Spawnsound.cog

[ORJ_JoS]

Hi all!

I downloaded this cog from massassi, but it doesnt work for multiplayer. Players hear the sound, but only when they respawn themselves, not if another player spawns.

I'm sure this can be fixed! I tried adding the 'flags=0x240' line, but that didn't solve it.




# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# Spawnsound.COG
#
# Plays a sound when player (re)spawns
#

symbols

message newplayer

sound wav=

int dummy local

end

# ================================================== ======================================

code
newplayer:
Dummy=PlaySoundLocal(wav, 1.0, 0, 0);

return;

end




Would someone be so nice to implement it for me? :)

The newplayer: message is local only, meaning when another player respawns your COGs don't receive a newplayer: message. One way you could solve the problem is to fire off a trigger when you respawn that tells the other players to play a respawn sound on their computer.

Hmmmm, I didn't know that. Is that difficult to do?

Or just edit the line that plays the sound in kyle.cog?

Kyle.cog? Never heard of that, I hardly know anything about Cog. I'm more of a mapper myself.

The trigger idea sounded good! I can't really write my own cog... I can modify really really basic things only....

Try this and see what happens. I'm assuming newplayer is called whenever A player respawns, not just the local player. Otherwise this might have to be 2 cogs.

return;

return;

end

:D Wow, thanks, Slaw!

I'm going to test this! It looks like it'll work, hehe.

Your name will be all over the cog credits in my level, lol. You help me out so often!

This level is near completion and will be submitted as soon as I get the AI synced. (A Remote, G-Man is helping me out with it - we have it synced now but it keeps respawning, arg lol. G-Man is in my clan now, by the way :) )

This spawnsound.cog is for my second temple preview... it has this randomambient bell sound ... someone suggested to let it play the bell sound when a player joins the game...instead of just at random intervals.. so here I am, lol.

ok, I'll be back with the test results. ;)
