*sound.slot "str slot"

[Lioyd_Irving]

An extension to the PainSound, AttackSound and everything ending in Sound, it consists in changing the default sound slot of an actor's attack, pain or whatever sound to the one specified, unless the A_PlaySound(Ex) function explicitly mentions another slot.

Code: Select all

ACTOR SuperSpecialAwesomeBomb
{
             attacksound.slot "Voice" //Attack sound will be using the Voice slot by default, instead of the Weapon slot
             States
             {
             Fire:
                 BOMB 8 A_SuperSpecialAwesomeAttackFunction
                 BOMB 8 A_PlaySound("superspecial/awesomesound", CHAN_WEAPON) //but this one will use the Weapon slot
                 Goto Hell                                                    //because A_PlaySound says so
             }
}

Admittedly, I only ask for it because I need it, but I'm sure this could be of use for some workarounds too.

Good idea, very bad way to do it.

I'd rather add a second parameter to the sound properties for it.

Yeah, that seems like it'd make a lot more sense.

So we can expect this whenever you get around to it?
