I would like to make a plugin which plays a sound while the user is connecting.

For user1 that is connecting should be played the sound number 1
For user2 that is connecting should be played the sound number 2
For user3 that is connecting should be played the sound number 3
For user4 that is connecting should be played the sound number 4

For user5 that is connecting should be played the sound number 1
For user6 that is connecting should be played the sound number 2
and so on. the counter should stop at 4 and then reset back at 1.



All I know how to do it, is

PHP Code:

public plugin_precache() 
{
  precache_sound("misc/Cotan/1.wav")
  precache_sound("misc/Cotan/2.wav")
  precache_sound("misc/Cotan/3.wav")
  precache_sound("misc/Cotan/4.wav")

  return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
} 


and I know that when you play the sound it should be something like this:

PHP Code:

client_cmd(0,"spk misc/Cotan/1")
client_cmd(0,"spk misc/Cotan/2")
client_cmd(0,"spk misc/Cotan/3")
client_cmd(0,"spk misc/Cotan/4") 


But the problem is I don't know all the rest. I appreciate your time for having a look at this.

Search for loading music. It's already been made.

that plugin is only with one soud, not like I want.

No, it's not.

To make it as dynamic and easy as possible to maintain you need to make it a global array first.

new const gSounds[][] = {
    "misc/Cotan/1.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/2.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/3.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/4.wav"
}

Then you need something to keep track of which sound to play, also as global.

new gCount;

Then you precache it.

    for ( new i ; i < sizeof gSounds ; i++ )
        precache_sound(gSounds[i]);

And finally, to play it

client_cmd(id, "spk ^"%s^"", gSounds[gCount++ % sizeof gSounds])

You want the ^" surrounding the %s in case there's a space in your sound filepath.
gCount will return 0 in the first run and then increment after the value has been used.
% is modulo which returns the remainder of a division.
sizeof gSounds will return the number of sounds you have in your array, in this case 4.
So this is the result in a more understandable form:
0 % 4 = 0
1 % 4 = 1
2 % 4 = 2
3 % 4 = 3
4 % 4 = 0
5 % 4 = 1
...

Now all you have to do whenever you want to change the sounds is to edit the array at the top. Everything else will adapt to the number of sounds you have chosen.

If you want to test something like this you could just simulate it using a loop and print it out to console to see if the concept works.

#include <amxmodx>

new gSounds[][] = {
    "misc/Cotan/1.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/2.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/3.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/4.wav"
}

new gCount;

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Test Plugin 1", "1.0", "[ --{-@ ]");

    for ( new i ; i < 10 ; i++ )
        server_print("spk ^"%s^"", gSounds[gCount++ % sizeof gSounds]);
}

spk "misc/Cotan/1.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/2.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/3.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/4.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/1.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/2.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/3.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/4.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/1.wav"
spk "misc/Cotan/2.wav"

Thank you for helping me with this. What if I want the sounds in a text file in configsdir ?

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>


new const gSounds[][] = {
    "misc/Cotan/1.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/2.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/3.wav",
    "misc/Cotan/4.wav"
}

new gCount;

public plugin_precache() 
    {
    for ( new i ; i < sizeof gSounds ; i++ )
    precache_sound(gSounds[i]);
    }

public client_connect(id)
    {        
    client_cmd(id, "spk ^"%s^"", gSounds[gCount++ % sizeof gSounds]);

    }

Wtf? Where are your functions?

edited, sorry

Take a look of some of the plugins in my signature. They all use text files for getting stuff, so you can get an idea on how to do it. Or this - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=294300
