For example, there is a skeleton and when I go near that, I should hear some voice. But the sound doesn't end when I retreat, it just go on. But it starts at first when I'm near that. Someone knows ?

Code: sound SkelVoiceSND = <Voices.wav>; // The sound file... var SkelVoiceVol = 200; // Change the volume here! var SkelVoiceHandle; // Action SkelVoices { while(1) { if (vec_dist(my.x, camera.x) <= SkelVoiceVol * 10) { if (snd_playing(SkelVoiceHandle) == 0) {SkelVoiceHandle = ent_playloop(my, SkelVoiceSND, SkelVoiceVol);} } else { if (snd_playing(SkelVoiceHandle) == 1) {snd_stop(SkelVoiceHandle);} } wait(1); } } This action will play the sound in a loop while the camera is close enough. It uses camera, instead of player (or whatever), because the camera is what determines the sounds volume and other properties. This action will also stop playing the sound if the camera is out of the range of hearing it. I have not tested this, so it may not work, but it should... I hope. Anyways, let me know how it goes... xXxGuitar511... xXxGuitar511 - Programmer

Here's some code that only plays it ONCE. Code: sound SkelVoiceSND = <Voices.wav>; // The sound... var SkelVoiceVol = 200; // The volume... ACTION SkelVoice { my.skill1 = 200; // Distance from player... while(my.skill1 > 0) { if (vec_dist(my.x, player.x) <= my.skill1) { ent_playsound(my, SkelVoiceSND, SkelVoiceVol); my.skill1 = 0; } wait(1); } } xXxGuitar511 - Programmer

ACTION SkelVoice { my.skill1 = 1; // Distance from player... while(my.skill1 > 0) { if (vec_dist(my.x, camera.x) <= my.skill1) { ent_playsound(my, SkelVoiceSND, SkelVoiceVol); my.skill1 = 0; } wait(1); } } (just got from the same forum) but the problem is that commentary just starts running with the start of the game. Is there anybody who can help in the regard?? I am entirely new to C script so please explain how I will change the code that camera or player will reach near the item and than can hear the sound only once�.please help thanks aslam
