Sync "playSound"?

[Fawxy]

I have a script that plays music while in the server, but it doesnt sync up with the other players. Is there something I missed? This command should really be server side anyways.

[dzek (varez)]

just trigger event from server to client like:

SERVER:

function some_function()
if (something_happen) then
triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "playMyMusic", getRootElement())
end
end

CLIENT:

addEvent("playMyMusic",true)
addEventHandler("playMyMusic", getRootElement(), function()
playSound (parameters, here)
--or any other things
end)

EDIT:

afair you can overwrite mta native functions, so write own server side playSound (in the way showed above - but when triggering client event also pass filename parameter - to play correct file on client) search wiki for examples of triggering events

i tried and failed, could anyone fix it

client

addEvent("playMyMusic",true)
addEventHandler("playMyMusic", getRootElement(), function()
local sound = playSound("mariosong.mp3",false) 
setSoundVolume(sound, 1.0)
end)

server

function PlayMusic()
triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "playMyMusic", getRootElement())
end
addCommandHandler("play", PlayMusic)

its working if you have added it all right to meta.xml INCLUDING THE SOUND FILE

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Meta.xml

[[DMC]]

<meta>
   <info type="script" version="1.0.0" />
   <script src="musics.lua" type="server"/>
   <script src="musicc.lua" type="client"/>
   <file src="files/song.mp3" />
</meta>

[dzek (varez)]

you are loading:

files/song.mp3

and want to play:

mariosong.mp3

[Xierra]

Yes, the meta must be the same ones as the music's name.

i changed it and only i hear the music:S

[dzek (varez)]

zip your resource and post whole resource.

i dont know HOW and WHAT you messed up, but you messed up something for sure o_O

[[DMC]]

ok sended u in pm

[dzek (varez)]

local sound = playSound("mariosong.mp3",false)

you are still trying to load sound without specifying full (but relative to resource root of course) in playSound argument...

local sound = playSound("files/mariosong.mp3",false)

[[DMC]]

lol typo but its not working

only i hear the music

[dzek (varez)]

you are making me wanna kill myself..

maybe the others are deaf? or they are lying to you? or they have sound turned off?

on client side put:

addEvent("playMyMusic",true)
addEventHandler("playMyMusic", getRootElement(), function()
local sound = playSound("files/mariosong.mp3",false) 
setSoundVolume(sound, 1.0)
outputChatBox("this is freaking DEBUG, DEBUG FTW!")
end)

read this (btw: read whole manual before asking anything)

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Debugging

and if you are really desperated use this for debug (gift from me):

server

function PlayMusic()
triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "playMyMusic", getRootElement())
end
addCommandHandler("mario", PlayMusic)
 
addEvent("catchDebug", true)
addEventHandler("catchDebug", getRootElement(), function()
local name=getPlayerName(source)
outputChatBox(name.." should hear the sound - debug don't lie"
end)

client

addEvent("playMyMusic",true)
addEventHandler("playMyMusic", getRootElement(), function()
local sound = playSound("files/mariosong.mp3",false) 
setSoundVolume(sound, 1.0)
outputChatBox("this is freaking DEBUG, DEBUG FTW!")
triggerServerEvent("catchDebug", getLocalPlayer())
end)

and..

i gave you a link,

again:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Debugging

I don't think so you will bother to read

but you can read there about debugscript command.

Use it to spot errors in your script.

Do "/debugscript 3" in chat

or "debugscript 3" in console.

well they are lying i think because they said yours isnt working either i just wait for someone i trust

[50p]

Ask them to type the command. They will triggerClientEvent and if you can hear the music after they type the command in, they can hear the music when you type the command in.

[dzek (varez)]

they can lie in that case also ..

[TheRealCow]

triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "playMyMusic", getRootElement())

you are triggering event to local player..

triggerClientEvent("playMyMusic", getRootElement())

maybe lsomething like that ?

[50p]

triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "playMyMusic", getRootElement())

you are triggering event to local player..

triggerClientEvent("playMyMusic", getRootElement())

maybe lsomething like that ?

Do you know what you're talking about? Both of them are correct. There is no local player on server-side.
