LUA: Playing a sound for a specific player only

[uber-noob]

Bani, in your answer to the request from RoadKillPuppy to add a et.G_SlotSound() function here: http://wolfwiki.anime.net/index.php/Tal ... ua_Mod_API you said that we can do this with tempentities. I tried it with ETPro 3.2.5, and although I know how to do this in game code I can't get it to work with LUA. There are multiple points of failure:

I can't get ps.origin from the client entity as this field is unknown to LUA.

I can't spawn the tempentity with SVF_SINGLECLIENT or EV_GLOBAL_CLIENT_SOUND as event, and as there seems to be no documentation related to the available events I'm stuck on this.

And I can't set s.eventParm on the tempentity as this fiel is also unknown to LUA.

Just for comparison, this is how it works in game code:

Code: Select all

snd = G_SoundIndex("somesound.wav");
tempent = G_TempEntity( ent->client->ps.origin, EV_GLOBAL_CLIENT_SOUND );
tempent->s.teamNum = (ent->client - level.clients);
tempent->s.eventParm = snd;

This is how I tried it within LUA:

Code: Select all

soundindex = et.G_SoundIndex( "somesound.wav" )
origin = et.gentity_get ( clientNum, "ps.origin" )
tempent = et.G_TempEntity( origin, SVF_SINGLECLIENT)
et.gentity_set( tempent, "s.teamNum", clientNum )
et.gentity_set( tempent, "s.eventParm", soundindex )

What did I wrong, or isn't this possible with the current LUA version?

I have to bump this one up the ladder as I never got this working for playsound.lua...

i'll poke at this when i get some time. maybe gotenks or im2good wants to make use of their uber lua skillz and try it.

wel the simpel way is

Code: Select all

et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientnum,"mu_play sound.wav")

ill add it to da wiki whne i remember it (i might be muplay instead)

the prob of this simpel way is that the sound get played as a background sound

Have a look at my WolfWiki user page. There is a function that does exactly what you want (et.G_ClientSound()). You must have ETPro 3.2.6 beta test release 1 installed on your server.
