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();
}

[Bonditaria]

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

[Artist]

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();
    });
}

[ATAG_Colander]

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();
    });
}

thx, work fine

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'.

Hi everyone.
Thanks Yo-Yo for your directions, but just to make you understand my level, I wasn't even able to install your campaign (despite following your directions). I get along well with missions, I'm not a beginner, but I limit myself to reworking the ".cs file", not rewriting it every time. (I'm more excited about the historical aspect of the events).
I tried to follow your instructions, but I still can't get the music, when a trigger goes off, if I don't bother, I'll attach the test ".cs file" below, so if some friend can help me understand where I err.
P.S. I place the ".waw file" in the same folder where I place the other 3 (mis,briefing,cs), is that correct?(the last one part is for the music file, but I can't hear it....I think it doesn't work).
Thank you

your lines for the player are commented out;

remove the "//"and retest please.

Hi everyone.
I wasn't even able to install your campaign (despite following your directions).

Maybe you don't have Tobruk?

And what error message do you get in the console in game?

Judging by the track name I guess you've pulled the code from my mission, where you notice I specify the path not just the filename, I do some stuff to put the path into a variable called 'audiopath' then concatenate with the audiofilename as:

System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(audiopath + "True-Patriot.wav");

If the console error message is saying the file cannot be found, try manually typing it in

I just made a mission that triggerd the track ok, using this:

System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(@"C:\Users\your_user_name \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single"+ "True-Patriot.wav");

Of course I have amended it to say 'your_user_name' rather than my user name on my pc

Just made sure the wav file was in the same folder as all those single missions.

// System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer("True-Patriot.wav");
// player.Play();

Thanks Bondi, but it doesn't work...isn't the location of the ".Wav" file wrong? Is it right that he is with the other three?
thanks bye
Pernix

[Pernix2]

Maybe you don't have Tobruk?

Yes, I have Tobruk, even if the mission I attached is BOB.
Bye

[Yo-Yo]

Try this, just change the path where it says 'your_user_name' and drive letter if appropriate etc.

My game by default puts tobruk.100 in the Parts so I deleted it and it seems to still work. The only complication in the code here is a bool to prevent the trigger firing more than once.

What doesn't work? What mssages do you get in the game console? You can post in the relevant thread for the missions, or PM me?

And I realise my basic mission above is not timer related, my intention/suggestion is just that you get the sound file playing first before then putting it within anything more complicated.

[ATAG_Colander]

I think the issue is that the "player" variable is destructed after the timer function ends.


// Start of timer anonymous function
{

// Variable "player" is created and the wav file loaded
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer("True-Patriot.wav");

// the variable is told to start playing the sound asynchronously.
player.Play();

// function ends and the "player" variable is destroyed which stops the sound from playing
}

Hello Yo-Yo.
thank you so much
Finally this script works, I ran the little mission, and when it is indicated on the screen the music actually starts. except that the music doesn't stop, not even when I leave the mission. I had to close the game, and then it stopped. it should at least end at the end of the mission... or at a definable time.
thanks bye

Glad it worked.

To stop the music when you leave the mission, you can add a blank track of just a second of nothing, and have that trigger when the OnBattleStoped event is triggered:

 public override void OnBattleStoped()
    {
        base.OnBattleStoped();

        System.Media.SoundPlayer player4 = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(folderpath + "blank.wav");
        player4.Play();
}

Note the event is I think mispelt (stoped not stopped)

Again folderpath is constructed elsewhere in my mission code that I cut this from, but is just the path to where the mission files are. If you got music to play, you know how to get another (blank) file to play. The important bit is just the use of the event to trigger an empty wav file as only one can play at a time.
