How does the Playsound command work? I've been messing with it for a while, but I can't seem to get it to compile, my syntax is terrible.

I want a script that plays the secret sound effect when you trigger a perm. trigger. I'm quite confident I'd be able to do it (I think), but I just can't get the command to work.

Use:

Game -> PlaySound(n);

where n is the reference to the sound you want to play.

Thankyou NoeL

And I wrote my first script

CODE

ffc script sound_effect{
    void run(int SFX){
        Game -> PlaySound(SFX);
    }
}

Rather basic but there we go

[NoeL]

... why did you make SFX a parameter though? As far as I'm aware no data is passed into the "run" function.

I would have used something like

CODE

ffc script sound_effect
{
    void run()
    {
        int SFX;

       // some code here to set the appropriate sound

        Game -> PlaySound(SFX);
    }
}

So that it's an argument in the FFC, so I don't have to rewrite the whole script if I want to use a different SFX. If you set integers in the void run command, they're variables that you define via the arguments in the FFC.

[NoeL]

Ah cool! Thanks, I was wondering how to access those arguments I feel silly now, I should have thought of that.

Good job joe! It's not so bad, right!?

Here's one thing you should know. That ffc will run once and then stop.

CODE

ffc script playsound{
    void run(int sfx, int sfx2){
// here's one idea,
//in a boss battle play a sound if link gets hit or link hits the boss
        int boss = LoadNPC(1);
        int hurt = Link->HP;
        while (true){
            if( Link->HP<hurt){
                Game->PlaySound(0);
                hurt = Link->HP;
                }
            if(boss->HP<MaxHP){
                Game->PlaySound(0);
                boss->MaxHP = boss->HP;
                }
            Waitframe();
            }
        }
    }
}

//Loads of other cool ways to change what sound plays too. What'd you have in mind?
            

This one will keep playing the sound whenever conditions are met. Although you're going to have to change it a bit.
And post some script stuff at AGN, the scripting forum needs some livening up!

I have been! noone replies

And thanks for that, but I only needed a SFX to play when I entered the screen anyway. And you can change the noise that a boss makes when it gets hurt via the SFX editor nowadays without needing a script

Ah, but what about them ffc or custom bosses, plus I think a boss that says something everytime he hurts Link would be neat.

Huh?! Maybe I missed it then...

[Joe123]

I'm the last person to post on two of the scripting forums over at AGN, and have been for 3 days on one of them and 4 on the other

Although I think scripting custom bosses is a little advanced for me...
