Waving in the wind ...

(nUllSkillZ) #1

Hi,

I have had the idea to enhance SD’s idea of environmental sound-effects to general environment-effect’s.

Just as info:
In “Goldrush” a dog barks and a cock crows in some areas of the map.

Shutters could wave in the wind (actually I 've had this idea as I 've played Dubrovnik yesterday evening).
Doors could slam.

Triggered by several triggerzones that en- and dis-ables each other.
So that the effect isn’t triggered every time from the same place.

I think I haven’t seen this yet in (ET)-MP-maps

sounds good but how many different script_movers entity and script routines can you run at the same time before the game speed starts to suffer?

cant you just do it with sps?
ingame with that /editspeakers stuf?

If I’m following this right, null means that the clappers on the windows would be slamming, a door would be slamming also, and stuff like that, which would be cause by wind. Cool idea, btw, but, I don’t think there would be an ability to trigger all of those script_movers at different times. Maybe with “alter_entity” once the triggering for the first one would be done, but then again…I’m still a dummy when it comes to script_movers -_-’ …

the speaker editor utility is very nice and it allows for what you’re trying to make. It has a random setting also which plays a sound file at random time intervals, the bounds of which you can specify.

I mean that you also can see the shutters move for example.
And not only hear them.

That’s easy enough, you just trigger the SPS at the same time as starting the animation.
Easy for doors and other stuff - I use this for the shutters in Helmsdeep above the main gate.
