Modding Help Is there a way to get a status to play a sound?

What it says on the tin. Is there anything I can put into the .lua, statuseffect or animator files to get it to play a sound when inflicted?

 

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone suggest me as to what's wrong? I'm pretty new to LUA.

Here's my code, with the change in line 4:

Code:

function init()
  animator.setParticleEmitterOffsetRegion("drips", mcontroller.boundBox())
  animator.setParticleEmitterActive("drips", true)
  mcontroller.playImmediateSound("sfx/objects/redalert.wav")
  effect.setParentDirectives("fade=00BBFF=0.4")
  script.setUpdateDelta(1)
  self.tickTime = 1.0
  self.tickTimer = self.tickTime

end

function update(dt)

  mcontroller.controlModifiers({
      movementSuppressed = true
    })

  self.tickTimer = self.tickTimer - dt
  if self.tickTimer <= 0 then
    self.tickTimer = self.tickTime
    world.spawnProjectile("kinepticforceexplosion", mcontroller.position(), 0, {0, 0}, false, { timeToLive = 0 } )
  end

end

function uninit()

end

From docs.starbound.com:

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

so line 4 should be:

mcontroller.playImmediateSound("sfx/objects/redalert.wav", Vec2F(), AudioParameters())

?

 

Thanks.

Tried mcontroller.playImmediateSound("sfx/objects/redalert.wav", Vec2F(x0, y0), AudioParameters())

and got

Error: Exception while invoking lua function 'init'. (LuaException) [string "/stats/effects/kinepticforceexplosion/kinepti..."]:5: attempt to call global 'Vec2F' (a nil value)

Hmm, I don't think something's working. Oh well.

 

If you're using particle effects in your status effect, you might not need to struggle with LUA. Or, maybe, I think you can use entity.playImmediateSound or entity.playSound.

 

Nevermind, I twitted Metadept like what was suggested, let's hope I get a reply.

Thanks all.

 

Well that's bloody strange. I did not get an alert when this topic was created, nor when @xxswatelitexx ping'd me. Vect2F is the C++ variant for just a table with 2 numbers for the X and Y coordinates... so: { 0, 0 }


Im new to the whole movement controller right now, but it seems to work the same for the entity version.

Code:

mcontroller.playImmediateSound("sfx/objects/redalert.wav", {0, 0}) -- Will play at position (0,0) relative to the entity 

If it works the same way as the entity varient, its relative to itself... if NOT then it will be absolute coordinates and you will have to use the entity's location in there instead.
