How to reset event in WAC file?

sgt roc - 11-23-2007 at 08:39 AM

I would like to be able to have wac file play a .wav whenever blue team enters in it. my text right now is:

if ssnarea(10000. 1) and never() then
wave("xxxxx.wav")
endif

I have tried creating event in MED:

event 0

group / area trigger

blue team/ area 1

and resetting event in 5 seconds.

I hoped wac would read med editor and play .wav file next time I moved into area 1.

I deleted and never from the wac commands and of course it keeps playing.

can you help me. thanks, roc of coopvets

I think there are 2 methods for your desire event action.
1 method is by mixture of MED & .wac event.
Another method is only by .wac script.
I post both ideas as samples.

Method - A : Mixture of MED event & .wac.

Code:

- MED event ; 
[If Group 1 is into Area 1, Mis-Var#1 is set to 1 per 5 sec.] 
Event 0: Event 0
  Reset after 5 seconds
Triggers:
    Group 1 is within area 1
  Actions:
    Set Mission Var#1 to 1

- .wac ; 
[If Mis Var#1 is equal to 1, .wav will be played & Mis Var#1 will be reset to 0.] 
if eq(V1, 1) then 
     wave("xxxxx.wav", 100) 
     set(V1, 0)  
endif

Method - B : Only by 2 .wac events. This is without MED event.

Code:


if false(V1) and elapse(5) then
     PLOOP
          if ssnarea(player, 1) then 
               set(V1, 1) 
          endif 
     END 
endif 

if eq(V1, 1) then 
     wave("xxxxx.wav", 100) 
     set(V1, 0)  
endif
;// If 1 or more human player be into Area 1,  xxxxx.wav file will be played per 5 counts (means approx. 5 sec.).

Please try which one as your prefer. =)~~~
xxxxx.wav won't be played if nobody be into Area 1.

Also, I post another idea as an advanced.

This makes playing dialogue .wav from the mouth of 1 player who is into Area 1.
Little modify the method - B. This is by only .wac events.

Method - C : Advanced. .wav will be heard from the mouth of 1 player who is into Area 1.

Code:

if elapse(5) then
     PLOOP
          if false(V1) and ssnarea(player, 1) then 
               set(V1, player) 
          endif 
     END 
endif 

if true(V1) then 
     SSNwave(V1, "xxxxx.wav", 150)   
     set(V1, 0)  
endif
;// If 1 or more human player be into Area 1,  xxxxx.wav file will be
played from someone be in Area 1 per approx. 5 sec.

Legionnaire=M=, how does the PLOOP work in the WAC? Is it similar to a LOOP in regular coding; that is it loops until the question has been answered?

Legionnaire=M= - 11-29-2007 at 09:27 AM

Yep, it is looping for checking human players as you say; 'is there someone under "IF trigger" or not?'

I'm not familiar with it yet.
