You know Haunted House Demo? the zombies like moan when they chase you. Does anyone know how to do that?And CodeTech, please don't Brag about it. if you know how to do it, please tell me. please?

thanks!

I'll get a piece of the code:

Place this in WL_ACT2.C, before this function is used.

::: CODE :::

void    ZombieIdle (objtype *ob);

This also goes to WL_ACT2.C:

::: CODE :::

///////////////////////////////////////////
// ZombieIdle
///////////////////////////////////////////

void ZombieIdle (objtype *ob)
{
      int   dx,dy,dist;

      dx = abs(ob->tilex - player->tilex);
      dy = abs(ob->tiley - player->tiley);
      dist = dx>dy ? dx : dy;
 
      if (areabyplayer[ob->areanumber])
   if (US_RndT() < 0.5 && !DigiPlaying  && dist < 4)
   {
          PlaySoundLocActor (SCHEISTSND,ob);
   }
   if (US_RndT() < 0.5 && !DigiPlaying && dist < 4)
   {
        PlaySoundLocActor (MECHSTEPSND,ob);
   }
   if (US_RndT() < 0.5 && !DigiPlaying && dist < 4)
   {
        PlaySoundLocActor (SLURPIESND,ob);
   }
}

Place this in the actors chase state(s). I suggest you put in only one of the chase frames so it won't be repeated too often:

::: CODE :::

ZombieIdle

You know were this goes don't you...

Oh, and those were taken directly from Haunted House source code.
As you see the propability is very small, this way I could avoid too fast repetition. Please bare in mind that this is very old code, it dates back to the days when I was a newbie...
*sigh*

i think all you need is the sd playsound thingy when he hears you... or is this something else?... maybe it is kind of actor speak sounds... can we make a guard threaten you if you run away? (haha!) or make an "ouch!" sound? maybe we are on to something big...


@codetech
sorry for bumping i just thought as i was reading this that that might be a good idea...

[Codetech84]

Why did you have to bump this age old code, it's outdated and the logic is all wrong...


I didn't want to edit my old post but here's some updated code...

It should have the effect I wanted back in the day but since I messed up the logic in the previous version this might have completely different effect that I was aiming for. Atleast the logic is corrected (I guess) and it looks cleaner.

::: CODE :::

void ZombieIdle (objtype *ob)
{
      int   dx,dy,dist;

      if (!DigiPlaying && areabyplayer[ob->areanumber] && US_RndT() == 0)
      {
         dx = abs(ob->tilex - player->tilex);
         dy = abs(ob->tiley - player->tiley);
         dist = dx>dy ? dx : dy;

         if (dist >= 4)
            return;

         switch ((US_RndT()%3))
         {
            case 0: PlaySoundLocActor (SCHEISTSND,ob); break;
            case 1: PlaySoundLocActor (MECHSTEPSND,ob); break;
            case 2: PlaySoundLocActor (SLURPIESND,ob); break;
         }
      }
}

@Codetech: When you %2, the value 2 will never be an answer... you'd need %3 for that.

[Codetech84]

Yes you are right, I updated the code.
