Ambient Radio Sounds

How would I add ambient radio sounds, so that units in the Civil Protection would broadcast Overwatch radio updates from their mask? Just want to add realism and similarity to the officers in Half-Life 2.

Maybe also an option to enable/disable radio ambience.

 

PHP:

for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
            if (self:PlayerIsCombine(v)) then
                v:EmitSound("soundpath");
            end;
        end;

I made something for this. Will post it soon.

 

can't wait to see

 

A repeating timer would also be useful for this, or better yet, make it so when a config setting is enabled/disabled.

 

Could someone make this a plugin if possible? I've been requesting this feature for a VERY long time. Thanks for replying.

 

Will make it a fully fledged plugin soon.

PHP:

function beep(player)
    for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
            timer.Simple(1.5, function()
            local chance = math.random(1, 20)
            local chance2 = math.random(1, 5)
            for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
                if (self:PlayerIsCombine(v) and chance == 1) then
                    if (chance2 = 1) then
                        v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_prosecuteD7");
                    elseif (chance2 = 2) then
                        v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_tohighpoints.wav");
                    elseif (chance2 = 3) then
                        v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_leader9dead.wav");
                    elseif (chance2 = 4) then
                        v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_negativecontainment.wav");
                    elseif (chance2 = 5) then
                        v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_sundown3dead.wav");
                    end;--End chance
                end;--End combine
            end;--End for
        end);--End timer
    end;--End for
end;--End function


 

Is it possible to make some basic radio sounds on there, like "10-4" and "Copy that" as if multiple units are responding to each other?

 

Excellent work, I appreciate the response and release. The plugin would be nice to have indeed, though a few suggestions for the plugin:

1. Dispatch radio-voice emits instead of another units' (makes it more tied with the canon)
2. The ability for a single player to turn off the automated responses via a chat command (though I still understand that the plugin can easily be disabled)

 

I made a small mistake in that post. People who know Lua here, don't bash me for accidentally putting 2 for k, v in ipairs.

And okay 0033.

 

Code:

function beep(player)
	for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
			timer.Simple(1.5, function()
			local chance = math.random(1, 20)
			local chance2 = math.random(1, 5)
			for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
				if (self:PlayerIsCombine(v) and chance == 1) then
					if (chance2 = 1) then
						v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_prosecuteD7");
					elseif (chance2 = 2) then
						v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_tohighpoints.wav");
					elseif (chance2 = 3) then
						v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_leader9dead.wav");
					elseif (chance2 = 4) then
						v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_negativecontainment.wav");
					elseif (chance2 = 5) then
						v:EmitSound("npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_sundown3dead.wav");
					end;--End chance
				end;--End combine
			end;--End for
		end);--End timer
	end;--End for
end;--End function

Code:

function beep(player)
	local chance = math.random(1, 20)
	local sounds = {"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_prosecuteD7",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_tohighpoints.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_leader9dead.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_negativecontainment.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_sundown3dead.wav"}
	for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
		timer.Simple(1.5, function()
			if (self:PlayerIsCombine(v) and chance == 1) then
				v:EmitSound(table.Random(sounds)]);
			end;--End combine
		end);--End timer
	end;--End for
end;--End function

 

Code:

function beep(player)
	local chance = math.random(1, 20)
	local sounds = {"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_prosecuteD7",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_tohighpoints.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_leader9dead.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_negativecontainment.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_sundown3dead.wav"}
	for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
		timer.Simple(1.5, function()
			if (self:PlayerIsCombine(v) and chance == 1) then
				v:EmitSound(table.Random(sounds)]);
			end;--End combine
		end);--End timer
	end;--End for
end;--End function

Where do I put this code?

 

Could you possibly do one for other factions also, would use this. Good work.

 

Code:

[ERROR] lua/autorun/ambientradio.lua:14: ')' expected near ']'
  1. unknown - lua/autorun/ambientradio.lua:0

 

Don't use the one I posted here.

It was badly made and I'm just going to revamp it.

 

If you remove the ], it is likely it will work.

 

Also need to replace "self" with "Schema".

 

And In what file must you put it?

 

I recommend putting it into a plugin, otherwise you can put it in sv_hooks, inside the schema, into the PlayerThink function, making sure this code is ran everytime with a certain delay. Or, you put it into PlayerCharacterLoaded, and make it start a timer.
And into PlayerCharacterUnloaded, you kill that timer.

 

I put it in my plugin sv_hooks.lua:

Code:

local PLUGIN = PLUGIN;

function PLUGIN:PlayerThink(player, curTime, infoTable)
	local chance = math.random(1, 20)
	local sounds = {"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_prosecuteD7",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_tohighpoints.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_leader9dead.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_negativecontainment.wav",
	"npc/combine_soldier/vo/prison_soldier_sundown3dead.wav"}
	for k, v in ipairs( _player.GetAll() ) do
		timer.Simple(1.5, function()
			if (Schema:PlayerIsCombine(v) and chance == 1) then
				v:EmitSound(table.Random(sounds));
			end;--End combine
		end);--End timer
	end;--End for
end;

But it doesn't work. What did I do bad?

Thanks

 

Just don't use this. It shouldn't be in PlayerThink anyways.
