how use 'action' to playsound on civilian?

[landstalker02]

Hello, i'm French so sorry for my English xD... So, i have this decorate and it's civilian. The characters walk around the map (A_Wander), or follow the player (A_Chase). When you hit him, he run 3 or 4 seconds and walk normaly again. there's sounds, too.

So, i would like launch random sound, when i near the civilian and when i use "action" key (spacebar for me), to hear "hello", or "what do you want", etc, etc... I tried to add "A_Playsound( "hom/act") but it doesn't work, or "Use:", but nothing.
Anyone can help me to know the correct synthaxe to do that, please?

Thanks for your advices x)

The [wiki]Used[/wiki] function is called when you "use" an actor, so you can put your sound call in there.

Also, [wiki]A_PlaySound[/wiki] is deprecated for [wiki]A_StartSound[/wiki]

Put this in your actor code:

Code: Select all

	override bool Used (Actor user)
	{
		a_StartSound("hom/act");
		return true;
	}

That looks like zscript code? The code posted by OP is DECORATE.

I think the best way to do this in DECORATE, assuming the actors are going to be used in a specific map, is to include an ACS script that plays the sound at the tid of the NPC, give the NPC a special to run the script and give them the +USESPECIAL flag in their DECORATE.

Another option would be to go all out and use the Strife dialogue system to give them more extensive responses and even conversations.
