[Blue Link 2007]

I really dont know how to describe this in words, but this is what I hope to have. I want somebody to come up with a script that makes Link have more than one sound effect play when he swings his sword, and all of them playing in a random order.

A good example of this is in the origional Game Boy games, where Link had (I think) 4 different sounds for him using his sword. Each sound played randomly when he swung his sword.

Sorry if this is confusing, but if it is possible to do this, I would like to put it in my quest.

Hmm...

When you copy it into the TXT file, be sure to replace the underscores with spaces. Also, replace 1? with the number of the first SFX, 2? with the 2nd, 3? with the 3rd, and 4? with the fourth. Sorry about making you have to edit it, but because it's an item script there is no other way to customize the sfx it plays.

_COMPAREV gd0,0
_GOTOTRUE SND1
_COMPAREV gd0,1
_GOTOTRUE SND2
_COMPAREV gd0,2
_GOTOTRUE SND3
_COMPAREV gd0,3
_GOTOTRUE SND4
_COMPAREV gd0,4
_GOTOTRUE RESET
SND1 PLAYSOUNDV 1?
_GOTO END
SND2 PLAYSOUNDV 2?
_GOTO END
SND3 PLAYSOUNDV 3?
_GOTO END
SND4 PLAYSOUNDV 4?
_GOTO END
RESET SETV gd0,0
_GOTO END
END ADDV gd0,1
_QUIT

Basically, you'd just need a script that randomizes a number, and, depending on that number, makes different sounds. I'll whip you up one real quick-like... Done.

CODE

import "std.zh"
item script SFX
{
    void run()
    {
        int RandomNum = Floor(Rand(1) * 4);
        if (RandomNum == 0.0)
        {
            Game->PlaySound(30);
        }
        else if (RandomNum == 1.0)
        {
            Game->PlaySound(60);
        }
        else if (RandomNum == 2.0)
        {
            Game->PlaySound(61);
        }
        else if (RandomNum == 3.0)
        {
            Game->PlaySound(62);
        }
    }
}

That SHOULD work. Save it as a *.z file (When saving in Notepad, type the name of the file, then ".z"), and import it into ZC. Compile it, set SFX 60, 61, and 62 to the SFX you wish to use.

Edit: Oh darn, Revfan got it before me. But MY version requires no editing at all.

Yes it does, 'cause you used brackets instead of parentheses in your function calls.

Huh? *checks*

Oh darn, you're right. But I could've SWORN I had used brackets for PlaySound.... Oh well.

Edit: And please, fill me in on why brackets and parentheses have to be used differently for different functions.

If something uses square brackets, it's not a function at all, but an array. An array is basically a group of variables that are stored together and accessed using the same name.

I've been kind of wanting this feature. So yeah nice job.

This is regarding the topic:

Will the script work if I just import it, like, at any random place?

EDIT: Oh yea, ITEM SCRIPT, heh, my bad.
