one fire sound for a whole burst, how?

[eatKenny]

hi all,

i'd like to ask how to make it only play one fire sound for a whole burst? that will make guns like minigun sounds way more better.

one thought is, instead of playing fire sound when spawn the projectile, play it when shoot. but i need some instructions to do the job.

Youll need to tie up the burst length of time with the sound length of time, otherwise youll end up with a mismatch, you want a sustainer not a oneshot, youll have to do this in DLL when the weapon burst starts.

It may be possible to tweak the sound properties? Play with the following parameters:

• <maxSimultaneous>1</maxSimultaneous>
• <priorityMode>PrioritizeNewest</priorityMode>

Otherwise, I play with sounds in M&Co. Security enforcement mod. Playing the sound when the damage is applied sould work but you would have to overload the Verb_Shoot class...

for me editing the sound length to match the burst length is easy, since the burst length is fixed if you dont edit the Def. i dont like a sustainer because i want a little echo effect after the burst which i dont think a sustainer can have.

i knew the only way is a custom DLL, i took a peak at core DLL earlier and found it in "Verb.cs" under "TryFireNextBurstShot"

Code Select Expand


protected void TryFireNextBurstShot()
    {
      if (this.TryShotSpecialEffect())
      {
        if (this.verbProps.fireSound != null)
          SoundStarter.PlayOneShot(this.verbProps.fireSound, (SoundInfo) this.caster.Position);


the question is can i simply remove this and add it to "Verb_Shoot"?

i've tried it earlier, seems didnt work(actully i think <maxSimultaneous> dont do anything), so i'm heading to the hard way.

Yep, you can overload Verb_Shoot. I did it in M&Co. Sec[...]ment mod. Have a look , umh, better with 2 eyes
