Music in area

[BlackS]

Hello all, I'm trying to make a script to play music when you enter the beach area, but It wont play any music.

gRoot = getRootElement() 
gResRoot = getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) 
x = 253.234375 
y = -1784.283203125 
z = 4.2362642288208 
  
function soundStart() 
    if x and y and z then 
        sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", x, y, z, true) 
        if sound then 
            outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
        else 
            outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", gResRoot, soundStart) 
  
function stopSound() 
    if sound then 
        destroyElement(sound) 
        outputDebugString("3D destroyed.", 3) 
    else 
        return 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop", gResRoot, stopSound) 

Second: I've got a shoutcast radio station, Am I able to put it also at that area?

In MTA 1.1 is that possible I heard

[JR10]

Did you add music.mp3 to the meta?

And there is already a stopSound function, you can use it to stop the sound, you don't need to make your own.

stopSound 

In MTA 1.1 you can play a live radio.

playSound3D ( "http://radio.com/radio" , 0 , 0 , 0 ) 

Just an example.

[BlackS]

Thanks for the fast response!

META:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
-type="script" version="1" author="BlackS"/> "music.mp3"/> 

[JR10]

Try:

meta:

<meta> 
<info type="script" version="1" author="BlackS"/> 
<script src = "client.lua" type = "client" /> 
<file src = "music.mp3" /> 
</meta> 

client.lua:

function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 

Use /debugscript 3.

[BlackS]

Still didn't worked, I don't know it!

Did I selected the correct area?

and can I upload this 1 also in MTA 1.1?

[JR10]

You are outputting debug messages, you should see it.

Use /debugscript 3

The lua file name must be: client.lua

Oh okay that way, It was named: Untitled 1.lua

Second: I'm using a listen2myradio client.

URLs are like myradio.listen2myradio.com

those works also?

EDIT: Renamed and tested, Still nothing.

[BlackS]

Decided to make it a stream script.

I've added my radio channel but it says there are illegal characters on it?

Its a listen2myradio client so I copied the url.

its like:

radio.listen2myradio.com

[BlackS]

None can help me out with this 1?

[Arran]

You need to set the min and max distance of the 3d sound using:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetSoundMinDistance

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetSoundMaxDistance

[BlackS]

This is what I've got now: I've added the 2 new parts.

I've heard a little sound and I think it will working, need to check the soundfile first.

function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 
  
local sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
  
function distanceFunc(command, param) 
  setSoundMinDistance(sound, (10)(param)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("setdistance", distanceFunc) 
  
local sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
  
function maxdistanceFunc(command, param) 
  setSoundMaxDistance(sound, (50)(param)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("setmaxdistance", maxdistanceFunc) 

But my next question: Will this work in MTA 1.1? I couldn't start this 1 in the local server: It contain illegal charachters

function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("myradio.listen2myradio.com", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 
  
local sound = playSound3D("myradio.listen2myradio.com", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
  
function distanceFunc(command, param) 
  setSoundMinDistance(sound, (10)(param)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("setdistance", distanceFunc) 
  
local sound = playSound3D("myradio.listen2myradio.com", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
  
function maxdistanceFunc(command, param) 
  setSoundMaxDistance(sound, (50)(param)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("setmaxdistance", maxdistanceFunc)

Dear me... you were meant to add those functions just where its created not create 3 different sounds and 2 unecessary commands and functions.

Also what the hell is "setSoundMinDistance(sound, (10)(param))"

Calm down arran, He's new and where suppose to help him

Nah I understand, Smacked my head to, Stupid fault.

I guess I've got to add it this way?

PS: Glad there is a MTA forum for help

function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
     setSoundMinDistance(sound, tonumber(param)) 
     setSoundMaxDistance(sound, tonumber(param)) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
  
  
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 

[SDK]

Almost, param doesn't exist in your script (you just copied it from the wiki)

function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   setSoundMinDistance(sound, 10) 
   setSoundMaxDistance(sound, 20) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 

You're confused by the wiki example, it could be also done this way:

mindistance = 10 
maxdistance = 20 
function soundStart() 
   sound = playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   setSoundMinDistance(sound, mindistance ) 
   setSoundMaxDistance(sound, maxdistance ) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 

[CapY]

Is it possible to play more sounds with that script ?

[SDK]

with some edits, yes

[CapY]

can you give me a function(s) ?

[Baseplate]

playSound function ofc

[CapY]

but what syntax do i need to play more sounds , like one after second.

[JR10]

Use playSound several times.

[CapY]

I already tried this , but dont work.

I messed up it alot and all sounds starts in the same time -.-

Here :

mindistance = 5 
maxdistance = 50 
function soundStart() 
   if sound == playSound3D("music.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) then 
   sound1 = playSound3D("music1.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   else 
   sound2 = playSound3D("music2.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   else 
   sound3 = playSound3D("music3.mp3", 253.234375, -1784.283203125, 4.2362642288208, true) 
   end 
   setSoundMinDistance(sound, sound1, sound2,sound3, mindistance ) 
   setSoundMaxDistance(sound, sound1, sound2, sound3, maxdistance ) 
   if sound then 
        outputDebugString("3D Created successful", 3) 
   else 
        outputDebugString("Error creating 3D", 1) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, soundStart) 

[CapY]

Okay fixed , but still all the songs starts in the same time -
