I was wondering if it is possible to change the track from enhanced music in zelda classic with scripting. What I need is for it to change the track when enemies are on the screen and change it back when they are all defeated. In the gbs files, I have about 40-50 tracks, and I have to make a new dmap each time I want the music to change.

Also, I need a script that plays the walking in water sfx when link walks in shallow water.

Thanks!,

EDIT: I realized that the title was a bit too long and it cut off the "in Shallow Water" part.

For request #2 (untested):
See below for fixed script

If you don't know how to combine global scripts, put the const int line near the top, and the parts from int splashTimer from splashTimer++ inside your while(true) loop.

Shouldn't this have something to check if link is on CT_SHALLOWWATER and if he's walking? It doesn't look like it checks for those two. I'll test it though.

[MoscowModder]

OMG MEGA FAIL. I meant to include that. I forgot. Sorry. Fixing Fixed.
Try that ^^

It compiles, but doesn't work. Also, make sure that it only plays the sfx when you are walking. If you already have that part added in there, sorry. I'm just used to seeing Link->Action=LA_WALKING and Link->Action!=LA_WALKING.

Man, I've seriously been embarrassing myself in my latest scripting attempts.

Okay. This one is tested and worked in my test quest.
As soon as Link gets into the water, the splash sound plays, and then repeats every 10 (configurable) frames. When Link stops walking or leaves the water, the timer resets so it plays again when he next moves.

After I wrack my brain for possible improvements I might even submit this to the DB.

CODE

import "std.zh"

const int splashFreq = 10; //Number of frames between splash SFX

global script waterSplash{
    void run(){
        int splashTimer = splashFreq;
        while(true){
            if( Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(Link->X+7,Link->Y+15)] == CT_SHALLOWWATER
            && Link->Action==LA_WALKING
            ){
                if( splashTimer >= splashFreq ){
                    Game->PlaySound(SFX_SPLASH);
                    splashTimer = 0;
                }
                splashTimer++;
            }
            else splashTimer = splashFreq;
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

By the way, the last version checked if Link's position changed to run the sound effect, as I wasn't thinking of Link->Action at the time.

Hi

Do you Sepulcher or MoscowModder mind if i also use this script?

Edited by judasrising, 25 January 2012 - 05:28 PM.

[MoscowModder]

I don't mind at all.

[judasrising]

I don't mind at all.

Thank you.

And Sepulcher what do you say?

[Xenix]

Fine with me! I mean, it is MoscowModder's code

[judasrising]

Fine with me! I mean, it is MoscowModder's code

Thank you

It was your idea

[Xenix]

ugh, it's still not working. it's not playing the sfx. >__<

Edit: Can I send you the qst file?

Minor update: now checks for water in the middle of Link's feet instead of the middle of his left side. Also, I submitted it to the Script Database.

Concerning your first request - given ZC's very rudimentary support for Enhanced Music, I'm going to guess that it's not possible. It would be possible with MIDIs, though.

Could that be modified to work with Tall Grass (Continuous) as well as shallow water?

[Russ]

Yup, and only one line need to be changed.

CODE

import "std.zh"

const int splashFreq = 10; //Number of frames between splash SFX

global script waterSplash{
    void run(){
        int splashTimer = splashFreq;
        while(true){
            if( Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(Link->X+7,Link->Y+15)] == CT_TALLGRASS
            && Link->Action==LA_WALKING
            ){
                if( splashTimer >= splashFreq ){
                    Game->PlaySound(SFX_SPLASH);
                    splashTimer = 0;
                }
                splashTimer++;
            }
            else splashTimer = splashFreq;
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

There ya go, basically the same script, only it'll play an sfx for tall grass instead of shallow water now.
