Moose Goose Warning Sound

[JaccK1618]

So there is this mod called Return of Giants that adds the original Moose Goose and Dragonfly spawning mechanics. The issue is that the Moose Goose does not have a warning sound, but the Dragonfly does. Me and a friend on steam are trying to add the Moose Goose warning sound by copying the Dragonfly sound.

Here are some screenshots;

Original Dragonfly warning code in the mod:

Is there anything that is wrong?

What exactly is the error that you have? Just no sound at all?

If that's the case, is it working if you just let the sound play like this?

I mean with inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound(sound).

[JaccK1618]

The sound will not play.

The sound won't play at all. I'll get him to try it.

He's asking if you put it into the modmain.

The warning sound will not work (Moose Goose)

[Monti18]

The problem is that the sound path is not correct.

If you look at the code, you see that the path is always dontstarve_DLC001/creatures/moose/something, but in your file its goosemoose instead of moose.

So replace the goosemoose with moose and it should work.

I tried it with this in the command line and heard the sound:

ThePlayer.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve_DLC001/creatures/moose/distant")

Is there anything else wrong or just changing that work?

I think it should be just this, the rest looks good!

Ok it still doesn't work here's the new Dropbox. Make sure to check everything because we really have no idea what we're doing.

I you spawn the prefab with c_spawn"goosewarning_lvl4" directly beneath you, you will hear the sound. I'm not sure why you don't hear it otherwise, but this would take quite some time to find out and I don't really have the time for that.

Add some prints in the goosespawner component in DoWarningSound and OnUpdate to check if the warning sound is played and where it gets stuck.

Add some prints in the goosespawner component in DoWarningSound and OnUpdate to check if the warning sound is played and where it gets stuck.

So like,

function self:DoWarningSound(_targetplayer)
    --Players near _targetplayer will hear the warning sound from the
    --same direction and volume offset from their own local positions
--Moose/Goose doesn't actually have a warning sound. It will just show up uninvited.
    SpawnPrefab("goosewarning_lvl"..
          (((_timetoattack == nil or
        _timetoattack < 30) and "4") or
        (_timetoattack < 60 and "3") or
        (_timetoattack < 90 and "2") or
                             "1")
    ).Transform:SetPosition(_targetplayer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
c_spawn"goosewarning_lvl4"
end

 

that?

[Monti18]

No I meant using the console of the game. If you press ' it opens the console and there you can enter it and hear the sound.

function self:DoWarningSound(_targetplayer)
  	print("now playing warning sound")
  	print(_targetplayer)
    --Players near _targetplayer will hear the warning sound from the
    --same direction and volume offset from their own local positions
--Moose/Goose doesn't actually have a warning sound. It will just show up uninvited.
    SpawnPrefab("goosewarning_lvl"..
          (((_timetoattack == nil or
        _timetoattack < 30) and "4") or
        (_timetoattack < 60 and "3") or
        (_timetoattack < 90 and "2") or
                             "1")
    ).Transform:SetPosition(_targetplayer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
end

Using prints is something like this, there you can see if it happens or not in the server logs and also the arguments that are passed.

Then you can see where the function is not working, which means where the prints are stopping if you are doing it all the way with the onupdate function.
