So i decided to be smart and made an item script that change the sfx of a bomb being place. I ran without luck because it seems that the "original" sfx of a bomb being place still ran on top of the script i made.

CODE

Const int SFX_BOMB = 0;//Sfx sound to play when a bomb is placed

item script sfxbombplaced{
        Void run(){
    Game->PlaySound(SFX_BOMB);
     }
}

help asap!

Why don't you just change the sound effect directly with the sound effect editor? I don't think you can prevent the original sound from playing with scripting.

[Christian]

Because i want to reserve that spot for a sound effect to play everytime i press a button on the active subscreen to select an item. And yes there is a way, by making scripted L_WEAPON bombs. But im not that experienced with zscript yet.

Script bombs.
That's what I did.

[Christian]

I'll try to script an L_WEAPON bombs. It will take me a bit long, while I learn how to script more in depth..but it should'nt be that difficult to do anyways.

I thought you could change theitem SFX in the item editor? I could be wrong though.

If not, then why not just switch the order of the sfx for those two sounds? move SFX_21 to the 70 (or whatever) slot, and have slot 21 custom.

No you can't, it only has the"explosion" slot in the item editor. That's the only sfx you can change from the bombs item...

As far as switching the sfx slot to have slot 21 custom..I believe you can't do that. If I make slot_21 to have the sfx to play when I select an item, then that same sfx slot will be used each time a bomb is placed.

The only way around it, is if I create scripted bombs just like joe suggested

Hehe, That's right. The bombs should have two action sfx, not one. Perhaps was overlooked in the implementation of the editor.


But, you know that you can overwrite any existing sxf right? They're not really hardcoded into the game as they're kept neatly in sfx.dat.



I will say that rescripted bombs have a certain flair to them.

You can? How the hell do you do that??

[Joe123]

You can, but it's certainly not worth your effort.

Re-scripting the bombs just for the sake of having two different SFX probably isn't either though; you need a section in your global script to change the damage the explosion deals too otherwise they'll deal 0 damage.

I scripted mine so that they'd fall down when Link's on Epona; I wouldn'tve done it just for the sake of the sfx.
It is quite nice to have the item not dissapear from the subscreen when you have no bombs left too though admitedly.

[Christian]

You're probably right. I have to admit, that sfx that plays everytime you choose an item on the subscreen, its quite annoying. Can't stand it. But hey there's nothing we or i can do to change that. Or if the developers decide to give us another slot for a custom selector item. ^_^.
