question about sounds

Archive: 7 posts


I'm having a weird issue with sounds. I'm trying to make a level where multiple players control a cursor thingy. When one person clicks on something, a sound plays. However, only the host can hear the sound consistently for some reason...the other players hear the sound maybe 1% of the time...the "position sound" setting is turned off...so it shouldn't have anything to do with the closeness of the players....2014-03-04 01:08:00

Hi AmazingKittyCat,
that's strange. Hmmm...
If its a bug, you could try saving the object that controls the sound as an object and pasting it on a blank level, see if it now works...otherwise...
See if whats triggering the sound is specific to a player... like a seat, it may be linking the sound to only that particular player to hear.
you could try wiring the buttons on the player seats up to tags instead of directly to the sound logic
(eg. if player one is in a seat have their X BUTTON wired to a tag labelled PLR1X. Then have the sound they play on a piece of invis hologram.
on this have an infinite tag sensor (for PLRX) wired to that sound logic.)
Reason I'm thinking this is if the sound is in the level and is not directly controlled by a specific players seat (its the tag that activates it), it may play to all as its there, in the level and not on the seat. might work.
Are there a lot of sounds playing in the level already, If a lot of sounds play at once (music etc) the sound may not play.This is just one thing might help.. lets know if its of use.

i know this may not work or sound weird, but I have a close friend of mine who uses a single ear mic thats on his right side. so whenver in create if he is on my right side he cant hear me, he has to be on my left side to hear me. weirdest thing. also, if u accidently discovered how to make sound effects specific to a player that would be awesome!!!!!!!!2014-03-06 18:19:00

Thank you for the replies everyone. I don't know if it's lag. It's not exactly specific to the player either. Just specific to the host. I have the sounds set to "play once" when the player clicks a button or something. When I play the level as the host, I can hear the sounds perfectly but my friends can't hear them. When they play it as host, they can hear it perfectly and I can't hear them....
Ummm is it because I have the controllinator set to "lead player only" ? Some of the sounds are in there...I'll try moving them out of the controllinator and see if it works then.

By the way, I don't have the buttons wired up directly to the sound logic. I have a cursor thingy, and when a player presses the X button, a tag activates on the cursor, and if that tag impacts something, a sound effect plays.

Let us know, cause if this is the case then, the isolating sound discovery could make for some good hide and seek stuff. For instance if everyone is in a controllinator and when another player gets near an alarm will sound, but the thing is. Only u can hear it. if u get what your trying to do to work, let us know and if possible would you explore this isolated sound discovery? Cause if it is true that u can isolate sounds that is awesome!!2014-03-07 19:54:00

Hi AmazingKittyCat,
I'm not sure myself, but I'd imagine if some sounds are on the players controlinator and its set to lead player, then only the lead player will hear those sounds. try setting it to all players instead. My best guess my friend, is to go through your logic and see if there is something that is letting it play for the host player, that others cant here. Try putting a invis piece of hologram down and have your select sound on this. on this you could have tag sensors to for each players x button into an OR gate. As the sound is not on a specific controllinator, anyone pressing their X will activate it. Lets know how you get on and good luck
