[Question]Horn

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hello,

Is it (i know it will be) possible to change the horn sounds with a script?

don't reply with just yes but tell me how,

Thanks

[bandi94]

Yes it is .

How ? . You need a horn.mp3 , then bind the horn key , and playSound.

[TAPL]

And disable the default horn with:

But playSound is client side so it would be only hearable by the client player (localPlayer)

[pa3ck]

Use triggerServerEvent with 'getRootElement()' then trigger a client event back using triggerClientEvent with 'getRootElement()' and use playSound3D insted of playSound

Explain the need for triggerServerEvent? You can bindKey server-side.

[TAPL]

Make everything client side .

With bindKey when the key pressed down set the element data to the vehicle and when the key up remove the element data. Use the event onClientElementDataChange to play the sound and to destroy the sound and don't forget to use table to store the sound element.

How about this?

function horn ()  
        x, y, z  = getPlayerPosition ( localPlayer() ) 
        triggerServerEvent("root", root) 
    local sound = playSound("horn.mp3", x, y, z) 
end 
  
bindKey(localPlayer(), "horn", "down") 
 -------- 
addEvent("root", true) 
addEventHandler("root", getRootElement(), 
function () 
    -- what here? 
end 
)

so TAPL I can just play sound client side?

[TAPL]

Yes, the whole script can be done client side.

You can't play sounds server-side. Your code is wrong.

- localPlayer is a variable not a function.

- There is no getPlayerPosition function. Use getElementPosition instead.

- What's the need for new event?

The upper part is ment too be client and below server

Follow this:

function horn () 
        x, y, z  = getElementPosition( localPlayer() ) 
        local sound = playSound("horn.mp3", x, y, z) 
        onClientElementDataChange () --how does this work? 
end 
  
bindKey(root, "horn", "down")

bindKey ( "horn", "down", horn )

onClientElementDataChange 

is an event.

Check bindKey syntax. String key must be "h" not horn.

I can't tell more than what 50p said already in his previous post along side with the link i post.

If you don't read the wiki this a problem, you should realize that bindKey does not require player element in client side.

This is mentioned on the wiki (Client - Syntax).

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/BindKey

bindKey ( string key, string keyState, function handlerFunction,  [ var arguments, ... ] ) 

Everything about events was in the link: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Scripting_Introduction

Edit: @Drakath, horn is correct, it's the control name: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Control_names.

[ViRuZGamiing]

Indeed TAPL that's what I saw too horn is a control name

bindKey ( horn, "down", 
    function( ) 
        x, y, z = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
        local uSound = playSound3D( x, y, z )  
        setSoundMaxDistance( uSound, 100 ) 
    end 
)
