How Can I Raise Sound Volume?

[theDARKW0LF]

I have it so a script triggers a sound when I enter an area, but the sound it plays, "scare_loon_single.snt", is so very quiet, and I can barely hear it over the music I have playing on the map. Is there any way to make the sound louder?

I have one more question... Is there any way to get another one of my triggered sounds to loop for a certain amount of time? The one I'm trying to do this on is "scare_wood_creak_walk.snt", because if it doesn't loop, all you hear is one or two footsteps, and I wanna hear more than that!

You could simply copy the sounds, then make them louder in a sound editor, or turn down the music.

Use timers.

Sounds simple enough, I just need to know what exactly goes into the three fields in the "AddTimer(string& asName, float afTime, string& asFunction);" string. Obviously the time goes into the middle field, but what name would I put in the first field, and what do I put in the last one? Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Oh, and would the time be in seconds? So if I put in 2 it'd play for 2 seconds?

EDIT2: It looks like I also don't know where I am to be putting the AddTimer function, under the "void CollideWalkSoundTrigger1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)"?

Time is in seconds, yes.

Code: (Select All)

void CollideWalkSoundTrigger1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    float delay = 0.5; //Time between the sounds
    int times = 3; //Number of times to play the sound
    
    for(int i = 1; i <= times; ++i)
    {
        AddTimer("", delay * i, "TimerPlayTheSound");
    }
}

void TimerPlayTheSound(string &in asTimer)
{
    //Play the sound here
}

Sorry for my great lack of knowledge , but is this how I should have it look then?

    for(int i = 1; i <= times; ++i)
    {
        AddTimer("", delay * i, "TimerPlayTheSound");
    }
}

void TimerPlayTheSound(string &in asTimer)
{
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_wood_creak_walk.snt", "Player", 3, false);
}

Yes, but isn't 3 a little too long? You do know that's the fade-in time, right?

Oh is it? I thought it may be fade-out time, guess I never paid attention, lol. What is a more suitable time to set it to?
