walking on grass

[wordgames]

I would like to make an actor walk on the grass, as he does i want to make the sound of grass moving,
i have a sound for file that, but when he walks on it and I jump it still plays the rest of the file, should i make the sound byte extra short or is the a way to make the grass play the sound only when the actor is on the grass

maybe you could try
Player
Collision(any side of grass)->play sound(your grass sound)

plz tell me if you didnt understand that.
Hope it works!

here, lemme help ya:
first make a variable called "grasssound" (think u know how to do that )
Then for your player goes: Collision -> any side of grass -> (Script Editor)

Code: Select all

grasssound = PlaySound2("C:\\your-grass-sound.wav", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);// here u can click on the action from the list


Then Collision finish-> grass -> (Script editor)

Code: Select all

stopSound(grasssound);

the code was not liked, what do i change in it?

wordy

without bothering u ( step by step would be great) what do i do again?

[Freddy]

Thats what colision finish is for!

[wordgames]

still confused

the code grasssound = PlaySound2("C:\\your-grass-sound.wav", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);// here u can click on the action from the list

Does not work

i guess i take out ... here u can click on the action from the list

and change this ... C:\\your-grass-sound.wav to my sound file location

but still says error

Did you create 'grasssound' as a variable?

[wordgames]

i only put 2 s's in the name silly me
it worky

[wordgames]

but theres more...

as u see in the picture the grass is long, so how i do i get the sound to stop as the sctor stops walking in the grass, but is still in the grass

Here's how I achieved a similar thing for an engine sound:
In the draw actor script, have a variable (soundon) to check wether or not the sound should be playing. Test if you are in the grass and moving. If so, then set it to 1. If not, leave it at 0. Somewhere towards the end of the script, use this:

Code: Select all

if (soundon)
{
    if ( grassound == 0)
    {
        grassound = PlaySound2("C:\\your-grass-sound.wav", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);// here u can click on the action from the list
    }
}
else if (grassound)
{
    stopSound(grassound);
    grassound = 0;
}

confused again it just turned the sound off completely

so a little more detailed for this newbie

and u needed to put the extra s in grasssound

[Kalladdolf]

Oh, come off it!!!!!!!!
no, just kiddin'
here's a ge file, very simple but u need a kinda short sound for that, otherwise add the code that I showed u.

grass.zip

I have a couple questions as well. I dont understand the collision event, when grasssound = playsound2. The other question is, when you go like:
if(blablabla)
{
if(blablabla)
{
if(blablabla)
}

is that just the same thing as:
if(blablabla && blablabla && blablabla)

?
