Re: [hlcoders] Sound only playing when player is not touching the ground
Hmm...apparently Yahoo mail doesn't like to reply to the list anymore when I
hit reply. So I couldn't find anything particularly interesting in
CSoundPatch. I also did some more testing, and things just got more confusing.
Apparently, the sound will work when I'm standing on some surfaces, but not on
others. I wasn't able to find any sort of pattern among the surfaces it did
work on versus the surfaces it doesn't work on.

Have you checked the code behind m_sndCannonCharge???
Might be something there.

Hi,
So I'm trying to give a weapon a charge up sound like
the gauss gun on the jeep, and so I pretty much just copied
and pasted the relevant bits of code to play the sound.
However, the sound will only play when the player starts
shooting while they aren't touching the ground. If the
player is touching the ground, the sound doesn't play.
Well, actually, it claims the sound is playing, but I never
hear it.
CPASAttenuationFilter filter( this );
m_sndCannonCharge =
(CSoundEnvelopeController::GetController()).SoundCreate(
filter, entindex(), CHAN_STATIC,
Tau.GaussCharge, ATTN_NORM );
assert(m_sndCannonCharge!=NULL);
if ( m_sndCannonCharge != NULL )
{
DevMsg( Playing sound\n );
(CSoundEnvelopeController::GetController()).Play(
m_sndCannonCharge, 1.0f, 50 );
(CSoundEnvelopeController::GetController()).SoundChangePitch(
m_sndCannonCharge, 250, 3.0f );
}
The relevant soundscript entry:
Tau.GaussCharge
{
channelCHAN_STATIC
volumeVOL_NORM
soundlevelSNDLVL_NORM
wave
)weapons/gauss/chargeloop.wav
}
I've tried using a couple different channels for the
sound, but with no luck. Any ideas what I might be doing
wrong?

Re: [hlcoders] Sound only playing when player is not touching the ground
I only have suggestions but they are worth a try.
Change your CPASAttenuationFilter filter( this ); filter to NULL or a filter
which has no rules to see if its a bad filter, and if that's the problem
then figure out what isn't passing.
If its not that then check if CHAN_STATIC is causing the problem, change it
to CHAN_WEAPON for example.

Re: [hlcoders] Sound only playing when player is not touching the ground
Aha, got it to work by doing CPASAttenuationFilter filter( GetPlayerOwner() );
Though it makes me kinda wonder what it was about filter( this ) that didn't
always work correctly.

Re: [hlcoders] Sound only playing when player is not touching the ground
'this' is the weapon itself, so perhaps when it adds players by PVS, it
doesn't find your player because the player isn't in the weapons PVS.
