Two things I want to check are possible.

 

First, can the game know when a sound is going to be played?

What I mean by this is if I'm killing an enemy, does the game know the sound is playing?

 

Second, can a script be used to silence the sound effect before it plays?

To the first question: No, not really. I mean, you can do stuff like detect that an enemy was just killed, and assume that a sound will be played cuz that's what happens when enemies die, but you can't detect the actual sound being played.

Similar deal with the second question. To silence a sound effect, you'd basically need to rescript the condition that creates it and use your scripted, no-sfx version instead.

I'm guessing that creating a new, duplicated enemy that doesn't have a death sound effect is off the table for this particular situation?

[klop422]

Yes, it is. I'm trying to get an item to not play the item jingle when you pick it up (so I can use a custom one for a specific item), for picking up the Master Sword.

Best solution I can come up with right now is to duplicate the 'Get Item' sound, silence the original, and make every item play the duplicate when you pick it up.

 

EDIT: Didn't realise I could change the "hold up item" sound in the screen data. Oops.

I think there was something else I wanted to try with this, but I can't remember.

yes, but you have to import the sound, then set it.   Some boss have roar's. That is a sfx.

So you just have to set it, the zc does the rest.

So say you want a monkey enemy, you could make a wav of a monkey sounds. And a different sound for dying. Just lable it, and the set them.

Again, make a silent wav file. and import via quest>audo>sfx

I personally diss like the sfx that plays during a message string. So thats what I do, just lable it string sfx

no scripting is needed. See above.

 

Addendum I suggest to make wav, mp3s use audacity, its freeware

No, the issue is not that I want to replace the sounds with silent ones (that would solve many, but not all problems), but that I want to make sounds that would normally play not do so. For example, if I wanted the sword to normally make a sound, except in a specific room when standing on a specific tile, then I'd ideally be able to silence the sound effect for just that position.

 

I do wonder if you can change screen data for sound effects using scripts, though.
