Adding thunder sounds to lightning...

[Ceeb]

I use the Lightning command/parameter/whatever you want to call it in a few of my maps, and it seems awkward to have lightning, but no thunder. So! I've ripped the awesome thunder noises from Doom 64, and I'd really like to know how I set them up to go with the lightning. Does it go in SNDINFO?

Yes.

Would you care to elaborate a bit?

Look for the lightning type of script.

Hmm, I should be able to figure this out. Thanks.

Now I need to figure out how to make these two sounds random.

In sndinfo:

$random thunder { thunder1 thunder2 }

You don't need to script the thunder sounds. Merely having a definition for a sound named "world/thunder" will do. Whenever the lightning flashes, world/thunder gets played.

eg here's my own one

Code: Select all

$random world/thunder		{ world/thunder1  
				  world/thunder2 
				  world/thunder3 
				  world/thunder4 
				  world/thunder5 }
world/thunder1	dsthun1
world/thunder2	dsthun2
world/thunder3	dsthun3
world/thunder4	dsthun4
world/thunder5	dsthun5

Hey, thanks again, Enjay.
