Screaming in the woods...

[cragtek]

Oh yes, and ? instead of 'if'!

[cragtek]

No errors, but still not hearing any screams! Please could you tell me what exactly I should create in the editor?

I have defined the sounds in description.ext too.

[Tyger]

Im not sure. I was just looking for syntax errors. I don't really know what would be causing any problems. Do you have the sounds defined in the description.ext properly, etc etc? As in proper folders? Just double checking...

I would stick with using if and not ?  It is so much more powerful and flexible.

I suggest you write a script to get one sound working in one place and then use this script to randomise the whole thing.

Tyger:  Thanks it looks like  I was a bit lazy with the brackets

[cragtek]

Yep, sounds are defined. Should I be creating two markers called marker1 and marker2, or should I be creating gamelogics?

For some reason if I use 'if' I get the operator error. With '?' the errors disappear, but then the script doesn't do anything.

Sorry about this, guys, must be a right pain!

PS. Incidentally, I've tried commenting out lines and still no joy. Could it be a problem with the 'say' command?

Here is my description.ext (or the relevant parts at least):

Code: [Select]

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] =
{
UScore, ScreamM, ScreamF, UCapture
};

class UScore
{
name = "UScore";
sound[] = {"UScore.ogg", 1, 1.0};
titles[] = { };
};

class ScreamM
{
name = "ScreamM";
sound[] = {"ScreamM.ogg", 1, 1.0};
titles[] = { };
};

class ScreamF
{
name = "ScreamF";
sound[] = {"ScreamF.ogg", 1, 1.0};
titles[] = { };
};

class UCapture
{
name = "UCapture";
sound[] = {"UCapture.ogg", 10, 1.0};
titles[] = { };
};
};

Just a quick look:

I specify the folder in my sound definitions:

sound[] = {"\sound\UScore.ogg", 1, 1.0};

Is the volume of the sounds loud enough?

On the if line.  Those lines are a piece of belt and braces protection against a very rare event.  Generally they can be left out of the script.  But they should work.  I have never had the problems you describe.  Will you please copy and paste your script here so we can see it exactly - with the offending ifs
