New Sound for Animations

[Eranthis]

This is something I've noticed for the character WX78 and his perk of eating gears. The default food crunch audio from his eating animation is silenced and replaced with the wx78/levelup sound, which had me wondering how one would implement a way to replace the audio for animations for actions like eating, healing, or building.

Here's the code from wx78 as an example:

local function oneat(inst, food)
    if food and food.components.edible and food.components.edible.foodtype == FOODTYPE.GEARS then
        inst.level = inst.level + 1
        applyupgrades(inst)
        inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/characters/wx78/levelup")
    end
end

Does anyone know how to utilize this to apply to other items? AND since this is part of wx78's prefab file, it most likely only applies to his character whereas I'm more curious how this can be applicable to mod items for anyone to use.

There's a lot of options on overriding certain sounds through ListenForEvent and SetOn*something*Fn(function), as their the most common in the prefab files of the game. Problem is getting the events for listenforevent isn't simple, as I can't find all possible event names so its a bit of a search to say the least. Plus you'll need the soundemitter code+search path(s) and sound files for custom sounds (if you plan on using non dontstarve game sounds). If anything I'll give a couple of examples to say the least:

local function oneaten(inst, eater)
    eater.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/eat", "eating")   
end

local function fnab()

inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()

inst:AddComponent("edible")

inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(oneaten)

----------------------------------------------------

local function OnBuilt(inst)
inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/tent_craft")   
end

local function fnab()

inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()

inst:ListenForEvent("onbuilt", onbuiltfn)

The real problem, is the eating sounds are played in the wilson stategraphs and are specifically not played when the edible item is foodtype.gears, modifying stategraphs is pretty annoying as to properly modify them requires making them twice one for quick eat and one for eating meat and twice more for clients.

I have experimented with killing the sound loop for "eating" with minimal success. I believe the sound loop could be killed, but I always manage to cut it off after a fraction of a second of it playing.

Obviously you don't want to make them foodtype.gears to prevent wx78 from acting wierd if he consumes them.

I am curious what sound you plan coach to say. But there is nothing stopping you from playing custom sounds atm, if you don't mind hearing the default ones or working on cloning custom eat and quick eat stategraphs for your character.

Well if anyone finds a flawless way to replace audio, let me know. I have the sounds ready to go but I just need the proper coding.
