How to add custom sounds? in Scripting

Created on: October 09, 2016, 05:49:42 am

Hi, I want to be able to add custom sounds, but I don't really understand the "user_aliases.csv" file, how can I make it so a file located in my usermaps/zm_mapname/sound directory plays once, and once only at 100% volume.

I already have:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maxammosnd,,,usermaps/zm_bestbox/sound/maxammo.wav,,,UIN_MOD,,,,,BUS_MUSIC,,,,,,100,100,,,,,,,,2,oldest,,,1,1,,,,,,2d,,,NONLOOPING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

And it's being activated with:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = GetPlayers( player.team );

		for (i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
		{
			primaryWeapons = players[i] GetWeaponsList(); 

			for( x = 0; x < primaryWeapons.size; x++ )
			{
				players[i] PlayLocalSound( "maxammosnd" );
				players[i] notify( "zmb_max_ammo" );
				players[i] GiveMaxAmmo( primaryWeapons[x] );
			}
		}

However when I go into my map and purchase it, the sound dosen't play.

I've also tried:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

playsound( "maxammosnd" );

You have the sound file in the wrong location. It should be in root/sound_assets/[any folder name you want]/
In your user_aliases.csv file, paste the following on a new line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

[ANY_SOUND_ALIAS_YOU_WANT],,,[folder_name][file_name_with_extension},,,UIN_MOD,,,,,BUS_MUSIC,,,,,,100,100,,,,,,,,2,oldest,,,1,1,,,,,,2d,,,NONLOOPING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the playsound code, use the sound alias you made.

Also, get rid of the brackets in the example.

You could try this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

PlaySoundAtPosition("maxammosnd", (0, 0, 0));

instead of

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players[i] PlayLocalSound( "maxammosnd" );

I also found too that if you encounter an error pop up in relation to your alias file when compiling the map then it doesn't allow the alias file to work at all. SO double check that.

Hey how do I add a second sound? I copied the exact same thing and pasted it on the second line but changed the file location and alias, but it dosen't work:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maxammosnd,,,bestbox/maxammo.wav,,,UIN_MOD,,,,,BUS_MUSIC,,,,,,100,100,,,,,,,,2,oldest,,,1,1,,,,,,2d,,,NONLOOPING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
papcamosnd,,,bestbox/papcamo.wav,,,UIN_MOD,,,,,BUS_MUSIC,,,,,,100,100,,,,,,,,2,oldest,,,1,1,,,,,,2d,,,NONLOOPING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
