How do I script a sound to play on a loop upon button pressed?

[Corehound]

Hey everyone :thumbsup:

 

I'm currently working on a mod where I need an armor to play a custom sound in a loop to imitate heavy footsteps, but only on key pressed.

 

I basically have all the lines I need, but I can't seem to find out how I make the sound loop with a specific interval, at the moment I basically get spammed by the sound, with the sound sounding like it loops about 200 times per second :confused:

 

Any way to adjust this? :unsure:

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

if you just need to add a delay, then timer loop might do it, something like this maybe...

 

float NameTimer

Begin GameMode
set NameTimer to NameTimer + GetSecondsPassed
If NameTimer > 1
PlaySound Something
Set NameTimer to 0
Endif
End

 

Haven't tested it, but it looks like it should work.

This is basically the script I have, that I need to integrate with the delay.

 

scn CTPCMech02SoundMoveSCRIPT

Begin GameMode
	Playsound CTPCMech01SoundIdle01SOUN
Endif
	if iskeypressed 17
		playsound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
Endif
	if iskeypressed 31				
		playsound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
Endif
End

 

So where do I fit the "if iskeypressed 17" part into the code you mention? :unsure:

 

Also the "NameTimer", do I leave it like that, or am I to replace this with a custom name of my choosing? :unsure:

 

Sorry for the many questions, been looking for a solution for this for some time now :tongue:

Hmm, now it's an untested mod of some untested code, and it's limited to both keys having the same sound and both sounds having the same loop time, but this might work. (I should be able to re-write it later if needed, for now it's a bit rushed).

 

scn CTPCMech02SoundMoveSCRIPT

float CTPCTimer

Begin GameMode
set CTPCTimer to CTPCTimer + GetSecondsPassed
If (CTPCTimer > 1)
	if (iskeypressed 17) + (iskeypressed 31)
        	playsound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
	else
		Playsound CTPCMech01SoundIdle01SOUN
	endif
Set CTPCTimer to 0  
      	Endif
   
End

 

Questions are what the forum is for :) I just put Name in there as a placeholder for whatever prefix you use, so I've replaced it with CTPC for this version. You can make variables with whatever name you like as long as it doesn't conflict, though a well organised standard makes it so much easier.

This actually what I ended up with:

 

scn CTPCMech02SoundMoveSCRIPT

float WalkTimer

Begin GameMode
if iskeypressed 17
	set WalkTimer to WalkTimer + GetSecondsPassed
		if WalkTimer > 0.68
	PlaySound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
		Set WalkTimer to 0
Endif
Endif
if iskeypressed 31
	set WalkTimer to WalkTimer + GetSecondsPassed
		if WalkTimer > 0.68
	PlaySound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
		Set WalkTimer to 0
Endif
Endif
if iskeypressed 16
	set WalkTimer to WalkTimer + GetSecondsPassed
		if WalkTimer > 0.68
	PlaySound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
		Set WalkTimer to 0
Endif
Endif
if iskeypressed 18
	set WalkTimer to WalkTimer + GetSecondsPassed
		if WalkTimer > 0.68
	PlaySound CTPCMech01SoundRun01SOUN
		Set WalkTimer to 0
Endif
Endif
End

Works like a charm, the difficult part actually turned out to be getting the timing correct, as the delay had to be timed with the movement of the legs and the feet touching the ground :thumbsup:

 

Thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction, I was completely lost on this script, so you've really saved me a headache on this one :happy:
