be worth it?

Just an update of the scripting portion, if done well, would be a major undertaking by someone who knows the code. The entire manual would be unnecessary IMO.

Best.

Well, I'm pretty sure I know the code well.....

I could ask Ply for help on anything I'm unsure of, He's seen the source code, so He'll be able to help me pretty well.....

Yup, if you got a question, just email me.


For some reason, when I read your post I read this part as:

Quote: "He's seen the light,"


lmao, don't ask me why.


Also, when referencing me with a pronoun... please don't capitalise it like you did. Don't want anyone thinking I'm some sort of god.
