Playing A Sound?

[Maccer.]

Well, I tried to use a sound, but it fails. Obviously, I defined it in the meta.xml and it downloaded. Here's the code.

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(),
function (attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
	if bodypart == 9 then
		local sound = playSound("fu_neck.mp3")
		setSoundVolume(sound, 0.75)
		setGameSpeed(0.3)
	end
end
)

Not sure why it won't play. Yes it's a client-side script.

Because of the game speed? I'm 99% sure that game speed affects sounds, even original ingame sounds. If the game speed is too low you won't hear any music in your car, so that might be game speed issue.

I tried removing the gamespeed. It still doesn't work. Plus the libary is external, why should it not play during slow downs?

Is the event triggered at all?

Does it have to be? Because this client-script isn't triggered but does its job. (addEventHandler BTW)

In-case anyone is interested. The server shows up as "Maccer's Test Server"

Every event is triggered when something occurs. Are you sure it's triggered? Try onClientPedDamage too.

I even tried it on spawn. It just won't play anywhere.

Try to see what playSound returned. Eg:

outputDebugString( tostring( sound ) )

It returns false. ): Not sure why.

^ The meta.xml, I see nothing wrong with it though.

Edit: I fixed it! I removed the "type" attribute. Apparently it caused problems.

Why are you using type parameter? For tag there is only one parameter available and it is src.

There was a type attribute though. I wonder if my custom billboards still work... shit.
