Neat. Some Sounds may be randomly heard?


I propose you rewrite it to use a keyvalue config, so one can easily set which specific sounds he wants blocked. For example the 'idle' and 'spot' sounds only.

[Silvers]

Yeah I was thinking about that, will try to add.

Randomly heard.. I think because the sounds are in a different folder. For example I have heard the tank cry a few times but no random sounds from any of the others, but apparently there has been.

Nice coding, btw was the tank sad? xD

[IronWarrior]

Would it be possible to add cvars to block sounds for classes? So to block Hunters only for a example?

[Skorpion1976]

Maybe something like this? Dunno if this works, is an idea about detecting each zombie class. g_infected[i] should be the player.

if (i_Infected == 1) {// Infected sounds
        for (new i = 0; i < sizeof(g_Infected); i++) {
            if (StrContains(sample, g_Infected[i], false) > -1) 
            {
                if (GetEntProp(g_Infected[i], Prop_Send, "m_zombieClass") == ZOMBIECLASS_JOCKEY)
               {
                volume = 0.0;
                return Plugin_Changed;
                } 
            }
        }
    }

That wouldn't work, the "i" is from the loop which is only looping through the array list of blocked sounds... I'll do what AtomicStryker said and re-write it with Keyvalues, that way you can create our own list of sounds to block, without having to edit and compile the source code.

[Nataraja]

Use in versus game mode?

[Silvers]

It should work in versus yeah.

I still want to update this with keyvalues or something like that.

[darktemplarr]

is there anyway you could make this so that it does not announce when any cvars are changed with it? especially the disable enable one? because I toggle this on and off quite frequently and it is annoying that all of my players can see it. I want to run my commands discretely because that is how I run my custom game modes server.
