Damned sound problem.
2003-12-16, 11:48 AM #1
Code: 
selected:
   source = GetSourceRef();

   // Setup the meshes and models.
   jkSetPOVModel(source, povModel);
   jkSetWeaponMesh(source, weaponMesh);
   SetArmedMode(source, 0);
   jkSetWaggle(source, '10.0 7.0 0.0', 350);

   mountsound=PlaySoundThing(mountSound, player, 1.0, -1, -1, 0x80);

   // Clear saber flags, and allow activation of the weapon
   jksetFlags(source, 0x5);
   SetCurWeapon(source, 10);

   Return;


Player is defined above as "player=getlocalplayerthing();" in startup: message.

What'll happen is the sound plays the first time you turn the saber on. For the rest of that game, it doesn't play. I have no idea why.

Shouldn't you assign the mountsound in the symbols section?
Code: 
symbols

   sound   mountSound=sound.wav

end
#==========================
code

selected:
   source = GetSourceRef();

   // Setup the meshes and models.
   jkSetPOVModel(source, povModel);
   jkSetWeaponMesh(source, weaponMesh);
   SetArmedMode(source, 0);
   jkSetWaggle(source, '10.0 7.0 0.0', 350);

   PlaySoundThing(mountSound, player, 1.0, -1, -1, 0x80);

   // Clear saber flags, and allow activation of the weapon
   jksetFlags(source, 0x5);
   SetCurWeapon(source, 10);

   Return;

I got rid of the mountsound= before PlaySoundThing(mountSound, player, 1.0, -1, -1, 0x80);

Havn't tested, I'm at a comp without JK/MotS, but that seems like it should work.

Isn't 'source' in your 'selected' message the player? I could be wrong, but you're setting up internal meshes. If source is the player, just use source to play the sound.

Whoever pointed it out - GOOD call.

mountsound=playsoundthing(mountsound, player...

So mountsound is defined as the wav the first time, and the actual in-game sound the rest of the time.

It sould be. Mountsound was both assigned as the sound wav AND the int dummy thing (mountsound = blahblahblah [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] in the symbols section. It plays the sound, then assigns it to the mountsound var, overwriting the "whatever.wav" data stored in the variable. As long as they aren't the same name, it should work fine.
Oh, to help find these problems (and others, too), get a hold of Parsec and other stuff like Datamaster and Scribe at Sabersdomain.

I believe a "whoops - oh bugger, silly me" quote is applicable, in this situation [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

As Slaw points out, it won't do to have them as the same name; for example

(minimal condensed version of script...)
Code: 
symbols
int    mountSnd=-1  local
sound  mountSound=sound.wav
end
#
code
selected:
    mountSnd = PlaySoundThing (mountSound, *other normal params*);
return;
end


This way you have a designated channel as an int data-type (and as a handle), whilst still being able to use the cog verb "PlaySoundThing()" with the sound wave you desire [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Hope this has helped [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

PS: As much as the DataMaster is invaluable for verbs and flags, as I'm sure you're well aware Checksum [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif], I feel I must second Slaw's mention of "Parsec" for debugging [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] Chances are high that it would have picked up on this...

Yeah, I just can't get Parsec to work for some reason.

Problem solved, though.
