car sound when unlocking your vehicle

[Eugene]

Hi all.

by the requests of people...

I show how it done on my local server (with my folder paths), replace it with yours.

1. Find your desirable sound and convert it to OGG format - in my example it is signalka.OGG. Place this file in to MPMission folder : D:\SteamGamesLibrary\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_24.Napf\signalka.ogg

 

2. add to D:\SteamGamesLibrary\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_24.Napf\description.ext  reference to  new sound file : http://pastebin.com/P1FYvLjy

 

3. Almost all of you use scripts like selfbloodbags , then you have script fn_selfActions.sqf in your MPMission,

3.1. Extract scripts lock_veh.sqf and unlock_veh.sqf from dayz_code.pbo to  (in my case it D:\SteamGamesLibrary\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_24.Napf\Scripts )

3.2. in your MPMissions fn_selfActions.sqf replace references to extracted scripts (lock_veh.sqf and unlock_veh.sqf).

Part of new fn_selfActions.sqf :   http://pastebin.com/QgHM4k5e

 

4. Modify extracted scripts lock_veh.sqf and unlock_veh.sqf like this:

lock: http://pastebin.com/v7EiUerT

unlock: http://pastebin.com/n8JYivtq

 

5. start server.

 

Additional bonus - car lights will be flash when car lock\unlock

 

 

 

PS: sorry for my english.

Awesome! 

Thank you! :)

I'm using local_lockunlock.sqf for this. This way you can add lock and unlock in to same file and I would guess that several people already have this file redirected for disabling tow/lift for locked vehicles.

Very neat little snippet. I love small details like this that gives each server it's own little touch.

 

I noticed this script only plays the sound locally. Anyone know how one would go about to make the sound play for everyone in the vicinity?

_sounddist = 20;
_nul = [objNull, _vehicle, rSAY, "lock", _sounddist] call RE;

[Eugene]

what is parameter "lock" ?

[Sukkaed]

what is parameter "lock" ?

[Eugene]

Thank you. I thought it was not possible to make sound effect global in arma2  ( in arma 3 playsound will have  global effect)

[cen]

_sounddist = 20;
_nul = [objNull, _vehicle, rSAY, "lock", _sounddist] call RE;

 

Where is this added?

 

Also can you share your lockunlock.sqf?

[Eugene]

The sound effect became global. But it is heared from about 800m from vehicle. It is too much. How to reduce range of sound effect? 

I try   reduce _sounddist  to 2m, but it dosnt take effect.

[Sukkaed]

Sound which is in my case "lock" has to be defined in description.ext under class CfgSounds. You can set audible range in CfgSounds and after that range sound starts fading, the farther you go from the vehicle. Here is how I do it in local_lockUnlock.sqf. This way you don't need to be the "owner" of the car to play that sound, like it's in OP and doesn't play the sound before you get on driver seat once.

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

if (local _vehicle) then {
	if(_status) then {
		_vehicle setVehicleLock "LOCKED";
		_vehicle setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled",true,true];
		player action ["lightOn", _vehicle];
		_nul = [objNull, _vehicle, rSAY, "lock", 50] call RE;
		sleep 0.5;
		player action ["lightOff", _vehicle];
		titleText ["LOCKED = Can not be lifted or towed","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 4;
	} else {
		_vehicle setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";
		_vehicle setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled",false,true];
		player action ["lightOn", _vehicle];
		_nul = [objNull, _vehicle, rSAY, "lock", 50] call RE;
		sleep 0.5;
		player action ["lightOff", _vehicle];
		titleText ["UNLOCKED = Can be lifted or towed","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 4;
	};
};

Can you show how you set audible range in CFGsounds ?

Works great man!

Seems that people can hear the sound from 500-600m away :O

:)  How much you have volume for that sound in CfgSounds?

 

{

        name = "lock";

        sound[] = {Scripts\sounds\lock.ogg,0.2 <-- this one here ,1};

        titles[] = {};

};

[cen]

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] =  {carlock};
	class carlock
	{
		name = "carlock";
		sound[] = {carlock.ogg,1.0,1};
		titles[] = {};
	};	
};

[RipSaw]

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] =  {carlock};
	class carlock
	{
		name = "carlock";
		sound[] = {carlock.ogg,1.0,1};
		titles[] = {};
	};	
};

 

Yeah lower that 1.0 to something like 0.2 or 0.1 and that should fix your issue

Awesome, thanks guys!

[Eugene]

I'm pretty happy with mine. Took two seperate sounds off some free audio site and used Audacity to merge it and trim it down. So shoutout two the guys who jingled his keys and unlocked his car in front of audio recorders and put it online.

 

You can download it here.

It's an .ogg format which I guess not all media players support. Either open it with a multi-format media player like VLC or implement the script and try it out ingame.

tahnkz for this it workz great
