Firing Sound Question

Post by Valherran »

In Slade 3, Is there a way to make a weapon play 1 continuous sound while holding down the fire button? If yes, is there a way to make it start at random intervals of the sound file?

You can loop a sound with A_PlaySound. Assign certain channel and make it loop in the firing state. In the other states (or possible at the end of the firing state), play on the same channel again but stop the looping.

You can only play sound effects from the start.

And just to add to that, if/when you want the sound to stop, you may also find [wiki]A_StopSound[/wiki] useful.

GRRR, this is harder than I thought it would be for me...

This minigun I am trying to change the sound on uses the primary fire as a start-up sequence (chain spin-up), and then uses a hold function to fire the bullets after. Somehow this thing is rigged to perform everything twice in quick succession as a means of double ROF I am assuming. The default sound it came with is a second and a half long and it rapidly plays that sound per shot, which is why it sounds like crap. And because it is doing that, I can't figure out how to get it to play the sound for as long I am firing bullets.

The "CHGNSHOT" sound file would be replaced with my new one, so I need to get that to run and loop for as long as I am firing bullets. How do I go about doing that?
