sound in script

[ThEoNaNdOnLy]

hello

i have a cutscene where a sniper is watching an american soldier, and i have the cutscene all done right and mary. but i dont know what to type into the script to make a gunshot sound. the sniper does not actually shott (i couldnt figure out of be botherd to figure it out. so all that happens is half way through the script it says

"officer setdammage 2", now, just before that happens, the camera looks at the sniper, then zooms close to his eye, and that is the point in time that i want to hear a nice loud gunshot. but i dont know what to type.

would it be something like

"sniper playsound "gunshot" or something?

someone please help  ;D

i think this needs a stringtable - i think
you need to call one of the ofp sounds if you want an exact replica

or you could record yourself firing a sniper and play that sound

or you could download a similar sound effect and use that

but i think stringtables are the best way - not quite sure how to use them though...

[ThEoNaNdOnLy]

ok could you just tell me the command to call the sound

e.g. this playsound "bang"

(if there is one)

and could you tell me where i could find a list of the sounds on opf.

if you know the name of the m21 that the game reads, ex: JAM_m21 or whatever, you can just have him fire:

sniper fire ["m21","single"]

syntax and effectiveness not garunteed, but should work for what you want

[General Barron]

Looking in BIS's commented config files, I see the path to the sound for the m21 is this:

Weapons\m21

I think if you define a new sound, and put that as the file for the sound in your description.ext, than you might get the BIS m21 sound. If that doesn't work, try:

\Weapons\m21

Now, if you don't know how to define sounds in your description.ext, or play them in your scripts/triggers, then I suggest you search the ed depot and read Bloodmixers sound tutorial.

Just record it and then play it back where you want it. As long as your recordings ok, it'll sound fine.

wow this is confusing?

ok i just want him to shoot dont care about making the sound now, too hard, just want him to shoot one round, dont care where it goes.

you could put [] exec "scriptname.sqs" in your cam script with a trigger snyced with a soldier with an m21 and in the script have it say (i think its) "sniperguy do firetarget nameoftarget" then in like a second tell it to stop not sure how. but with that trigger in the condition field put scriptname so when that script is called throught the cam script it will make a sniper shoot a different target for 1 second or wateva you put in then he will cease fire that might work try it
