Sorry to bother.....

I just wrote a script that will play one simple sound enbeded in an object...

I'm sure there's an obvious reasons why this script won't play the specified sound on touch.....just not obvious to me...lol

I do have some experience with scripting languages - just not LSL....

I notice it doesn't even give the "touch" option in the menu....



CODE


float vol = 0.5;

key sound = "out_element.wav";



default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llPlaySound(sound, vol);
    }
}



Any help appreciated...

I think that the sound name is just a string. Also, it must be exactly the same as the sound in the object, which if I recall, doesn't normally have .wav

So instead of your key sound line it would be

CODE

string sound = "out_element";



You would use key if you were using the UUID I believe, but not just the name.

Try that out ;)

Thanks Okiphia but alas,

that didn't work either......:(

I'm thinking my biggest clue should be the fact that 'touch' doesn't even show up in the menu......

I'm just too new to this LSL.....

Are you in a place that doesn't allow scripts to run? Is it saying the hello avatar bit?

a simple sound playing script that works for me is:

CODE

string soundname = "lionking";

default
{
       state_entry()
        {
            llSay(0, "Working");
         }
        touch_start(integer number)
        {
           llPlaySound(soundname, 0.5);
           llOwnerSay("Debug:: Working");
         }
}

I'm in a sandbox where scripting is allowed.....

I'll see if I can see why the last script you posted works and mine doesn't.

Thank You!

This is strange.....

I've modified your script only slightly:

Changed the name of the sound file
and left out this line: llOwnerSay("Debug:: Working";);


So I have:

CODE


string soundname = "out_element";

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Working");
}
touch_start(integer number)
{
llPlaySound(soundname, 0.5);

}
}




I can't see why that wouldn't work.....

Well just because scripting is allowed in a region, doesn't mean that they could have turned it off temporarily.....
I'll test it elsewhere....

One thing that happens to me is that the script sometimes gets set to not running. Make sure the check box in the bottom left of the script edit window is checked off so that the script is running.

I know it's obvious, but has made me pull my hair out sometimes.

Sparkly,

Thank You!!!!

That's why the ownersay and say were in there ;)

If it didn't say 'working' immediately after the script starts, it wasn't running or wasnt allowed to run. If when clicked it didn't ownersay the debug message, the touch event wasn't firing.
Generally a good idea to leave both of these in until you know for sure if its even working.

interesting factoid:
scripts set to not running will pick up where they left off unless recompiled or reset (which is why you need to reset script that calls llgetowner in the state entry on new onwers)
