How clever

Posted: **Sat Jan 05, 2013 7:45 pm**

for my original game recreation I simply use a custom sound that has a real fade-out

Yes, a custom sound is propably the best solution.

I've updated the script a bit in my post, now I only need 4 sounds for the fadeout and the the camerashake is randomized.

Code: Select all

 party:shakeCamera(math.random(0.2)+0.1, 10)

The duration of the shake has been changed from 8 to 10 because of the fadeout.

EDIT: Found a problem and fixed it (edited in my post):

The timer runs too slow if it isn't set in the same level as the player level. So it's better to spawn it to party.level instead of setting it in the editor.

I use a universal timer system (timer on every level, only the timer that matches player level has effect) to alleviate that problem.

I'm not sure I understand what that math.random range will end up being, but the 10 quake is crazy shaky

The 10 is the duration of the effect, the random number the intesity of the shakyyness. It ranges from 0.1 to 0.3.

ah, I see, that makes more sense!

Hi

I've been trying to create a similar effect.

I've defined the sound in mod_assets/scripts/sounds/sounds.lua

Code: Select all

defineSound{
   name = "earthquakestop",
   filename = "assets/samples/env/earthquake_01.wav",
   loop = false,
   volume = 0.4,
   minDistance = 1,
   maxDistance = 6,
}

When I run the dungeon in preview in the editor I get the error "warning! no such sample: earthquakestop"

Is there something I have to do to get it to recognise it?

you might need to reload or restart

You could also try placing the definition in mod_assets/scripts/sounds.lua instead, rather than using the extra /sounds sub-directory, since the init.lua imports it already.

The reload did the trick ... duh!.

Suggestion to devs ... allow ability to auto reload assets

The path was correct and that is the one loaded by init.lua
