Help me with script dialogs (for SP) in Mapping

Created on: January 11, 2017, 05:26:12 pm

Hi.

Advise me please.
as i think that i have problem with soundaliases. I see many forums and other sites about this topic but it's no helped me, and I do not understand.

This is example how i want to do:

Such moment.

I want to make a dialogue for my allies actors. the like code examples working in all standart maps named_anim.gsc
into CoDWaW (SP):

---------------------------------------------

Code Snippet

Plaintext

load.scr_anim[nameactor_from_radiant_named][animname] ="%ch_named_actor_animation_(form_xanim_folder) ";
//chatting
load.scr_sound[nameactor_from_radiant_named][animname] = "name_sound_from_soundaliases";

--------------------------------------------

and i write so code for dialogue (animation + sound):

//////////// in main gsc i insort:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_anim;
#include maps\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;

main()
{

flag_init( "player_spawns_soldier" );
flag_init( "sgt_reaches_trigger" );
flag_init( "soldier_reaches_trigger" );

thread heroes();

//wait for soldier to reach his trigger after spawn
flag_wait( "soldier_reaches_trigger" );
}




heroes() {

flag_wait( "player_spawns_soldier" );

//we have to wait a small instance so game recognizes ai existance
wait 0.15;

level.chernov = getent( "pvt. Chernov", "targetname" );
level.chernov.animname = "intro_cher";

flag_wait( "soldier_reaches_trigger" );

//wait a bit for seargant to be alive in game
wait 0.15;

level.Reznov = getent( "sgt. Reznov", "targetname" );
level.Reznov.animname = "intro_rez";

}



//////////// and this code insort to my map _anim.gsc :


#include maps\_anim;
#include maps\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main() {

setup_level_anims();
audio_loader();
}

////////////////////////////////////////////// this code /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
setup_level_anims()
{

//lets wait for sargeant to reach his trigger
flag_wait( "sgt_reaches_trigger" );

//wait for a bit so it looks like they regroup
wait 0.75;

level.scr_anim["Reznov"]["intro_rez"] = %ch_seelow1_reznov_runandcaugh;
addNotetrack_dialogue( "reznov", "Ber3_INT_000A_REZN", "intro_rez_01", "Ber3_INT_000A_REZN" );
level.scr_anim["chernov"]["intro_cher"] = %ch_seelow1_intro_chernov;
addNotetrack_dialogue( "chernov", "Ber3_IGD_028A_CHER_A", "intro_chern_01", "Ber3_IGD_028A_CHER_A" );

wait 0.15; //pause2

}

audio_loader()
{

level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_01"] = "See1_INT_011A_REZN01";
level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_02"] = "See1_INT_013A_REZN02";

wait 0.2; //pause

level.scr_sound["chernov"]["intro_chern_01"] = "Ber3_IGD_028A_CHER_A";

wait 0.2; //pause

level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_03"] = "See1_IGD_148A_REZN03";
level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_04"] = "See1_IGD_149A_REZN04";
level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_05"] = "See1_IGD_300A_REZN05";
level.scr_sound["Reznov"]["intro_rez_06"] = "See1_IGD_058A_REZN06";
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but still this code don't working.

CoDWaW doesn't show any errors when loading this map .

the map starting complite and i walking in the map and Chernov and Reznov spawning - ok,
but they don't talking both

Help, what could be the problem, at least understanding of the causes.
code like as a "self playsound (....);" - no interest because then actor speech without animation lips

You will need a function to actually tell your ai to do dialog.
Check ber3_util.gsc and look for "say_dialog" and "is_active_ai" functions and paste them both into your mapname anim gsc

Ex
Level.scr_sound ["sarge"] ["speaker1234"] = "speaker1234";
Level.sarge say_dialog( "sarge", "speaker1234", true ,true,false);
//
There is also a function called play_generic_facial( sound, looktarget)
If you pass the player as looktarget it will face the player then say the dialog with lip sync.

Another working example with addnotetrack_customdialog thats closer to what your trying to do.

hi!
I No all understand a little.
Can you write a simple such code how it might look like full code, please.
Just there are moments you mentioned in your post, I have never seen and I'm confused)

Thanks you

over this function - addnotetrack_customdialog.
I saw her use in the standard maps (the missions) but probably this - addnotetrack_customdialog need include something else for working because in my example isn't working for - addnotetrack_customdialog.

The error in your script is that you are calling say_dialog() in your first funtion on nothing. There could be other errors that i didnt see.
//
Heres another way to do anims and voice for ai. Its not synced so you will prob need to edit the waits in the gsc. With this and the gsc linked in my previous post you should be able to get it working. Both were tested have instructions and work independently.

I think heroes like roebuck talk quotes with subtitles and other spawner guys use random voices but this worked for a spawner to talk.

I don't think there is an xanim viewer but you could export tanims with tombmx program and apply them to a skeleton/mesh in maya to view.

Ok. Thank you.

But how to understand that an actors look in animation moment?
Just these animation names me little understood.
So I interesting a program on the Internet, view animations but easy to use, only))
it for able understand how need us an animation names for some moment in map.
Previous your script, which you included in the post, I checked (it worked, if actors is no spawners). And there at start of the map, when the actors run through a wall in the map and there speech, and next they run meet location.
I understand that it such a strange animation using here when they run away somewhere.
So, I interesting how understand what the animation fits what not

Can i using an other animation for this last script?

don't " casual_stand_idle,, " series

And last moment.

How can I make that actors go to the location for speech
Roebuk and Polonsky.

Example:
we have a two cover_stand_node and we need that our actors go to the cover_stand_nodes and when they get this cover_stand_nodes after starting speech but no early. (each cover_stand_node for each actors)
but now, actors talking anywhere but not where need the location

I want to make such so show in the figure above
