PlaySound does not work??

[Fabio(GNR)]

I want to create a script that plays sound when enters marker and stops when enters another marker, i finished the start script, but idk whats wrong? when i enter the marker nothing happens, no errors on debugscript, en btw when i accidentally used script as server it said nil value cause it was server but it does detect the marker, but doesnt play the sound, btw the sound is pretty big, a bit less then 10 mb code:

function soundclub(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
    local sound = playSound("club.mp3")  
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.6)  
end 
  
local myMarker2 = createMarker ( 48.590377807617,2252.8537597656,270.80096948242, "arrow", 1.0, 120, 255, 0, 170 )  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", myMarker2, soundclub)

Are you sure the sound path is OK? And do you see the marker above the ground, right?

[dzek (varez)]

onMarkerHit is server side event..

Use onClientMarkerHit instead..

I hope you know the difference between server and client side.. because In that the sound won't be synchronised

Yes, i put the sound file in the resource root folder, so example: sound.mp3 (if it was a mp3) but it doesn't play, yes. cause it detects marker too. Thanks for responding

EDIT:

Use onClientMarkerHit instead..

Srry didn't see your post, ill try that it will work i think

EDIT2: Thanks it worked, varez thi is like the tenth time you helped me out Thanks alot!!

EDIT3: 1 more thing now when i walk trough the marker the sound get played over the other, is there any way to let it know its still playing? And making it available when its done?

[50p]

There is no way to check if sound is already playing. If MTA Devs accepted my patch, you'd be able to detect when the sound has stopped or started playing. Currently, there is no way to check if sound is being played.

enyway

use stopSound function , when marker hits, and then start it again. so it wont be over played, but will be started again

[dzek (varez)]

you can set global value determinig if sound is played, on start set to true,

and set it back to false with setTimer

Sorry, i don't really get it, does it mean that if the marker is walked trough, that it will start disable it for that player and enable it again when the timer is done??

[dzek (varez)]

yup

[Fabio(GNR)]

yup

And, how to do that Could you explain some more? Thanks!!

[dzek (varez)]

  
isPlaying = false 
function soundclub(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
  if not isPlaying then 
    isPlaying=true 
    stopSound(sound) 
    local sound = playSound("club.mp3")  
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.6) 
    setTimer(function() isPlaying=false end, 32500, 1) 
  end 
end 
  

like that

isPlaying = false

  if not isPlaying then 
    isPlaying=true 
    stopSound(sound) 
    local sound = playSound("club.mp3")  
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.6) 
    setTimer(function() isPlaying=false end, 32500, 1) 
  end 
end

[Fabio(GNR)]

what??

the sound, when i walk trough the second time it starts a new one but doesn't stop the old one so two are playing at the same time....can't we try this with a command instead of marker and then make the command avaible after the lenght?

[dzek (varez)]

And My solution is not working?

[Fabio(GNR)]

And My solution is not working?

No, well maybe its me but i tested it first with marker now i changed to command, maybe i broke something:

  
function soundclub (playerSource) 
    local sound = playSound("club.mp3",true)  
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.7)  
end 
 addCommandHandler ( "clubstart", soundclub )  
  
isPlaying = false 
function soundclub(playerSource) 
  if not isPlaying then 
    isPlaying=true 
    stopSound (sound) 
    local sound = playSound("club.mp3") 
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.7) 
    setTimer(function() isPlaying=false end, 600000, 1) 
  end 
end 

[dzek (varez)]

You have two functions with same name.one is overwriting older function. You can remove first one

[CowTurbo]

hmm

there isnt needed for command..

just, make it like varez sayd

  
local isPlaying = false -- hmm, dont know is local needed, but i think it is? 
  
local myMarker2 = createMarker ( 48.590377807617,2252.8537597656,270.80096948242, "arrow", 1.0, 120, 255, 0, 170 ) 
  
function soundclub(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
    if not isPlaying then 
     isPlaying=true 
     stopSound(sound) 
     local sound = playSound("club.mp3") 
     setSoundVolume(sound, 0.6) 
     setTimer(function() isPlaying=false end, 32500, 1) 
   end 
 end   
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", myMarker2, soundclub) 
  

[Fabio(GNR)]

thanks varez, and CowTurbo will try now

EDIT: it worked Great!! But can i ask one more question how to make a command to make it stop? The one on the wiki doesn't work/explain Thanks really thanks!!

btw: stop what i have so far:

function stopclub (playerSource) 
    stopSound("club.mp3")  
end 
addCommandHandler ( "clubstop", stopclub )

[Fabio(GNR)]

Only 1 bug, when you started it, and then you stop it, start won't work anymore, how to fix?? :D

EDIT: Never mind, i setted the timer to 10 min or so never waited so long, changed to 1000 and its fixed
