Custom Sounds for Specific Weapons?

[Danijongo]

Well, as the title says,
Is it possible to set a custom swing sound for a specific weapon like a sword (in our case a lightsaber)
and while all the other swords and weapons beside the lightsaber should use the normal swing sound. If yes, how?

In other words,
using a new weapon_swing sound for a specific weapon/(in our case lightasbers) while keeping the default one for all other weapons, how?

Thanks in advance,
Danijongo.

Use the same approach used to make custom sounds for firearms and put a null sound in for the default swings.

Hehe, i wish it was so easy. The thing is, we need some sounds to be heard when swinging a weapon, not silence. Plus, we can keep the native ones for all weapons apart from lightsaber.

You'd write a similar custom script for all of the "default" weapons as well.  So far as I know, that's the only way to do it.  It's how I made all the customized sounds for firearms work in Blood and Steel.

Would it work for melee weapons too? And which scripts should i copy/modify?

It should work for melee weapons, it uses ti_on_weapon_attack.  You just need a play_sound event there.

Ye, this works for ranged weapons and firearms. But i need to change the sound of weapons swinging, feinting, and slashing, not only attacking. And this doesn't work for melee weapons. It's snd_sword_swing by default with s_swordSwing.wav.

 

[xenoargh]

Hrmm, I thought that ran for non-shooting weapons. 

Well, I don't think there's any way past that without using WSE; IIRC there are WSE methods to catch some of those things.  Can't see any other way around that, other than making use of the wooden_parry exception, which doesn't cover strikes, etc., all of that's hardcoded.

That trigger does activate for melee weapons, but only on the server (unlike ranged). This is all you need, since agent_play_sound is automatically synched with nearby clients when run on the server.

Does that mean it works in SP at all, though?

I'm not sure; I don't work on a single player mod to make it easy to test. Catches me out often when answering questions, habitually thinking in terms of MP.

Oooh, that's true man. I created a new sound, then increased its priority and decreased the deafult swing's volume , eventually added the ti_on_weapon_attack on the required weapons. It just works perfectly now. Thank you very much. My lightsabers owe you guys a favour

There is actually a more in depth code which I asked around a year ago. It made weapon type specific death sounds if I remember. Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but Ill link it anyway.

There are more sounds than just the initial effect the weapon uses on usage. Please read the OP next time.

Ye, this was for ranged weapons. Thought that didn't work for melee weapons as well. I did try to search before posting.

I know how to add a sound effect for a weapon, I asked if its possible to make a sound just for a specific sword, not all of the them....
Please read my question before posting.
