Adding an explosion / collsion sound

by Bryce Kaminsky · in Torque Game Engine · 07/11/2004 (9:02 pm) · 3 replies

I've been adding weapons to my fps game and i cannot understand how to get an explosion sound to work.

i've set up[ the AudioProfile

datablock AudioProfile(MgunExplosionSound)
{
filename = "~/data/sound/mgun/mgun_ricochet.wav";
description = AudioDefault3d;
preload = true;
};

and have set my collsion section

datablock ExplosionData(MgunExplosion)
{
//explosionShape = "~/data/shapes/mgun/explosion.dts";
soundProfile = MgunExplosionSound;
lifeTimeMS = 500;

particleEmitter = MgunExplosionEmitter;
particleDensity = 10;
particleRadius = 0.3;

// Exploding debris
debris = ExplosionDebris;
debrisThetaMin = 0;
debrisThetaMax = 60;
debrisPhiMin = 0;
debrisPhiMax = 360;
debrisNum = 6;
debrisNumVariance = 2;
debrisVelocity = 1;
debrisVelocityVariance = 0.5;

faceViewer = true;
explosionScale = "0.3 0.3 0.3";

};

but it plays the sound from another weapon but not the sound i defined for the object.

any ideas anyone?

Look like it should work !
Do you have the right explosion on projectileData ?

Just out of curiosity, why are you using a ricochet sound where you want an explosion?

filename = "~/data/sound/mgun/mgun_ricochet.wav";

Are you saying you are not hearing the ricochet? Have you played that wav in your media player to see what it sounds like there?

I've change the sound file from a wav to an Ogg and it worked ? ,,,, i guess oggs work better than .wav 's in torque
