TriggeredAmbientSound - an old issue?

[Sat42]

Sorry for perhaps opening open doors but I would like to know if TriggeredAmbientSound could be made to work as intended?
Old web pages (BeyondUnreal) suggest it was always an issue and coders came with alternatives, such as YoMammy but I can't get my hands on such alternatives it seems.
Meanwhile I replaced the use of TriggeredAmbientSound with a mover which emits sound. Not the most elegant solution I know, so if anyone has a working trigger for this purpose or simply knows how TriggeredAmbientSound can be made to work, I would be grateful!

You can use the WorkingTriggeredAmbientSound from ONP (code below), it works for both UT and 227 .

Code: Select all

// ============================================================
// This package is for use with the Partial Conversion, Operation: Na Pali, by Team Vortex.
// WorkingTriggeredAmbientSound : Triggering changes the actor's ambientsound
// ============================================================

class WorkingTriggeredAmbientSound expands Triggers;
var () bool bInitiallyPlaying;  //is the sound playing on default?
var () sound TheSound; //the ambience.

function PreBeginPlay()
{
  Super.PreBeginPlay();
  if (bInitiallyPlaying)
    ambientsound=TheSound;
}

function Trigger( actor Other, pawn EventInstigator )
{
  if (AmbientSound!=None)
    AmbientSound=none;
  else
    AmbientSound=TheSound;
}

state() TriggerToggled
{
}


state() OppositeWhileTriggered
{
  function Trigger( actor Other, pawn EventInstigator )
  {
   if (AmbientSound==none^^bInitiallyPlaying)
     global.Trigger(other,eventinstigator);
  }
  function UnTrigger( actor Other, pawn EventInstigator )
  {
   if (AmbientSound!=none^^!bInitiallyPlaying)
     global.Trigger(other,eventinstigator);
  }

}

(I'm also assuming you know how to create a new class in UED)

Hope this helps, Sat!

Sneaks silently in, grab this code, and sneaks out.

Thanks a lot SteadZ!! This is great - and yes I just about know how to create a new class in UED

Cheers mate!
