Sound continuity

[Havoc25]

How to you make radio call continuous? Such if I want an AI to call out "Enfield 1-1 passing waypoint 1" when he pass a trigger. I see where the sound files are, but they are 1 word. How do you make them run together as a sentence?

ATME can help you... but you have to know lua language

 

Hi,

 

if that example, using F10 then F4 helps you, ask me for more informations about ATME

But you have to include your own sound files in a mission.

Thanks a bunch! Not good at all with LUA. LOL. Went through manual, for people like me with no experience, its like trying to read Chinese for the first time. Will have to try to learn. Will definitely take a while though.

Create a small trigger zone right at the waypoint. Then--and the details might depend on if it needs to repeat, or can be a single occurrence--create a trigger:

 

TYPE:

1 ONCE

 

CONDITIONS:

UNIT INSIDE ZONE

Then the unit's name (pilot's name)

Then whatever you named the zone.

 

ACTIONS:

SOUND TO GROUP

The group name for that particular pilot

Click 'OPEN' and browse to whatever audio file you're looking to play.

 

This will play a sound file to that particular pilot group ONE time, when they enter the zone. You can get trickier with flags etc. later and have it be a re-occurring trigger.

 

But Doodenkoff, what sound file should I use? Make your own. Turns out, it's pretty easy with a piece of software like Audacity (it's free). Record yourself or have someone with a good voice do it, and export the resulting clip. Audacity by default exports as an .ogg file which happens to be what DCS likes.
