My Mood:  |  random sound timer script needs "doctor"... Hi again my fav smart scripting people....  I am trying to write a script which will play my sound-- the whole sound-- at random times (every 5 to 30 seconds). It would be even better if it only played the sound when someone was within 10 meters of the object (without touch or collision)- but I have no idea if that sort of thing even exists. Here's my script. Anyone know why it only plays part of the sound sometimes and why it doesn't take random breaks? (The silence always lasts 2.5 seconds- that's not random.) Keep in mind please that I honestly don't know anything about scripting, but I have been trying very hard to learn by surfing here and the wiki. Code: float time = 15;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
}
timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llPlaySound("MY-SOUND-UUID-HERE",0.5);
llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(time));
}
}

Business: jeaniesing's things | Do you know how long the sound is? I believe a prim can only play one sound at a time, so maybe your randomized time is shorter than the sound itself and the 2.5 seconds is silent time at the end of the file... try this? Code: float time = 15.0;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(10.0);
}
timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llPlaySound("MY-SOUND-UUID-HERE",0.5);
llSetTimerEvent(10.0+llFrand(time)); //minimum of ten seconds, max of 25... should allow the sound to stop and silence to happen in between
}
}

*translate: the sensor that checks for avatars will likely create more script lag than a sound playing on a timer that needs to be running, to some degree, anyway (llSensorRepeat being its own timer of sorts) | |
