I need

i need a prefab.. i need to trigger a sound, say once every 30 seconds or so... actually one i can set the reset time for many different sounds..

thanx

Me is willing to help :smile:

Meh, Orph m8. I dont understand why u cant use mm's, Its only a case of adding target names & time delays. :/

cause i am stupid?

been telling you so for years now..

next question, how does one load a sound, that is legit, but refuses to load?

i have checked paths and typo's several times, but still recieve messages "unable to process crtnoise.wav" or "unable to process steamjet1.wav"

your smart enough to use mm's m8. I think uve just got confused somewhere for some reason, It doesnt do anything but target other entities.

Its the other entities that should be trouble.

Basically,

make a mm
alt+ret it for properties
Enter a target name, like m00
turn off smart edit
click "add"
underneath "key" - enter the name of the entity you wish to tgarget
underneath "value" - enter a time

example m00 & 0.1 targets the entity named m00 after 0.1 of a second.

so if you wanted to target a light & a sound, the sound would be named m00 & the light would be m002 - All you would have to do is repeat what you did with m001, except change the "key" name.

umm....shouldnt this be in editing?? :heee:

id say make sure all yer audio parameters are right,,,hl beddy picky 'bout minor sheit....

.....and, if yer so inclined, id be happy to mess with it a bit, call it OJT... i did a pretty radical mm setup for kona_razz , if you remember that far back pops... :heee:

yes, IF it were an editing inquiry, i want a prefab, one that repeats a sound, ever so often :biggrin:

i do appreciate the assist korn, but this map is driving me nutz, i dont want to clutter things with a lesson in MM's

i know you are right, i should have the sense to grasp it, but....

anyways, i need the prefab.

send me what you have for entities involved, or a little rmf of what you have man....i wanna play....

You'll still have to edit it, of course, but that is the basic setup.

ok, the scenario.. i am adding a few dozen sounds to the pitcrew map.

a few are looped, crickets and wind for example.. but i want birds and jets.. and they just dont work looped.. who ever heard of an unending bird chirp :sad:

still, i have sounds that refuse to load, and worse yet, sounds that give no error messages, BUT dont play

as i said, i am at my last thread on the pitcrew map.. after these sounds and getting yaks teleporters to work ( never figured out why he didn't finish them ) all i will need will be feedback on items and whatnot.

thanx mike, i can edit almost any MM setup, just have issues creating one with my own stamp upon it :sad:

double take

Oops, I thought you just wanted a looping sound setup. Bah, it was a late night......

Anyway the prefab for continuously looping sounds can be used for playing a sound at intervals too: just make the time longer.

Other options include using a trigger_multiple to trigger the sound when players walk by. I always felt this was a little cheesy myself but...shrugs

For a really show-off solution, use a random trigger effect (the beams thing).

I just fixed one of these bugs. Try to convert the WAV into the original HL format: unsigned, 8bit, mono, one start cue, 11025Hz PCM

CoolEdit is a good program to use for this. There's a free version with all the features, and it does a decent conversion job. This is most probably the solution.

fragman, i am using stock sounds from HL, should i still attempt to convert one?

that sounds odd..

No, you definitely don't. (I feel like an idiot )

Bah. That's all I knew, assuming you used forward slashes and the right path :razz: runs

MMs hardly require a lesson. They may seem abit daunting, i remember i wasn't to fast to embrace it but korn explained very easily how to do it and this entire process would no doubt be faster if you had the ability to do it yourself.

There are some things you just learn to accept by experience. Orph's MM hangup is one of them :biggrin:

Er, anyway, it's fixed now.

people act as if i relish the thought of my stupidity, dont assume i didn't try to learn MM's.. after all i have been mapping for 5 odd years now..

i just always seem to screw the dog somehow.. and i really have to little time to wonder how, or where at..

snarkpit is the repository of knowledge, if i cannot get what i need out of it, after all i have put into it.. then i will do without my MM.. no harsh words, just do without..

this map is just being a bitch, i would rather not have to take that out on the snarkpit member list.. if getting a simple MM prefab is to much to ask.. so be it.

Screwing the dog aye. Well no wonder they don't work.

Also this prefab will show you how to work them as well... right?

Well said. Whilst I prefer to learn as many things as I can for myself, there is a limit. In my case, the limit in HL is coding (well....sort of).

Why not make use of the resources available? If there's a prefab that does the job, then use it (with credit of course).

edit to an extent, my prefab shows how to work MMs. Download it and see :smile:

MM = multi manager right? thats like level 10 for a newbie like me...

not really, if you are receptive to them, you can get them.. i have seen no end of n00b's make functional MM setups.. it is just depressing to think i cannot as well..

anyways, gollum did the trick.. problem solved.

Give me a few lights, player starts, and func_illusionaries, and I'll never touch any other entity again.

You know, there's very little in life that is worse than having a bunch of internet geeks telling us that they're 'fapping' :rolleyes:

Well whatever it is, it probably came from over "the pond" :heee:

its because of people like you, that i support lobotomies :biggrin:

You support lobotomies? Wow, how much revenue has the industry made from you? :biggrin:

I dont even know what lobotomies are!!

Too late, you must have had one :wink:

darn
