'Play sound effect when player runs into something' script?

[sinivi 2]

Hello

 

This is my first script request. I read the guidelines, checked to see if there was a script out there already and I couldn't find one (unless I overlooked? )

 

Anyways, you know how in Pokemon when the player runs into something, it makes a kind of a buzz sound effect? I kind of thought it was interesting, so I wanted it for my game!~ (and all the other people who wants to use it like me ) So, basically a script that enables a sound effect to be played when the player runs into something non-passable.....if possible   It's not something that I need immediatley at all o3o Thank you community~♥

Oddly enough, in my scripting tutorials I was going to make exactly this as the first complete script.

If you wanna wait a few days until I get around to that tut, you'll get it.

Though this should only really take 3-5 minutes if someone else is willing.

This works but its not very pretty:

on the "RPG::SE.new("Cancel1", 50, 100).play" line put the sound name, volume, and pitch that you want.

class Game_CharacterBase
  alias old_init_private_members init_private_members
  def init_private_members
    old_init_private_members
    @sound_timer = 0
  end
  
  alias old_update_stop update_stop
  def update_stop
    old_update_stop
    @sound_timer += 1
  end
  
  alias old_passable? passable?
  def passable?(x, y, d)
    
    if (!old_passable?(x,y,d))
      if (@sound_timer > 30)
        @sound_timer = 0
        RPG::SE.new("Cancel1", 50, 100).play
      end
      return false
    end
    return true
  end
end

Sorry for the late reply everyone D: Thank you for responding to my post you guys! @artlis I tested the script and got an error at line 11 where it says @ sound_timer += 1.

@DP3 I'm willing to wait as long as I could :3 this is a very small feature in my game, so it's not a big deal if I wait very long.

I still haven't gotten around to doing the tut for it, but I'm not one to make people wait

@artlis - Allow me to present a few pointers into why that error occured.

Your script inserts collision sound on every event, not just the player (and that's kind of a negative in this case). It works fine upon initialisation for all events, but the player is only initialised upon starting a new game, which is to say that 'Vhirous' was continuing from an old save and the script was working fine until it got up to the player, which had its timer as nil because it never got initialised.

That said, your collision sound should be in the Game_Player class rather than Character_Base, and since your sound_timer is only a temporary variable, you can use Game_Temp to store it, because it will always be initialised that way, whether the user is starting a new game or not

I just tested your correction and followed your instruction, it works ^^ This is exactly what I wanted Thank you DP3 and artlis!

 

 

 

Didn't work

Test it in a new game file, it will work
