EmitSound playing clientside

[Duinrahaic]

I've been trying to emit a sound globally to the server, much like a taunt from prophunt. However every time I the function is called, it produces the sound client side instead of serverside.

I did some reading on [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/EmitSound"]Entity:EmitSound()[/URL] and it says that:

[QUOTE]Plays a sound on an entity. If run clientside, the sound will only be heard locally.[/QUOTE]

It is apparent that I emitting the sound over clientside instead of serverside. Below is an excerpt from my code

function TauntFunc()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	if( CurTime() - LastTaunt > RepeatRate) then
		if not  ply:Alive() then return end
		repeat
			rand_taunt = table.Random(TAUNTS)
		until rand_taunt != recent
		recent = rand_taunt
		self.Weapon:EmitSound(rand_taunt, loudness)
		temp = GetConVarNumber("dance_enable")
		LastTaunt = CurTime()
		if (temp == 0)then
			return 
		else 
			ply:ConCommand(table.Random(ACT)) 
		end
	end
end
concommand.Add("Taunt", TauntFunc)

I assume that LocalPlayer() is causing emitsound to play only on the client side, however what should I use to get the player who calls the function/command?

If ( SERVER ) then

?

Oh thanks for pointing that out, I was fiddling with the code.

However I will return with if(Server)then and see if it works!

[Acecool]

That seems to be wrong...

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

Ent:EmitSound when applied on the server will be localized to the entity ( meaning people around the entity hear the sound; but not global ).

If you want a sound heard at the same sound-level use surface.PlaySound ( clientside; network from server the string sound OR index in a shared table of sounds )

[Duinrahaic]

if SERVER then
	function TauntFunc(ply)
		--taunting
		ply.LastTaunt = ply.LastTaunt or 0
		if( CurTime() - ply.LastTaunt > RepeatRate) then
			if not  ply:Alive() then return end
			repeat
				rand_taunt = table.Random(TAUNTS)
			until rand_taunt != recent
			recent = rand_taunt
			ply:EmitSound(rand_taunt, loudness)
			
			--dancing
			temp = GetConVarNumber("dance_enable")
			ply.LastTaunt = CurTime()
			if (temp == 0)then
				return 
			else 
				ply:ConCommand(table.Random(ACT)) 
			end
		end
	end
	concommand.Add("Taunt", TauntFunc)
end

Corrected an error as stated above and changed the entity to ply (player) however the sound is still only emiting on the client side.

If I understand what you are saying, you describing a local area sound, and serverwide (global) sound
I want it to be localized to the entity, similar to the taunting in prop hunt. In which this code is similar to the function GM:ShowSpare1 in their github

function GM:ShowSpare1(pl)

	if GAMEMODE:InRound() && pl:Alive() && (pl:Team() == TEAM_HUNTERS || pl:Team() == TEAM_PROPS) && pl.last_taunt_time + TAUNT_DELAY <= CurTime() && #PROP_TAUNTS > 1 && #HUNTER_TAUNTS > 1 then
	
		-- Select random taunt until it doesn't equal the last taunt.
		repeat
		
			if pl:Team() == TEAM_HUNTERS then
			
				rand_taunt = table.Random(HUNTER_TAUNTS)
				
			else
			
				rand_taunt = table.Random(PROP_TAUNTS)
				
			end
			
		until rand_taunt != pl.last_taunt
		
		pl.last_taunt_time 	= CurTime()
		pl.last_taunt 		= rand_taunt
		
		pl:EmitSound(rand_taunt, 100)
		
	end	
	
end

You could also use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/sound/Play"]sound.Play[/URL], and get the ent's position..

[Acecool]

Yes, ply:EmitSound is "local" when called on the server.

Calling ply:EmitSound on the server will have the player attempt to lipsync the audio and player it over x distance. The entire server / mapwide will NOT hear the sound, only those within x distance.

For map-wide you'd use surface.PlaySound ( after networking data to client and running that on client )

I was just suggesting that becauee he mentioned it to be like prop hunt.

EmitSound is what I want since it only emits in a range of "x", which would be the variable loudness (loudness = 100 in my code). So where could I have possibly gone wrong in my code that the audio is only audible to the client, and not the other players?

Below is what I have so far:

if (SERVER) then
	function TauntFunc(ply)
		--taunting
		ply.LastTaunt = ply.LastTaunt or 0
		if( CurTime() - ply.LastTaunt > RepeatRate) then
			if not  ply:Alive() then return end
			repeat
				rand_taunt = table.Random(TAUNTS)
			until rand_taunt != recent
			recent = rand_taunt
			ply:EmitSound(rand_taunt, loudness)
			
			--dancing
			temp = GetConVarNumber("dance_enable")
			ply.LastTaunt = CurTime()
			if (temp == 0)then
				return 
			else 
				ply:ConCommand(table.Random(ACT)) 
			end
		end
	end
	concommand.Add("Taunt", TauntFunc)
end

I want it to stay with the player, doesn't sound.Play leave it in the location it is called at?

[Exploderguy]

[QUOTE=Duinrahaic;46870030]I want it to stay with the player, doesn't sound.Play leave it in the location it is called at?[/QUOTE]

It does, it sort of depends how long the sound goes for,

also, is this file run serverside?

[Duinrahaic]

Yes, this file will be ran server side.

[Acecool]

EmitSound will follow the player. Additionally if you use CreateSound on an entity, then those will follow the entity as well.

Thanks for all the help! Managed to go full circle until it magically worked. Lol
