How to play sound for one (or two) player(s)

[Abid Almashni]

Hi evryone. I'm working on a project. and there is a specific area I want to play a sound for but only for one team and not for evryone els. I seen some threads but I didd'nt usderstand them. could you help.

Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player (0) then
Sound - Play (Sound)
Custom script: endif

-----------------------

Player(0) means Player Red in this example.

You could use a trigger like this :

• Play sound at location
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of myLocation)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in myPlayers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Sound - Play mySound at 100.00% volume, located at tempPoint with Z offset 0.00
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

I tryed that but it was not what I wanted.

Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player (0)
Sound - Play (Sound)
Custom script: endif

Player(0) means Player Red in this example.

I tried that but i get this

What am I doing wrong?

What do you exactly want to achieve ?

My previous code means to play a sound for a group of players at a specific location, what do you want more ?

Edit : For the other code I think there is a "then" missing, correct line would be

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player (0) then

I want the sound to start playing when someone enters a location not at the location. sorry

This is kind of basic but just in case it's new to you: In the Sound Editor, you need to set whether the sound is marked as 3D or not.

If it's a 3D sound -> It has to be played on a location, it won't play otherwise.
If it's not a 3D sound -> It has to be played normally (not on a location), it won't play on a location.

So Step 1, mark it 3D or not based on how you want to play it.
Step 2, have your trigger play it (on a location or not) based on whether it's 3D.

Ehm, why don't you just change tempPoint variable to :

• Set tempPoint = (Position of (Triggering Unit))

This works assuming you did what @JackKessler said on his post.

I added a ''then'' and It works perfectly thanks

 

[Swatosj]

I added a ''then'' and It works perfectly thanks

This will only works for Player 1 not for a group of players as you wanted in your first post.

 

[Abid Almashni]

And thanks to evryone who wanted to help.

 

[Abid Almashni]

This will only works for Player 1 not for a group of players as you wanted in your first post.

I know what to do from here

 

[Abid Almashni]

In order to do it for teams you have to set the sound for the players you want it to playe for. EXAMPLE: player 1 would be this

And player 2 would be somthing like this

and remember to put custom script: endif

That's how I know to do it, it may take time but it works.
If there's an easyer way feel free to tell me.

This is not really how it should be done in my opinion.It is painful to develop, if you want to add one condition or action in the future you will have to manually copy everything for every trigger.

Besides, you are playing a sound for everyone here and you wanted to play a sound only for a team.

You should pick a sound in the Sound Editor -> Right Clic -> "Use as sound" and check "3D sound" is enabled.

A trigger that plays a sound for a every player in a team when a unit from this team enters the region may be :

• Play sound for a team
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Set tempLocation = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equals to (Matching player)) or (((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of (Matching player)) Equals to TRUE))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == GetEnumPlayer()) then
        • Sound - Play CUSTOM_SOUND at 100.00% volume, located at tempLocation with Z offset 0.00
        • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLocation)

When you are using the "Sound - Play" function alone, it will play the sound for everyone.

Tell me if this clear for you

Yes it's clear. I was about to post another reply on how to do it for all players at the same time, but this way is better and more orginized.
Thanks. But I wont use a 3d sound or that trigger FYI

 

[Abid Almashni]

My stupid way is like this

You stack'em up like that and put as many "endif"'s as there is player's
for example: five players means five "endif"'s

I think you forgot GetLocalPlayer usage here, since Player Group stuff is pointless and you just play same sound at same position N times, and to all players.

 

[Swatosj]

This should make the trick, this solution only implies a simple trigger.

• Play sound for a team
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equals to TRUE
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • -------- Play a simple sound for the owner of the unit and his team --------
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equals to (Matching player)) or (((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of (Matching player)) Equals to TRUE))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == GetEnumPlayer()) then
        • Sound - Play YOUR_SOUND <gen>
        • Custom script: endif

Yes indeed, I've fixed the previous code
