Sensor (trigger) for a sound effect

Anhor · December 12, 2016

How does a trigger looks like for a sound effect?

Whats my opinion: play a sound if a player enters a defined area, nothing else

What I know, no need of explanation:

need a ogg file

set it to description under sounds

All I wanna know is how looks the trigger in mission.sqf

Thx a lot for help!

Shak · December 12, 2016

I don't know about sounds that you've defined in your description.ext, but to use a trigger to play one of the default game files is easy.

At the end of your init.sqf

execVM "custom\sounds.sqf";

sounds.sqf

_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [4745.3726, 9848.3877, 0]];
_this setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
_this setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "arabian_market_4"];
_trigger_8 = _this;

_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [4748.3286, 9843.6758, -3.0517578e-005]];
_this setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
_this setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "arabian_market_3"];
_trigger_9 = _this;

_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [4728.0806, 9877.7363, 0]];
_this setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
_this setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "arabian_market_2"];
_trigger_10 = _this;

_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [4731.271, 9873.1924, 0.00012207031]];
_this setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
_this setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "arabian_market_1"];
_trigger_11 = _this;

_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [4735.2783, 9866.6201, 0]];
_this setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
_this setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "Muslim_prayer2"];
_trigger_12 = _this;

That code is just from the test we ran, can't find the final product sorry.

But basically if you get near the defined area you'll hear those noises. Made a pretty cool atmosphere for my mates 'Taki Trader'.

To place the trigger in the editor, just start like you'd normally do for adding buildings, but instead of the F5 key for vehicles use the trigger one instead.

Hope that helps.

Hey Shak, I´m pretty thankfull for that!

Unfortunately, it is not quite what I am looking for. To better explain what I am about:

class Sensors
    {
        items=3;
        class Item0
        {
            position[]={9478,0,4458};
            a=100;
            b=100;
            activationBy="WEST";
            repeating=1;
            interruptable=1;
            age="UNKNOWN";
            name="radzone1";
            expCond="(player distance radzone1) < 150;";
            expActiv="TitleText[""The radiation counter starts clicking..."",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = true;";
            expDesactiv="TitleText[""The radiation dose decreas..."",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = false;";
            class Effects
            {
            };
        };

This is a sensor in mission.sqf ......... as you can see he gives a text message to the corresponding client that triggered him.
That is exactly what I want to achieve ....... just with a sound instead of a text message.

Since I have actually no idea of scripting, at any rate I think that, my question to the specialists ........ is this possible?

so you want to execute a custom sound in a place, not a existing sound from arma2oa.

Get the trigger working ........... very nice .......... the reaction of players are priceless *lol*

Another question ....... I hope I do not get on the nerves ......... it is impossible to set more than radzones?

I have three, but only the last is working. Here´s my code from the mission.sqm

			expActiv="TitleText[""The radiation counter starts clicking..."",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = true;";
			expDesactiv="TitleText[""The radiation dose decreas..."",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = false;";
			class Effects
			{
			};
		};
		class Item1
		{
			position[]={6475, 0, 9304};
			activationBy="WEST";
			repeating=1;
			interruptable=1;
			age="UNKNOWN";
			name="radzone2";
			expCond="(player distance radzone2) < 80;";
			expActiv="TitleText[""The radiation counter starts clicking..."",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = true;";

			class Effects
			{

		};
		class Item2
		{
			position[]={3951, 0, 8458};
			activationBy="WEST";
			repeating=1;
			interruptable=1;
			age="UNKNOWN";
			name="radzone3";
			expCond="(player distance radzone3) < 100;";
			expActiv="TitleText[""Here is a strange radiation!"",""PLAIN DOWN""]; DZE_Quarantine = true;";

@juandayz , what should I say? It works! And the effects are awesome!

You´re a legend! Thx again for your support.

juandayz · December 16, 2016

dont worry was funny make it : have the druggs effect by smoke hemp mode.

@Anhor you can make a new post in mod sections about it.. to be used by others.

looter809 · December 16, 2016

Hey guys, I don't think the answer is in here for what I'm looking for.

Is there anyway to make a sensor on an object instead of a location? For example, I'm trying to get a snowman to sing to players. The players can deploy the snowman, so the location could be anywhere. And I have tried to use

if(_cursorTarget isKindOf "MAP_snowman") then 
	{
		_snowman = SNOWMANZ;
		s_player_snowman = player addAction [("<t color=""#00FFFF"">" + ("Do you want to build A SNOWMAN?!?")+"</t>"),"location\etc\snowmanSing.sqf",_snowman, 5, false, true];
	} else {
		player removeAction s_player_snowman;
		s_player_snowman = -1;
	};

But I have noticed that the snowman can not be seen by cursorTarget. So i'm now trying to make it a sound trigger, so whenever you are within 5 meters of a snowman it will sing.

Any idea?

try :

};

go to init.sqf

find:

execFSM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.fsm";

below add:

//portables clay	
[] execVM 'custom\snow_init.sqf';

in your description.ext add the class sound "snowsing" and create snowsing.ogg

then if works well,, every snowman in server will play a song if is a player around 5 mts

juandayz · December 17, 2016

@looter809if u gonna use deployanything to deploy the snow man... and you wanna use cursor target in fn_selfaction to start the sound then.

1-set the snowman deploy with deploy anything mod.

2-open your fn_selfactions.sqf and find:

if ((_cursorTarget isKindOf "Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ") && {speed player <= 1}) then {

above it: paste

if ((_cursorTarget isKindOf "MAP_snowman") && {speed player <= 1}) then {
if (s_player_deploysnowman < 0) then {
    s_player_deploysnowman = player addAction ["<t color='#00FFFF'>Do you want to build A SNOWMAN</t>", "location\etc\snowmanSing.sqf.sqf", [], 5, false];
    };
} else {
    player removeAction s_player_deploysnowman;
    s_player_deploysnowman = -1;
    };

now again in selfactions find:

} else {
	//Engineering

below paste:

player removeAction s_player_deploysnowman;
    s_player_deploysnowman = -1;

snowmanSing.sqf

Spoiler

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

in description.ext

if u dont have class sound:

find:

aiKills = 1;
diagRadio = 1;
diagHit = 1;

below paste:

class CfgSounds
{
snowsing[] =
    {
    snsing
    };
    class snsing
    {
    name="snsing";
    sound[]={location\etc\snowsing.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };    
};

if u already have a class Cfgsounds just paste inside:

snowsing[] =
    {
    snsing
    };
    class snsing
    {
    name="snsing";
    sound[]={location\etc\snowsing.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };

create the snowsing.ogg and drop into location\etc

looter809 · December 17, 2016

@juandayz I'll try the first suggestion.

But for the second suggestion, I tried it and the snowman is not seen by the player's cursor. You can visibly see it, just not detect it from cursorTarget. I can test this by pressing "I" with infiSTAR on the snowman and it doesn't do anything, where as pressing "I" on something like a house or a vehicle or even the

MAP_t_picea1s

from the xmas tree script shows what it is in the systemchat

looter809 · December 17, 2016

the sensor worked. thanks! I think i like it better than the scroll option anyways. Merry christmas, and thank you!

looter809 · December 18, 2016

Anyway to make the song only sing to the person triggering it? It's nice to know it possible to have it sing globally, but right now I can hear the snowman song from 800m away when a player triggers it.

try

playSound "snowsing";

or

 [objNull,player,rSAY,"snowsing",30] call RE;

looter809 · December 19, 2016

The

[objNull,player,rSAY,"snowsing",30] call RE;

did not work, however; the

playSound "snowsing";

did work. Thank you once again Juan!

yup, i not sure but i think playsound is only local. so i guess only the player near of the snowman will listen the sound.

for all players maybe u can try:

_nul = [objNull, player, rSAY, "snowsing",30] call RE;
