sound scripting

[dukester70]

so my issue is that i get a stackoverflow on my etitly script from the playsound

defineSound{
name = "rat_2",
filename = "mod_assets/samples/dungeon/rats_2.wav",
loop = false,
volume = 1,
minDistance = 1,
maxDistance = 1,
}

and my scripte et.

function playSound()
playSound ("rats_2")

I'm not sure.
Have you tried

Code: Select all

function playSound()
playSound ("rats_2")
end

Also, your playSound says "rats_2"
but your defined sound is "rat_2"

This sort of error is almost always just a typo.

Suggestions...

1. As Neikun said, make sure you call 'playSound(...)' with the same name that you have defined in your defineSound command.

2. Make sure your function has a unique name that doesn't hide an existing function. If the function you are making is indeed called playSound, then when you try to call 'playSound' from within that function you are calling that function from within itself, which is causing infinite recursion (that would cause a crash). You might want to use a different name for your function to play that SFX.

Code: Select all

function playRatSound() 
  playSound("rat_2");
end

3. If your wav file is of an invalid format, that too can cause a crash / problems. I've outlined a bunch of settings I have successfully used here: http://grimwiki.net/wiki/Custom_Sound_Tutorial

Also, for future reference, please don't post the same question in multiple spots because you hadn't received an answer yet.
The best course of action is to start your own thread as you've done here. And then simply bump if you feel your question has been forgotten. If the topic is still on the first page, it's too early to bump.

Welcome to the forums! =D
