Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt. Thanks for the help, I will look at that.The funny thing is, I don't usually have trouble with this, this kind of stuff is kind of below me in ability, but for some reason I just couldn't think of a way to do it.Also, I couldn't find the function to play a sound with a specific slot, that was my problem.Thanks for the help...

Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt. Yeah. Fox, I also feel like you need to check out game programming in practice part 2 (Virus attack tutorial) because it also does a decent job of showing you how to actually use sound pool.

Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt. The play methods in the sound_pool return an int, for the slot the sound is played in. Have the enemy remember that, as in post 6.

Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
I am not sure what you mean. Consider this code//I haven't written bgt in a while and thus cannot guarantee error-free code
enemy@ enemies[];
class enemy
{
int x, y, sound;
enemy(x, y)
{
x = x;
y = y;
sound = p.play_3d("enemy.ogg", me.x, me.y, me.z, x, y, z, true);
}//cf
}//cc
//A sample enemy loop.
//Keep in mind that our enemy has a sound slot that they're holding onto for us to use later.
void enemyloop()
{
for (uint i = 0; i < enemies.length; i ++)
{
p.update_sound_3d(enemies[i].sound, enemies[i].x, enemies[i].y, enemies[i].z);
}//cl
}//cfI should also note that calling update_sound constantly is a bad idea, primarily because your enemy won't move each iteration of the loop. Personally, what I would do is create the enemy class and add a "can_move" method to it that checks if it can move and if so, moves them wherever they need to go. An example using that logic is belowenemy@ enemies[];
class enemy
{
int x, y, sound, movetime;
timer movetimer;
enemy(x, y, mvt)
{
x = x;
y = y;
movetime = mvt;
sound = p.play_3d("enemy.ogg", me.x, me.y, me.z, x, y, z, true);
}//cf
bool can_move()
{
if (movetimer.elapsed >= movetime) return true;
return false;
}//cf
}//cc
void enemyloop()
{
for (uint i = 0; i < enemies.length; i ++)
{
if (enemies[i].can_move() == true)
{
//moving logic goes here
p.update_sound_3d(enemies[i].sound, enemies[i].x, enemies[i].y, enemies[i].z);
}//ci
}//cl
}//cfThis should make your code faster overall when dealing with large groups of enemies on a map.

Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt. ok, and how do you play a sound using a specific slot, by the name of enemys[i].sound?

That is assuming that you have Sam's modified 3d sound pool, otherwise you will be forced to stick with 2d

Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Re: Enemy update sound question for bgt. yes but how do I make it just update the p sound_pool position for that specific enemy.In the enemyloop function I have a for loop that goes through all the enemies and then does all the things, but how would I make it update for enemys[i]?

Enemy update sound question for bgt.
Enemy update sound question for bgt. So I'm trying to make a simple enemy, just to see how it works, and for some reason, I can't quite figure out how to make it play a loop over it that moves with it.The enemy moves completely randomly, full 3d, so it moves forward, backward, left, and right, and 45 degrees maybe for higher level enemies. And I want them to play random loops for each enemy, but I don't know how to have the loops stay on the enemies. Please help?
