Unit SAY!

[GingaWRATH]

I am having problems making a Unit Scream.

My Idea is using Eventhandler killed or Hit run a script with _unit say "scream"

Ive got no error msgs and also No SCREAM!  

My event handler inside each units INIT field = this addeventhandler ["hit", {_this exec "aier\scream1.sqs"}]

My script =

_unit = _this select 0

_unit say "scream"

exit

Im so confused

[GingaWRATH]

Just incase you was wondering I run my scripts for the scrams from another folder "aier". thats why the script is ran "aier\scream1.sqs"

Erm just wondering if you have defined the sound scream in your description.ext?

[GingaWRATH]

I think so..

A dead unit cannot say anything, and you are only activating the say command when the unit is dead.

Could this be the problem?

[GingaWRATH]

Well ive tryed Hit as my handle but still no response

[THobson]

The hit may kill him.

Try playsound instead of say

The direction and volume of the sound will not be correct but it would at least rule out this as a problem

[GingaWRATH]

Sry actually it could be the D.EXT ive just retryed with out and No error msg sry

[GingaWRATH]

Maybe you can tell me whats wrong with it. I have 12 different screams named s1 -s12.  ( that might be a prob right there lol)

Hmm just had a look at your description a bit different to any of mine. Are you having problems with any of your other sounds?

[GingaWRATH]

The Playsound worx but still no Say

[GingaWRATH]

do u think i need a .lip file?

I doubt this but i use _unit say "eng1"-"42" all the time and these all have .lipfiles with them. (found in the Sound.pbo file)

[GingaWRATH]

Ive shot the guy 1 time with the script set to _unit say "eng20" (for the gogogo sound)

and it repeates gogogo 1 time giving me 2 gogogos 1 after eachother hmm. But at leat this worx so im veryconfused as why s1 dont

[GingaWRATH]

Im almost out of Ideas. I got some Kickass Screaming Here..

Maybe I could try one of your D.ext just for my brains sake.

I thought you found the answer.  Playsound works - so you have no problem with the sound file or description.ext.

Say does not work with dead units and you want a dead unit to scream - it won't happen.

Try creating a Game Logic at the location of the unit at the point of death and get the game Logic to say the scream.
