Detailed Description

QUAKED ambient_generic (0.3 0.1 0.6) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) AS_ARADIUS AS_SRADIUS AS_MRADIUS AS_LRADIUS AS_SILENT AS_NOTTOGGLED

OVERVIEW

Plays a sound sample of whatever format the engine is configured to support.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "target" : Target when triggered.
• "killtarget" : Target to kill when triggered.
• "message" : Sound file to play, or sentences.txt entry if prefixed with a '!'
• "volume" : Playback volume from 0.0 to 1.0 (default)
• "pitch" : Playback pitch, default is 100.

SPAWNFLAGS

• AS_ARADIUS (1) : Plays the sound everywhere. Heard by everyone.
• AS_SRADIUS (2) : Small playback radius.
• AS_MRADIUS (4) : Medium playback radius.
• AS_LRADIUS (8) : Large playback radius.
• AS_SILENT (16) : Start silent, trigger to make it play!
• AS_NOTTOGGLED (32) : Don't toggle playback. When triggered, only play the sample once.

NOTES

If you want it to loop, you have to give the file itself a loop flag.

TRIVIA

This entity was introduced in Half-Life (1998).

Member Function Documentation

DebugDraw()

void ambient_generic::DebugDraw ( void  )

virtual

Reimplemented from NSNavAI.

EvaluateEntity()

void ambient_generic::EvaluateEntity ( void  )

virtual

Run each tic after physics are run to determine if we need to send updates over the network.

Reimplemented from NSMonster.

Input()

void ambient_generic::Input ( entity  eAct, string  strInput, string  strData  )

virtual

Called when we are being prompted by another object/function with an input message.

Reimplemented from NSMonster.

OnRemoveEntity()

void ambient_generic::OnRemoveEntity ( void  )

virtual

Handles what happens before the entity gets removed from the client game.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Respawn()

void ambient_generic::Respawn ( void  )

virtual

Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Restore()

void ambient_generic::Restore ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

Similar to ::SpawnKey but for save-game fields.

Whatever you write into file handles within your ::Save() method needs to be read back in here.

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Save()

void ambient_generic::Save ( float  handle )

virtual

Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.

Within you want to use the ::SaveFloat() etc. methods to write the internal member attributes to the specified file handle.

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

SendEntity()

float ambient_generic::SendEntity ( entity  , float    )

virtual

Called by the engine whenever we need to send a client an update about this entity.

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Spawned()

void ambient_generic::Spawned ( void  )

virtual

Called when the entity is fulled initialized.

Any spawn key/value info pairs have already been dealt with. So now we can make full decisions on the entity. Always make sure to call super::Spawned(); inside your method when overriding.

Reimplemented from NSSquadMonster.

SpawnKey()

void ambient_generic::SpawnKey ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.

You can easily convert the strValue parameter using the ReadFloat etc. methods that are part of NSIO.

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

UseLoop()

void ambient_generic::UseLoop ( entity  act, triggermode_t  state  )

virtual

UseNormal()

void ambient_generic::UseNormal ( entity  act, triggermode_t  state  )

virtual
