Can sounds be played for single players?

[Dinah]

ok i guess the title eyplains itself:
I yust wanna know wheather (and how) i can let a sound play wich only one player can hear?

 

[xD.Schurke]

y with this

• Actions
  • set player = Player1(red)
  • Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer == udg_player) then
  • Sound - Play Sound
  • Custom script: endif

all actions which are now between the custom scripts are only for player 1

well i know WE is sometimes a bit strange when using jass codes

WE wants to disable my trigger using this because of "endif expected"

you just have to convert the whole trigger to jazz I assume and put this for actions.

 set player = Player1(red)
if (GetLocalPlayer == udg_player) then
 Sound - Play Sound
 endif

hmm i don't like to because in my opinion Jass triggers are not as easy to edit (i'll need to add things to it) as gui ones ...
can i write the whole script in one line instead?

There is a BJ function for that already. StartSoundForPlayerBJ(), takes player and sound handle, I believe.

i have heavy problems when using jass codes :/
in 90% percent of the cases my WE had problems and shuts the trigger down ...

 

[Rui]

That happens because you're using it wrong. Which does not surprise me, I forgot to tell you some things about the function and it's method of use.

function StartSoundForPlayerBJ takes player whichPlayer, sound soundHandle returns nothing

Let's analyze the function. It asks you for two arguments:

1. The first argument, player whichPlayer, is the player who will listen to the sound.
2. The second argument, sound soundHandle asks for the sound you want to play.

call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(Player(0), gg_snd_Hint)

This is an example. But you ask, who the hell is player 0? Well, in JASS, Player 0 is Red (Player 1 in GUI), and Player 1 is Blue (Player 2 in GUI), and so on.
Two more important things you need to know: first, the sound has to be declared in the Sound Editor, otherwise the World Editor will reply to you that it was expecting a name. Second, as you (might) have noticed, there's a ''gg_snd_'' before the actual sound name. When referring to your sound, you use it like this:

gg_snd_YourSoundName​

One last note, you cannot use spaces. Spaces are also underscores ('_').

Here is a GUI (Trigger) example:

• Example
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(Player(0), gg_snd_YourSoundName)

If you have any questions, be sure to post them.

ok thanks you this works but there's still one question ...
I want so use a global variable instead of Player(0) but when using:
call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(MyVariable, gg_snd_MySoundName)
or
call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(udg_MyVariable, gg_snd_MySoundName)

WE says again it's expecting a name -.-

 

[Rui]

The variable is used through "udg_VariableName". Also, if it is expecting the name, it's because the sound isn't declared. Note that JASS is case sensitive. ''gg_snd_Hint'' would not be the same as ''gg_snd_hint'' I believe.

Maybe your variable name has spaces? I remind you that a variable name such as ''Player Variable'' would be ''udg_Player_Variable'' in the script. Same for the sounds.

 

[Dinah]

Works, thanks

Simply do all the sound code out of global sync for just the one player. Basically use GetLocalPlayer() to do this. I think that is what the BJ does in the first place.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Ofcourse not, that is just one large syntax error as Player only takes 1 paramater which in an integer.
You would have to call the function 3 times, once for each player to do what you want.
