An alarm sound cog..... (SP)
2003-02-22, 12:22 PM #1
I need a cog that, once an adjoin is crossed, OR a sector is entered, a ghost object is created right above the player and follows the player around the level. A sound is played from that ghost (looped) until a switch is activated, then the ghost is deleted and the sound stops.

You should get when im trying to do, player enters a restricted area, and the intruder alarm sounds until the player finds a switch and deactivates it.

Thanks, it works, but there is a problem. If you exit and enter the sector after the sound is playing the first time, it starts again resulting in many slarm sound overlapping each other at once.

Oh, and a click noise for the switch would be nice too [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

There is something else you can use instead of PlaySoundThing!
If it is SP, no one else has to here it. You can use PlaySoundLocal or PlaySoundGlobal. The syntaxes are (sound,volume(flex),balance(flex),flags).

If it's SP, it's all the same. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
