engine acceleration

[Roofy]

Hi guys,
I am working on a 3d racing game where I have 2 of my cars ready to export.
While I am working on exporting the cars and the scenery, I am wondering how do
you make an engine acceleration sound when the user steps on the gas pedal and
then deaccelerate when the user lets go of the gas pedal? Is this through
lingo, or is it a loop sound or both?

Hi,

Pick a sound, import it in director, an play it when the user press a key, use
the sound (channel) to play, pause or stops the sound (fade in and fade out
supported)

_sound.channel(x).play(member) --up to 8 channels.

There is no way to store sounds in animations in a w3d file (i guess you are
asking that too).

Hi,

You can use the #rateShift property of soundChannel.

-- code is something like this:

pGear = 1 -- this is the variable for current gear, change it from 1 to 5
for example
pNote = 2 -- some value between 0 to 11 , use this value between gears

sound(1).play([#member: member("engine_gear"&pGear ),#loopCount:0,
#rateShift:pNote ])


you can use this pNote variable between gears and you need different sounds
for all gears and all gear passing.


You can see this kind of sound controls in my new game HANGAR3. You must use
some vechiles to hear it :)
