 Registered Member #1914 Joined: Fri Nov 16 2007Posts: 4 | I would like to be able to set area trigger in DFMED to control event. Then use event in the .WAC file to play .wav. It works fine but only 1 time. I want the area trigger to play .wav every time a blue player enters it or other ones. I know its been done. Rabid Chipmunk did it and I have his wac to read. But Im not good enough to understand the variables he used(I think). Is there anyone that can help me with this problem. Thank you | ||

In the wac if eq(v99,1) then wave(*****) set(v99,0) endif You can do the trigger from wac also, but this fires every second so use it carefully. PLOOP if ssnarea(player,6) then // player in area 6 as defined in xmed ssnwave(player,"loktone.wav",25) consol("some text !!") set(v99,1) endif end In the wac if eq(v99,1) then wave(*****) set(v99,0) endif | ||

| Registered Member #1914 Joined: Fri Nov 16 2007Posts: 4 | It didnt work, what I got was a loop that fires when I enter the area and continues to repeat about 1-2 secs. Is that what you meant? So here is what I did. Editor: Event 3 if group 1 within area 4 then change mission variable set variable 99 10 in the wac: instead of if event (03) and never() then it now reads if eq(v99,1) then wave("chip_025.wav") set(99,0)v endif I noticed that in first line you wrote in editor v99,10 then in wac (99,0)v is that correct. 2. what does the 99 represent and could it be 79 or 30 3.will I need one of these for every trigger i want to activate. 4. will they all be 99,1 I hope this is enough infor for you. And I am really sorry I didnt understand enough to get it the 1st time. I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. lol | ||

In the wac if eq(v99,10) then wave(*****) set(v99,0) endif Basically you use xmed to set a variable, it can be any number, then the wac reads that variable, once it has performed the required action I reset the variable to 0 ready to be reset, you tick the box in events in xmed to reset and type the delay.
