Nice call on this

Code:

!engfunc(EngFunc_FindEntityByString, -1, "classname", "trigger_hurt"

That way it doesn't do it in surf maps that already have it! You da man!

Edit: Hey VEN I am not sure when it's supposed to work either cause I thought it would play the scream sound when I died by falling but it didn't in dust 2 jumping off of CAT down into CT spawn and dying. When is it supposed to emit the scream sound?

I don't understand under what circumstances you're supposed to be able to hear the screaming. Can you give some specific examples?

Perhaps your brain is screaming for help?

Thus you making a mistake the plugin is actually working.

the plugin is working . . . but it dont screem

Actually, if there is no scream then it's not working. I think what you should have said is that it loads fine.

I sure wish VEN would come back and explain this...

Version 0.2 released!

Changelog:

Code:

- added "regular" fall support
- improved custom sound support
- improved vertigo-style maps detection
- few optimizations

Former version supported only "outside-map-falls".
Like when you jumping into the sea (as_oilrig), abyss (de_prodigy), etc.

Now "regular" style also supported (jump from towers, roofs, etc).
Check first post of this thread for update and more information.

To do

Code:

- supply optional scream sound
  (same as current but w/o "plop" at the end
  or maybe user's file, if will be offered)
- option: separate sound files for both fall styles
- local fall scream sound support

You may upload your custom scream sound files here (+maybe vote for them).

Approved.

the SCREAM_FALL_SPEED define should be a cvar. PCVAR preferably.

not a suggestion, i am telling you.
