Virtual Objects, Triggers and Scripts?

[Ghost Graphic Designs]

Hi.

 

I would like to know if it's possible (I'm almost sure they all are):

1. Force a squad vehicle to disable the headlights when inside a VO (and enabling when it's outside that VO).
2. Force a VO to change from "Freely Accessible" to "Barricade" with a trigger (by squad vehicle).
3. Play a looped sound while the pump switch (from the Limited Water Supply mod) is active.

I also request some guidelines on how to do this. Just tell me what to edit and I'll do it, I'm kind of experienced with script editing.

 

Thank you for reading.

I am not used to the Scripting language used for EM4 but I have been trying figuring out the pump loop as well. I have not tested this but after quickly searching through some code I have found that the thing that could make it loop is the addition of "soundID ="

 

Number one is a sample from the Water Switch script for the limited supply and number two is for the Communication vehicles in Brooklyn mod (Which the Audio loops for). Apart from the endings (CarPos and Get Pos) which I believe are just the positions so shouldn't make a difference to looping, the only difference is the "soundID =" part. Number three is the edit I would try, I could be wrong but who knows

 

1) Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/FX/misc/pump_on.wav", v.GetPosition());

 

2) soundID = Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/Ambient/FirehouseRadio.wav", CarPos, true);

 

3) soundID = Audio::PlaySample3D("mod:Audio/FX/misc/pump_on.wav", v.GetPosition());

Unfortunately, what your doing requires a constantly checking script that would eat a considerable amount of FPS. Instead I propse this:

• In your ToStation script, when the vehicle is in the station at the start of the game, disable its headlights. Then when you send them out through a script, enable their headlights. Then when you send them back into station, disable their headlights. These are all manually done and not automatically when the vehicle leaves the VO. Use this code:
  

  void EnableHeadLights(bool enable_);

• For the trigger thing, it isnt possible in normal freeplay. The game does not recognize triggers in freeplay, only mission scripts. So you'd have to just set it manually instead of relying on a trigger.

  bool SetVirtualObjectTerrain(const char* terrain_);

This is cool because you can kind of control the headlights and it would make it more realistic when the headlights turn off when you return to station

Well, I use this for playing and stopping a 3D sound for my Automatic Fire Alarm script, playing then stopping the sound.

int x;x = Audio::PlaySample3D(Sound3D, obj->GetPosition(), true);obj->SetUserData(x);

int ref = Target->GetUserData();Audio::StopSample(ref);

The SetUserData might conflict with the functioning of whatever script you're adding it to.

Yeah, I exactly that with my alarm and ToStation scripts (headlights on/off and engine sounds aswell).  About the VO, I had an idea and I'm going to try something out with LA Mod's ToStation script...

Alright, thanks.

OK, thank you! I'm gonna take a deeper look into that, I'll keep you posted.

As far as I'm aware with regards to looping audio of a static source (not moving) you use the code above but change the "true" to "false" as that specifies whether the audio should loop. That's the logic I went off anyway

Hello everyone,

 

Can you introduce me how to make the animated gate can auto open and close when the vehicle is coming nearly and go far away, i tried to create Trigger but it;s nothing changed

Name the trigger and the gate the same thing and make sure the gate has the animations open and close
