Round Beginning Sounds

Garry's Mod coding
#1

This code doesn’t emit any sounds. Does anyone have a clue why? Pre-thanks :slight_smile:

It’s supposed to play a specific sound for each player based on their role.


--Config start--
local sounds = {
innocent = "roundsounds/innocent_start.mp3",
detective = "roundsounds/detective_start.mp3",
traitor = "roundsounds/traitor_start.mp3"
}
--Config end  --

for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
util.PrecacheSound( "sound/".. v )
end

if SERVER then
util.AddNetworkString( "RoundStartSound" )
for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
resource.AddFile( "sound/"..v )
end

hook.Add("RoundStateChange", "RoundStartSound", function(state, statetoo)
if state != ROUND_ACTIVE and statetoo != ROUND_ACTIVE then return end
net.Start( "RoundStartSound" )
net.Broadcast()
end )
else
local role = nil
local client = LocalPlayer()

net.Receive("RoundStartSound", function()
if client:GetTraitor() then
role = "traitor"
elseif client:GetDetective() then
role = "detective"
else
role = "innocent"
end
surface.PlaySound( sounds[role] )
end )
end

Is that all one file?

#3

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like he’s trying to get the path of the sound via a string index, when his table actually has numerical indexes.
He’s just assigning variables inside the table rather than assigning string indexes to the values.

#4

Yes it’s all one file, named game_sounds.lua, put into lua/autorun/

#5

Try changing your config table to…
[lua]
local sounds = { }
sounds[“innocent”] = “roundsounds/innocent_start.mp3”
sounds[“detective”] = “roundsounds/detective_start.mp3”
sounds[“traitor”] = “roundsounds/traitor_start.mp3”
[/lua]

#6

Also, he’s not using the net library correctly. There is no clientside code.

#7

Is that a difficult thing to set up?

#8

Try this:


--Config start--
local sounds = {
    ["innocent"] = "roundsounds/innocent_start.mp3",
    ["detective"] = "roundsounds/detective_start.mp3",
    ["traitor"] = "roundsounds/traitor_start.mp3"
}
--Config end  --

for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
    util.PrecacheSound( "sound/".. v )
end

if SERVER then
    util.AddNetworkString( "RoundStartSound" )

    for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
        resource.AddFile( "sound/"..v )
    end


    hook.Add("RoundStateChange", "RoundStartSound", function(state, statetoo)
        if state ~= ROUND_ACTIVE and statetoo ~= ROUND_ACTIVE then return end
        net.Start( "RoundStartSound" )
        net.Broadcast()
    end )

end

if CLIENT then

    local role
    local client = LocalPlayer()

    net.Receive("RoundStartSound", function()
        if client:GetTraitor() then
            role = "traitor"
        elseif client:GetDetective() then
            role = "detective"
        else
            role = "innocent"
        end
    
        surface.PlaySound( sounds[role] )
    
    end )
end

Thanks for trying. :downs: No sound emitted though :tinfoil:

#10

You’ve sent those sounds to the client, right? As a check, try this and tell me if anything prints in chat when the round ends.


--Config start--
local sounds = {
    ["innocent"] = "roundsounds/innocent_start.mp3",
    ["detective"] = "roundsounds/detective_start.mp3",
    ["traitor"] = "roundsounds/traitor_start.mp3"
}
--Config end  --

for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
    util.PrecacheSound( "sound/".. v )
end

if SERVER then
    util.AddNetworkString( "RoundStartSound" )

    for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
        resource.AddFile( "sound/"..v )
    end


    hook.Add("RoundStateChange", "RoundStartSound", function(state, statetoo)
        if state ~= ROUND_ACTIVE and statetoo ~= ROUND_ACTIVE then return end
        net.Start( "RoundStartSound" )
        net.Broadcast()
    end )

end

if CLIENT then

    local role
    local client = LocalPlayer()

    net.Receive("RoundStartSound", function()
        if client:GetTraitor() then
            role = "traitor"
        elseif client:GetDetective() then
            role = "detective"
        else
            role = "innocent"
        end
    
        LocalPlayer():ChatPrint( "Sound played!" )
        surface.PlaySound( sounds[role] )
    
    end )
end
#11

Yes, they download properly into download/sound/roundsounds/file.mp3

And now that I think about it, it says local sounds… isn’t the folder named SOUND?

EDIT: Nothing pops up

#12

That means the hook was never run. I’m not familiar with the RoundStateChange hook; can you try replacing it with this?


--Config start--
local sounds = {
    ["innocent"] = "roundsounds/innocent_start.mp3",
    ["detective"] = "roundsounds/detective_start.mp3",
    ["traitor"] = "roundsounds/traitor_start.mp3"
}
--Config end  --

for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
    util.PrecacheSound( "sound/".. v )
end

if SERVER then

    for k, v in pairs( sounds ) do
        resource.AddFile( "sound/"..v )
    end

end

if CLIENT then

    local role
    local client = LocalPlayer()

    hook.Add( "TTTEndRound", "EndRoundSound", function()
        if client:GetTraitor() then
            role = "traitor"
        elseif client:GetDetective() then
            role = "detective"
        else
            role = "innocent"
        end
    
        LocalPlayer():ChatPrint( "Sound played!" )
        surface.PlaySound( sounds[role] )
    
    end )
end

Thank you gode_gs… It didn’t work, however you always seem to be the one helping the most around here :slight_smile:

While doing this I also had a job up on coderhire (because I was desperate to get this done by the end of the day), and it happened quickly. Turns out it’s so much simpler and smaller of a code. But you guys were right about needing to do it for the client as well.

/solves :rock:

#14

Well, just tested this on a local server and it worked fine; no idea what your issue was with it, but glad you got it solved.

#15

Maybe a server restart was required. Which is unusual because these types of codes don’t usually require a restart for me.

#16

Just so you know his lua was valid. It is a nice little feature with lua so you don’t have to type out the brackets and make it a string. See: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TablesTutorial
