Play Audio for Client

[NineLine]

Is it possible to play audio when an actual person fires, say a Maverick, much like the AI might call out they are firing a Mav?

Only with the use of "slmod" on the server.

 

There is a script where you define:

 

If units "1,2,3,4" release weapon "maverick" then play audio file "RIFLE!".

 

I don't know the details, go check out the slmod thread!

To make flag 101 go true (so that an audio message could be played) whenever someone fires a maverick, then a few secs after start of the mission (assuming blue coalition):

 

if slmod then
slmod.units_firing{ 
	init_units = {"[blue]"},
	flag = 101,
	weapons = {	
		"AGM-65D Maverick",
		"AGM-65H Maverick",
		"AGM-65G Maverick",
		"AGM-65K Maverick"
	}
}
end

 

Additionally, if you want a chat message displayed that identifies the shooter, use this instead:

 

if slmod then
slmod.units_firing{ 
	init_units = {"[blue]"},
	flag = 101,
	weapons = {	
		"AGM-65D Maverick",
		"AGM-65H Maverick",
		"AGM-65G Maverick",
		"AGM-65K Maverick"
	},
	msg = "%s: RIFLE!",
	display_units = "i",
	display_time = 5,
	display_mode = "chat",
	coa = "blue"
}
end

 

If this doesn't work, it could be that the names of the Mavericks have changed. To check that they are still the same names as the ones in the scripts above, fire a Maverick, then look in

C:\Users\<Your Account Name>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\debrief.log.

So this is only for slmod right now?

This worked like a charm, although the sound didnt play, so I will have to look into that, but the text message popped up. Thanks again!

This function only raise the Flag #101 when this action will happen.

You have to set a switched trigger in you mission when 101 comes true and as action soundmessage and flag 101 off.

Is there a way to play a sound from the code example above? Not with a separate trigger, but with something added right into the script?
