Help, please? Lua Weapon is not playing my sound!

You can use EmitSound() with one argument.

[QUOTE=RetTurtl3;40085898]Hello LuaTheVirus

[URL]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/EmitSound[/URL]

ent:EmitSound requires 3 arquements, so it should look like this

ent:EmitSound("Sound",500, 100)

First is sound, second is the pitch, i think your problem is the sound and pitch aren't being called so you cannot hear it.[/QUOTE]

No, I tried it. It didn't work. The code you see is without all of the comments of the old code, because this website doesn't code it properly, it thought a lot more was commented than what actually was. I used self:EmitSound( SWEP.RechargeSound ) and when it had to stop, I used self:StopSound( SWEP.RechargeSound ) but it didn't even play at all!!

[editline]29th March 2013[/editline]

Oh, yeah, and I tried it with all the self:StopSound( SWEP.RechargeSound ) instances commented out, there still wasn't any sound. I wrote print( "It should work" ) to see if it was actually calling the block of code, and it was, but still no sound!
I also tried it without variables, just writing in the sound itself. It didn't error out, and I've written other sounds like this before, but there still WAS NO SOUND even though it was being told to EmitSound()!!!
The looping firing sound works great! The charging sound for the secondary attack works fine, too! But I can't get the charging sound to work. I had it working with a reload function, but I'd much rather have it charge your ammo.
I want the sound to stop when it shouldn't be playing, and that is especially true for the Recharge sound!
I should say I have gotten the sound to play with EmitSound(), but it just played at every frame until it was done recharging. I don't want that, it makes it sound nearly silent since the next time it hears that it needs to play that sound from the same entity, it stops the old play and starts a new one.

[editline]29th March 2013[/editline]

[QUOTE=jaooe;40086042]You can use EmitSound() with one argument.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I know, but it won't categorize it and the sound won't come from the weapon. EmitSound( "sounds/blah.wav" ) doesn't do the same thing as self:EmitSound( "sounds/blah.wav" ) !!

[editline]29th March 2013[/editline]

Oh, yeah... and if I ever stop talking, the world is a much better place, but in the past I haven't needed the pitch nor the sound level. For all of my other, simpler weapons I don't specify those, and the first time I did it just stopped the sound, the second time I tried it with only pitch and it caused an error.

[editline]29th March 2013[/editline]

I'm putting this work on hold until I get responses for things I haven't tried, yet. I think I'm going to try for my two-year-long desire, make a swep for the Vectors from Elfen Lied.

Tbh, I didn't even read your post cause they're so long so i watched the video and skipped to your weapon and assumed it was a pitch issue. :v:

[luavirusfree]

No, it's not a pitch issue, it just doesn't play. I've gotten it to play before, but you wouldn't hear the whole thing until it was done playing it. Now it just doesn't play at all. I hate people like you, you should know, people who say "Oh, it's too long, didn't read it!" or "tldr"

[editline]29th March 2013[/editline]

Also, I can get it working perfectly fine with Reload, but I don't like the instant jump from 0% to 100%, I like it to charge just like the Airboat Gun and Helicopter's Gun.

I've figured out your problem now Short code sounds doesn't like to be ran serverside but love being ran clientside

[lua]
if CLIENT then
self:EmitSound( .. code .. )
print("test")
end
[/lua]

And that will work i've tested my self

[b]Edited:[/b]

I've tested it doesn't run serverside in singleplayer but fine on clientside

multiplayer it works on client and serverside

I'm not sure this needs another thread, by the way, but I don't know how to use Bullet CallBack functions. Is there a page on the wiki, because I can't find it? That is to say, I can't find the help I need, the variables I can use, the variables the callback function takes.

I'm not sure this needs another thread, by the way, but I don't know how to use Bullet CallBack functions. Is there a page on the wiki, because I can't find it? That is to say, I can't find the help I need, the variables I can use, the variables the callback function takes.[/QUOTE]

[url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index7161.html]Bullet CallBack function[/url]

[luavirusfree]

That's not the callback function!! I mean a function used for every single bullet, where I can get hit pos and if I wanted to I could make an explosion at every hit point, or an effect, etc. My weapon shoots two OR three (it alternates) bullets in one shot, so I can't make the AR2Impact effect at the hit position, especially since it doesn't shoot straight... how would I do that?

[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Structures/Bullet"]Look here![/URL]

In this case, it'd be this:
[lua]burret.Callback = function(<Variables>) <Do Effects> end[/lua]

[editline]30th March 2013[/editline]

Oh, and even with AddCSLuaFile() at the top of the file, it's only one file, shared.lua, it doesn't play the sound!!! Do I have to do AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" ) or something??

[editline]30th March 2013[/editline]

Another thing is this:
If I remove the explosive attack from secondary fire, which fires all bullets at one time in one place causing an explosion, and use secondary fire to re-charge instead, I can get this working fine. I don't want to get rid of the explosive attack, though. I notice that the AirBoat's Gun doesn't play a charging sound, but I would much rather have the charging sound, especially with my plans... oh, and this attack kills GMan and the Antlion Guardian in one hit!

Ok let's do it bit by bit Send me your files upload to dropbox, and try

[lua]/*
-- Disable
*/[/lua]
[lua]function SWEP:Think()
if CurTime() >= self.ReloadDone && !self.FirstShot then self.FirstShot=true end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) then self.LSound:Stop() end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) && self.JustStop then self:EmitSound( self.FiringEnd ); self.JustStop = false; self:Reload() end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK2 ) then self.CSound:Stop(); self.IsCharging = false end
if self.ActualAmmo <= 2 then self:Reload() end

if self.ChargeLVL >= 0.8 or CurTime() > (self.ChargeStart+1.2) then self:FireExplosive() end

if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) then self.Recharging = false end
if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK2 ) && self.ActualAmmo >= 105 then self.Recharging = false end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( bit.bor( IN_ATTACK, IN_ATTACK2 ) ) && self.ActualAmmo < 105 then self:Reload() end

if self.Recharging && CurTime() >= self.NextCharge && self.ActualAmmo < 105 then
if !self.PlayedSound then
self:EmitSound( self.RechargeSound )
self.PlayedSound = true
end
self.ActualAmmo = self.ActualAmmo + 1
if self.ActualAmmo < 105 then
self.NextCharge = CurTime() + 0.02
end
self:SetClip1( math.floor( ( self.ActualAmmo / 105 ) * 100 ) )
end

if self.ActualAmmo >= 105 then self.Recharging = false; self:StopSound( self.RechargeSound ) end
end[/lua]

Try disabling SWEP:Think() since your coding is weird and let's start with seeing if the sound plays :headache:

That means

to

[lua]
/*
function SWEP:Think()
if CurTime() >= self.ReloadDone && !self.FirstShot then self.FirstShot=true end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) then self.LSound:Stop() end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) && self.JustStop then self:EmitSound( self.FiringEnd ); self.JustStop = false; self:Reload() end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK2 ) then self.CSound:Stop(); self.IsCharging = false end
if self.ActualAmmo <= 2 then self:Reload() end

if self.ChargeLVL >= 0.8 or CurTime() > (self.ChargeStart+1.2) then self:FireExplosive() end

if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK ) then self.Recharging = false end
if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_ATTACK2 ) && self.ActualAmmo >= 105 then self.Recharging = false end
if !self.Owner:KeyDown( bit.bor( IN_ATTACK, IN_ATTACK2 ) ) && self.ActualAmmo < 105 then self:Reload() end

if self.Recharging && CurTime() >= self.NextCharge && self.ActualAmmo < 105 then
if !self.PlayedSound then
self:EmitSound( self.RechargeSound )
self.PlayedSound = true
end
self.ActualAmmo = self.ActualAmmo + 1
if self.ActualAmmo < 105 then
self.NextCharge = CurTime() + 0.02
end
self:SetClip1( math.floor( ( self.ActualAmmo / 105 ) * 100 ) )
end

if self.ActualAmmo >= 105 then self.Recharging = false; self:StopSound( self.RechargeSound ) end
end
*/[/lua]

And see if there is any problem if the sound works then you know it's coming from here :headache:

[luavirusfree]

I need the think function, though! I'm not going to rely on timer.Simple, it isn't as accurate!

[editline]30th March 2013[/editline]

I already know it works without using think, but I don't want it to instantaneously re-charge to 100% ammo!!!

Oh, and my code has changed. I would re-upload but I don't want to have to remove all of the comments again!
For an example on how it has changed, the secondary fire now takes six shots to kill a Helicopter rather than 5.

Okay, I guess I found what I needed:
[quote=wiki.garrysmod.com][B]Additional Notes[/B]

The arguments of the callback function are (CTakeDamageInfo dmgInfo, Vector hitPos, Vector direction)[/quote]

That still doesn't help me with the sound problem, though.

[editline]30th March 2013[/editline]

Where is this "Dropbox" and how do I share it??

[luavirusfree]

The weapon still doesn't emit the sound, and I ran into a similar problem when another weapon: the Half-Life 2 shotgun, but where you must use it similarly to the way the NPC's do. When you go to reload it tells it to play self.ReloadSound which is set to Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.NPC_Reload" ). When you fire, it automatically pumps for you and has to play self.Pump: Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.Special1" ). These variables are set as such within the start of the file:
[lua]SWEP.ShootSound = Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.NPC_Single" )
SWEP.EmptySound = Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.Empty" )
SWEP.ReloadSound = Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.NPC_Reload" )
SWEP.Pump = Sound( "Weapon_Shotgun.Special1" )[/lua]
I've even tried making a separate function for playing the pump sound where it doesn't play if you're reloading, but the sound keeps playing when I reload, self.Pump. The only reason I say that's similar is that both problems involve sounds not playing; the reloading sound doesn't play at all!

[editline]3rd April 2013[/editline]

Oh, and it's kinda funny since I have another working shotgun where you have to manually pump it, and all of its sounds work perfectly fine.

[_Kilburn]

Okay I've read your code and honestly it's a little bit messy. For instance what's the exact point of ActualAmmo? I understand that you want to display your ammo as a percentage, but that also brings a lot more potential issues. For instance your weapon will not work correctly on a multiplayer server at all, because its state will not be consistent between the client and the server, and you will end up displaying a false ammo counter.

It also means that the state of your weapon is really hard to predict. You said you made sure that the recharging sound is played, but are you sure nothing causes it to stop right afterwards?
Also be careful, some soundscripts (soundscripts are basically sound names that don't end with .wav or .mp3, just in case you didn't know) are set to play on a specific sound channel, and some sound channels can have a maximum number of sounds playing at once. If you don't know where to start, try replacing "NPC_AttackHelicopter.ChargeGun" with "npc/attack_helicopter/aheli_charge_up.wav" and see what happens.

Also add prints everywhere to make sure that your weapon isn't doing something it's not supposed to do. It could be trying to stop the reloading sound right after it starts, or playing another sound on top of it, possibly overriding it. Sometimes it's hard to tell just by looking at the code.

Also RetTurtl3, no offense but stop helping people please.

[luavirusfree]

ActualAmmo lets me display the ammo as a percent... Let me make up a variable, totalclip = 169. It sets the clip size to (ActualAmmo / totalclip) * 100 to make it display as a percentage. It has to round that, though. I only made it for singleplayer, and I can't test multiplayer anymore... laptop's going to shit.

I checked about 43 times to see if there was any code telling it to stop, I can't find any. I even used the search function for some of those checks. I've also gotten the sound to play before, and it wants to play when the only thing you can hear is the birds in construct, or jack shit on flat grass. AND I'VE ALREADY TRIED USING THE RAW NAME, it didn't change a thing except the code!

I've done the prints, and the prints work perfectly... as for trying to stop the sound, unless its something written in the source code/garry's code, that's not part of my weapon. If it is, please let me know!

Don't be an ass to RetTurtl3! He's probably my only hope... :rolleyes:

Well then... I don't know. The only weird thing I see in your code is the fact that you're playing the reloading sound twice, but that shouldn't be a problem. Is the code in your first post the most recent one? Could you post your base too? I'll try to debug this myself and see why this screws up, because looking at your code, it really shouldn't.

In the meantime, try emitting the sound from self.Owner rather than self. It's not a good way to do it but it's just for testing. If that still doesn't work then the problem definitely comes from your code.
If you want to debug it further by yourself, try adding more prints. I know you've already done prints, but have you added a print right before every single EmitSound and StopSound, and every Play/Stop call from sounds created using CreateSound? In those desperate cases you should really consider every possibility.

[luavirusfree]

The reload sound plays twice? No, it isn't the most recent. The actual code has comments that screw up this forum's lua scripting thing, making it think half of the thing is a comment! I play the Recharge Sound twice because I'm just trying to get it to actually play!!!

Didn't you mention that you were driving drunk/high at 90mph?

[luavirusfree]

I WASN'T HIGH... fuck it. You are now dead to me Ericson666, yes I was driving drunk but I've done that before with no repercussions. The accident only happened because A: The road was shitty, B: He told me "dirt roads are the best roads for speeding", and C: He was fucking around which caused him to fall out of the window, distracting me, making me want to turn around, causing me to turn too fast for the speed and skid. The evidence proves that about 90% of it is his fault, 20% being our drinking and 10% being my drinking, 10% being his. And even that is generous to him, I didn't want to drink but he convinced me to... how did he? that I don't know.
90 is an estimate, the true speed is unknown, no one knows how fast I was going, not even the police. They only estimate that it was a very fast speed, and the road has no posted speed limit.
And that's only LOOSELY summing it up... now, yes... there was THC in my blood, but it was a very minute trace amount. Why? Because a couple of months before that day I had smoked, and Marijuana stays in your blood stream for many, many months! Marijuana stays in your body for up to 90 days!

It doesn't mean I'm dumb, it means I'm easily persuaded, and even saying that is giving it too much. He has a very sly tongue. Honestly, I've NEVER wanted to drive drunk, and I didn't even want to drink that day. I also wasn't very easily convinced to break my will, but he somehow did it. I don't recall how, though. Why don't I recall? I can't recall because his idiocy caused me traumatic brain damage, wiping weeks of my memories away.
Oh, and yeah... I was 17 and I had just gotten the car maybe a month before. The alignment was off, but no one in my family was aware of that. I was fighting to get the car checked out and brought up to pristine health, but my family didn't, and still doesn't, have much money.

And anyway you look at it, what I said in the past was only speculation. What I said in that post, and this post, are all true, proven facts!
