When I'm playing a mod that has guns, I usually get disappointed when I can see guns going off in the visible distance, but I can't hear them. I understand the fact that the guns shouldn't sound the same from a distance, which is why I have come up with this. This script will allow players to shoot a gun at a distance and players in the server will hear a "pop" noise, instead of the actual gun or nothing at all.
Note: This script requires following this tutorial first!
Files we will be editing are: module_scripts.py and module_sounds.py.
After that tutorial, you should have an item that looks something like this:
You do not need to modify that item for this tutorial, but keep it in mind later.
At this point, we need to find a sound that will be used as our distant shooting. I used this sound (it doesn't sound like a realistic "gun pop" at all, so I would suggest you look for a better one, but this one is close enough).
Open up module_sounds.py.
We need to make a sound for each distance we want to hear it. The shorter the distance, the louder the volume. The longer the distance, the quieter the volume. So put this:
Note: You can add as many or as few as you would like.
Now we just need to fix up the "multiplayer_event_sound_at_player" script.
Open up module_scripts.py
Search for multiplayer_event_sound_at_player.
You should get something that looks like this:
Change it to this:
Note: If you have more sounds, make sure you add the necessary codes. Also, the distances are up to you.
And there you go! Load up your server, get some people shooting guns and test it out!
If you have a problem where it does not work for bots, change this:
