Timer in Script not work

[Veteran66]

Hi all

Message and Sound work fine, but with the Timer not, what is wrong?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if ("trigger_zielgetroffen1".Equals(shortName) && active)

double initTime = 0.0;
Timeout(initTime += 20.0, () =>

{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ziel getroffen 1");
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(BaseMissionPath + "sound1.wav");
player.Play();
}

You have an uneven number of brackets in the line "Timeout(initTime += 20.0, () =>" ?

After you fixed the missing brace Bonditaria pointed out - if that was not just not a copy paste error - try with first command only

if ("trigger_zielgetroffen1".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
    double initTime = 0.0;
    Timeout(initTime += 20.0, () => {
        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ziel getroffen 1");
        // System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(BaseMissionPath + "sound1.wav");
        // player.Play();
    });
}

And...
initTime is not really needed/used there. You can just do this:

if ("trigger_zielgetroffen1".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
    Timeout(20.0, () => {
        GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ziel getroffen 1");
        // System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(BaseMissionPath + "sound1.wav");
        // player.Play();
    });
}

Good evening.
I would like to hear the music in my headphones while I fly my biplane over the Libyan desert.
I tried to insert the script, attached above, in the File.cs, but nothing, it doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me step by step how to do it?
Thank you

You'd need to let people know what level of scripting you are at, do you make missions already, don't know a thing etc.

I'd suggest to start a new thread with code from a test mission you are trying to get to work and see if someone can help.

I don't have time to help right now, but if you are totally a novice check out my guide in the stickies and set up a mission that triggers some text when you take off, or after some timer, or on a trigger you fly thorugh. Then when you know that is working, add in the music playing script at that very point and see if you can get it to work.

If you are not a total beginner then the first mission of my 303 campaign (for our freedom and yours) plays music when you are within a certain distance of an enemy (I think that is what I used). Download my campaign, open up the first mission and you should be able to find the bit playing the music and pull it apart from there.

If you want to 'just hear music whilst flying', I'd suggest just use a music player like foobar2000 with whatever it is you require. I picked up some cheap WWII/30s/40s themed music that I use for 'atmopsphere'.
