Sequential playing of audio files?

[DarkFire]

OK, I'm trying to set up some realistic voice overs for a mission I'm designing. For example, when a helicopter enters a holding pattern I have a voice over from "command" that tells the fixed-wing pilot to proceed with the designated SEAD mission. The helicopters then exit the holding pattern when all ADF targets have been destroyed.

 

So, I have one audio file that's a message from the helicopter pilot that he's entered the holding pattern and a second audio file from mission command acknowledging the status update from the chopper pilot and telling the player to ingress to the target.

 

I have the necessary trigger zone set up at the holding waypoint. At the moment what happens is that both audio files play simultaneously which is REALLY irritating.

 

The only way to have the audio files play sequentially rather than simultaneously that I can see is to have the first play when the relevant flag is set to true (helicopter enters zone) and then having a second time-since-flag entry that plays the second audio file after a delay.

 

Is there a more elegant way of doing this?

I’m not sure if I understand the picture correctly but if you tied the two events to same TRIGGER ACTION, then why not use one audio.

Otherwise TIME SINCE FLAG seems alright unless the pro’es could chip in.

I agree, I would simply combine the two audio files with the appropriate amount of spacing between the chopper pilot's coms and the mission command's reply and play the file with the same trigger.

*sigh* why didn't I think of that? Some times I'm officially dumb... :music_whistling:

 

@Vicx Haven't received your PM yet but I'll take a look tomorrow. Cheers all...
