I'm novice at scripting to say the least...where's my error?

1) check waves for format, fpsc doesnt like all frequency ranges (22khz and 48khz working).

2) sound only plays when you change state in the next line.

What do you mean when you change state in the next line? I also changed all files to 48hz, still won't work

better to change the state-number to get the sound work, there are also some other commands out there with that behavior.

;triggers
:state=0,plrdistwithin=550:state=1
:state=1,plrcanbeseen:state=2
:state=2:timerstart,sound=audiobank/341/A09.wav,state=3
:state=3,timergreater=300:state=4
:state=4:timerstart,sound=audiobank/341/A12.wav,state=5
:state=5,timergreater=300:state=6
:state=6:timerstart,sound=audiobank/341/A35.wav,state=7
:state=7,timergreater=300:state=8
:state=8:timerstart,sound=audiobank/341/A15.wav,state=9
:state=9,timergreater=500:state=0
;end of script

also you missed the state=x in line 8. thats why it plays a sound for 300 milliseconds, then jumps to your state=5 and plays another sound for 500 ms, then starts back at state=0.

I really appreciate the help, but the script still doesn't work

Edit
I changed the entity to dynamic and it works now...why does that matter?
Also, it works because it plays...but it plays every sound at the same time. I changed the timer to wait 10000, still played at the same time

Only dynamic entities can run scripts, static objects are just a part of the level geometry. 300ms is a very short delay between the sounds, so you might want to increase that a bit. You'll want to switch over to etimers instead of the global timer, it's a good habit to get into if you start doing a big project. Also, plrcanbeseen only works with characters, and I'm assuming the entity you're applying this to is not a character. Try using plrdistwithin=150 instead.

when you want to play the sounds one after another, you have to use different timer-values (first 3 are the same) or restart timer with every sound playing.

Think like an engine.

I have found when I troubleshoot a script and I am a novice as well. I have to think like the FPSC engine. Remember a computer is only as smart as you tell it to be. Start from the first line of of the script and follow each step to spot flaws in the scripts.

When looking at the condition portion ask yourseld were the conditions met? Ok now the actions are all actions complete? Ok move on to the next. I have often found stupid little mistakes in my scripts that way. Also I have had great success with testing the script as I go others may laugh at me. But what I do sometimes is create a hud that simply says "ok" I set the hud up as normal in :state=0, then I start my script. When I get to a point i want to test what Ihave written so far I assign the last command in the script to display the hud. So I know that the engine was able to read through the script and didn't get hung up anywhere.

Not to make your script anymore complicated but just a random thought. instead of using the plrdistwithin conditions. You could set up the whole conversation to take place only when a key is pressed. just like a regular walkie talkie you have to press the send button to brodcast. Well you could do the same in this case. I can see if I can come up with something for you to try out if you'd like.

I think I got it guys

@Trout, I think you had the best solution by far. But I fixed it a few days ago by simply making it one bigger audio file, which worked a lot better

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

Hey Jay,

I know you said that you got it. But your post got me thinking which of course led me to trying to work out the script. Iam not sure if you can use it or not. Place it in the main of a trigger. Pressing the "r" key will play each audio file and will worked anywhere in the level after being triggered. Do with it as you wish. either wy let me know what you think. For some reason on my system the second time I run the script sequence outside the zone it "hiccups" Not sure why. Let me know if you have the same result
