Enemy active sound not playing

[JtoTheB]

I'm not entirely sure on what i'm doing wrong, but i'm currently coding an NPC that goes off of the peasant's base if you get what I mean. Is there something I'm missing here, or is this just not possible?

Code: Select all

ACTOR Civillian : Peasant 7827
{
 Health 150
  PainChance 200
  Speed 8
  Radius 20
  Height 56
  Monster
  +NEVERTARGET
  -COUNTKILL
  +NOSPLASHALERT
  +FLOORCLIP
  +JUSTHIT
  MinMissileChance 150
  MaxStepHeight 16
  MaxDropoffHeight 32
  SeeSound "peasant/sight"
  AttackSound "peasant/attack"
  PainSound "peasant/pain"
  DeathSound "peasant/death"
  ActiveSound "peasant/act"
  HitObituary "%o somehow died to a civillian's weak ass punch."
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    PEAS A 10 A_Look2
    Loop
  See:
    PEAS AABBCCDD 5 A_Wander
    Goto Spawn
  Melee:
    PEAS E 10 A_FaceTarget
    PEAS F 8 A_CustomMeleeAttack(2*random[PeasantAttack](1, 5)+2)
    PEAS E 8
    Goto See
  Pain:
    PEAS O 3
    PEAS O 3 A_Pain
    Goto Melee
  Wound:
    PEAS G 5
    PEAS H 10 A_GetHurt
    PEAS I 6
    Goto Wound+1

  }
}

I could be wrong here but the active sound is usually played when an enemy is chasing its target using A_Chase. Your NPC uses A_Wander and I'm not sure if that supports playing the active sound. If it doesn't, you could change your code to include a chance of jumping to a state that plays the sound randomly using A_StartSound.

I'll be sure to try that, and i'll give a follow up on the outcome.
