Title: Low-Heart Alert
Post by: Mewgull on June 23, 2007, 09:23:58 pm: Hey
I feel like an idiot asking this question, but how would I make a sound loop when the hearts are low, on Goodnight's Oot heart engine?
I think I might have the solution but I don't know if it's right, and it may consistantly play the sound, so here it is:
Code: [Select]
if global.Heart<=2.75{ sound_loop(global.lowheart_S)}
Thanks a lot:

Post by: Mewgull on June 25, 2007, 04:59:39 pm: if I put it in the step event, it will make an annoying sound playing the sound constantly for every step of frames.
But I'll try anyways ;)

EDIT: Just as I suspected... didn't work...

Post by: Mewgull on June 25, 2007, 05:21:28 pm: Thanks.
But what would I have to put to do the check? DX
I am just a little stressed right now, so I can't think properly, sorry.

Post by: Scooternew on June 25, 2007, 05:44:31 pm: I think it's something like if the hearts are less than 1/3 of the total, then the sound plays. So maybe check if the heart number is less than the total div 3 or just divided by 3.

Post by: Mewgull on June 25, 2007, 06:26:09 pm: what would be the code for that? sorry for asking :\
Title: Re: Low-Heart Alert
Post by: cazallx on June 26, 2007, 12:39:40 pm: like this

Code: [Select]
if (global.heart)<=(global.totalheart div 3){ if !sound_playing { sound_play(global.lowheart_S) } }

Post by: Mewgull on June 26, 2007, 02:18:45 pm: I had to make a few modification to that code, but thanks for it! :)
I always forget about that little "!" XD

EDIT: It's playing three of the sounds at a time, now :\

Post by: Mewgull on June 26, 2007, 07:47:33 pm: I won't send my file that I am actually making my game in, but I will send the engine I used for the hearts.
The code doesn't work there either.
Give me a sec, and I'll upload it in the edit of this post.

Code: [Select]
if (global.hearts)<=(global.totalhearts div 3){ playcount = (playcount + 1) mod 30; if(playcount == 0) { sound_play(Low); } } else { playcount = 0; }
It plays it once a second (with a room speed of 30).

goodnight has beeps that loop perfectly on his sound effects page.
