Scare your players

Don´t Work Go To post #8 

 

Scare your players with this little script

 

 

 

1.

Make a file and call it monster.sqf

private["_rand_player","_chance","_spawnroll"];

///////////////////Config////////////////////////////
_chance	= 33; // Percent chance 0 - 100 ////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

_rand_player    = playableUnits call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_spawnRoll		= round(random 100);

if (_spawnRoll <= _chance) then{

	if((isPlayer _rand_player) && (alive _rand_player)) then {

		playSound "monster";
                sleep 5;
        };
};

 

and place it in the modules folder in your dayz_server.pbo

 

 

 

2.

In your Init.sqf in your mission folder (DayZ_Epoch_XX.XXXXX)

 

find EpochEvents

 

and add 

               ["any","any","any","any",33,"monster"]

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",10,"Military"], ["any","any","any","any",34,"monster"],["any","any","any","any",25,"Treasure"], ["any","any","any","any",15,"Supplyitems"]];

3.

 

Add this to the description.ext file

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = 
	{
          monster
        };
class monster
	{
	name="monster";
	sound[]={monster.ogg,0.3,1};
	titles[] = {};
	};
};

just before

         class RscLoadingText : RscText

 

4.

unzip the attach file and put it in your mission folder (DayZ_Epoch_XX.XXXXX)

 

All Done

 

Come and vissit my Chuck Norris approved server

ip: 5.103.68.98

Port 2302

monster.zip

[Gr8]

_nul = [objNull, player, rSAY, "monster"] call RE;

I dont know if this will scare the player, but will make other people near him and laugh and reveal his position.

 

Use something like this :

playSound "monster";

Thanks to [GG] Ghostz Gamerz 

Now i have updatet my script :)

[Halvhjearne]

Use something like this :

playSound "monster";

 

i dont think that will work when he is running this serverside, he would need to use a publicvariable then ...

oh yes, I forgot about that. But with public variable, how do you make it local? 

 

I would just suggest using a client side script.

no need to strain the server with anything unneeded like this imho...

[RimBlock]

Why not leverage object_speak.sqf already used for playing sounds in A2 Epoch.

 

It will accept

_unit
_type
_chance
_dis (distance) 

 

and is called with (for example)

[player,"tentpack",0,false] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

If you have a process running on the server which 'selects' a player then it can calls it with a 100% chance.  If any units in range are non local (to the server) it will fire a RE: to play the sound on the other players clients so everyone in the area gets the sound.

 

Now, _unit need not be an actual player but could be some coords [x,y,z] so the sound could be played to anyone in range of a specific place.

 

Wolf howl in the center of a dark forest, for example, for anyone close to hear.

 

Detail on the RE (Remote Execution) framework can also be found here if you are interested.

 

If the mechanisum is already there, why not use it.

1.

Make a file and call it monster.sqf

private["_rand_player","_chance","_spawnroll"];

///////////////////Config////////////////////////////
_chance	= 33; // Percent chance 0 - 100 ////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

_rand_player    = playableUnits call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_spawnRoll		= round(random 100);

if (_spawnRoll <= _chance) then{

	if((isPlayer _rand_player) && (alive _rand_player)) then {

		playSound "monster";
                sleep 5;
        };
};

and place it in your custom folder.

 

2.

 

copy your

 

                local_lockUnlock.sqf

 

from your Dayz_code.pbo to your costum folder in your mission folder (DayZ_Epoch_XX.XXXXX)

 

3.

add

     

        [] execVM "custom\monster.sqf"

 

to the local_lockUnlock.sqf

 

so it looks like this

private ["_vehicle","_status"];
_vehicle = _this select 0;
_status = _this select 1;

if (local _vehicle) then {
	if(_status) then {
		_vehicle setVehicleLock "LOCKED";
                [] execVM "custom\monster.sqf"

} else {
		_vehicle setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";
	};
};

4.

 

in your compiles.sqf find

 

          local_lockUnlock = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lockUnlock.sqf";

 

and change the hole line to

 

         local_lockUnlock = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\local_lockUnlock.sqf";

 

5.

 

Add this to the description.ext file

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = 
	{
          monster
        };
class monster
	{
	name="monster";
	sound[]={monster.ogg,0.3,1};
	titles[] = {};
	};
};

just before

         class RscLoadingText : RscText

 

4.

unzip the attach file (from my first post) and put it in your mission folder (DayZ_Epoch_XX.XXXXX)

 

Dont know if this is the perfect way but it works  :)

better than having the server do it imho ...

 

else it will just generate a bunch of unneeded and unwanted network traffic slowing down the overall performance of connection and server ... it was like going around the moon to reach the bakery down the street.

When or where is this suppose to work in game??

 

what do i do with sounds[]={monster}; what i mean is what about all the other sounds i have. they have been working with just sounds[]={}; with nothing in the {};

Should i put each class behind monster like monster, DoorCreak, and so on? 

My question may be clear as mud, so if you need more information, let me know.

The following are my sounds

 

class CfgSounds

{

    sounds[] = 

{

          

        };

 

 

class DoorCreak

    {

name="DoorCreak";

sound[]={sounds\doorCreak.ogg, 0.1, 1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class metalGates

    {

name="metalGates";

sound[]={sounds\metalGates.ogg, 0.1, 1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class stronghold

{

name = "stronghold";

sound[] = {sounds\vrata_sound.ogg,0.1,1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class vendingmachine

    {

    name="vendingmachine";

    sound[]={Vending\vendingmachine.ogg,0.9,1};

    titles[] = {};

};

 

};

[meanbeandk]

add this before the last "}"

 

 

class monster
    {
    name="monster";
    sound[]={monster.ogg,0.3,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };

Can anyone please tell how to make it so the monster sound is heard by other players as well?

You would need to send the event to all players which then play the sound localy. 

 

Unnecessary trafic in my opinion though.

[ElDubya]

Damn .... I know the carlock sound script plays the sound so that everyone can hear it. I thought it might be an easy fix :(

It's not hard. And don't call it a 'fix'. Extra 'feature' is more the word for this. 

 

Fixes sound like the scripter broke the script. Which is 80% of the cases just installation mistakes if the installer says it in a forum post :p

[ElDubya]

Ok :)

 

Would you care to show me how to enable this "feature"? Please? :)

[choppra]

You don't need to use public variables for this.
