Grenade sound plays before explosion

[GerardWay]

I have added an explosion sound for grenades, and the sound plays as soon as I throw it.

How can I make the sound play when the Grenade explodes instead?

function projectileCreation() 
playSound ("sounds/Grenade.wav") 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientProjectileCreation, getRootElement(), projectileCreation)

Your scipt is bad:

function projectileCreation() 
playSound ("sounds/Grenade.wav") 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientProjectileCreation", getRootElement(), projectileCreation) 

about your audio. The sound has to start fast,when the sound starts understand?

You can use setTimer, if you think the sound should start later.

I'm not entirely sure if this would work but you could try to use onClientExplosion to detect the explosion, and cancel the event. Thus, the explosion won't occur.

Get the co-ordinates of where the explosion would have occured, and use createExplosion to create a new one, and set the parameter makeSound to false. Then the created explosion will not use a default sound - and you can play your own sound instead.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Edit: Couldn't help but to try this myself, and it sort of works - just that the sound is a bit awkward.

  
function stopCreatedExplosion(eX, eY, eZ, theType) 
    if(theType == 2) then 
        cancelEvent() 
        createExplosion(eX, eY, eZ, 2, false, 0.3, true) 
        explosionSFX = playSound3D("SFX/explosion.mp3", eX, eY, eZ, false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientExplosion", getRootElement(), stopCreatedExplosion) 
  

This checks if the explosion was a Rocket, and if it was - it will cancel the explosion, replace it with a new one without sound and then play a custom sound effect at that location.

Edit2: You can use setSoundMaxDistance to play around with the max distance of the sound, I found a value of 100 to be rather nice.

Hope this suits your needs!
