Title: Engine sound when trying to drive
Post by: Wildebeest on 12 Mar 2005, 18:29:10

Hi!

Is there a way to determine wheter a guy is trying to drive a vehicle? I want a vehicle that is out of gas to make a start engine sound when you try to use it.

thx..

well, a trigger:

condition must be:

           fuel car1 <=0.2 && bob in car1

Activation could then be a sound effect, either selected from the trigger's own list of sounds
(ye could create yer own addition to the list), or a playsound (pre-defined in the missions descr.ext file)  :-*

           car1 say "MySound"


later

Or you can use the engine eventhandler:

Code: [Select]

? fuel _car <= 0 : _car say "startup"
exit

should work similar to the bug with BAS's chopper startup sounds (where if you tried to start it up when it was out of fuel).

Yes, it does. Read again. Use an engine eventhandler:

this addeventhandler ["engine",{if (_this select 1) then {[_this select 0] exec "script.sqs"}}]

script.sqs will be the script I showed, plus the defination of _car which is = _this select 0  (_car = _this select 0).
