Actor Damage Sounds- Further assistance needed.

[UkyoIzimaki]

Ahoy there, Im not too sure if this belongs in this part or the general support, but I'll start it here..

I want my characters to make a certain sound when attacked, like a sort of "ow" sound when they get hit [I can do the sounds myself anyway] and I just dont know how to make it that when a certain actor gets hit it plays a different sound.. [hard to understand? Ill try again]

So lets say this is what Happens
Tea gets hit by Goblin, then a SE is played when the goblin hits then the damage appears.

Now I could just set the attack function to play a normal sound, but Id rather it change for each of my 4 characters, Tea, Tix, Tor and Tam so that each of them has their own damage voice.

Can someone help me out in figuring out how to do this.

ON another note, I have minimal scripting skill... and I can't seem to locate a script for this.

bump, I know its been a while, but I would like any form of answer [New project, y'see ^^]

ALSO! Is this in the right idea?

Try this...    paste in a new script above 'main'

You'll need a sound effect file in the Audio\SE folder with the name: <actor_name>.ogg

class Scene_Battle
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update (main phase step 5 : damage display)
  # BREW - Customized to play an actor specific 'Hit' sound
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_phase4_step5
    # Hide help window
    @help_window.visible = false
    # Refresh status window
    @status_window.refresh
    # Display damage
    for target in @target_battlers
      if target.damage != nil
        target.damage_pop = true
        # if actor, look for custom 'ouch' sound
        if target.damage != "Miss" and target.damage > 0
          if target.is_a?(Game_Actor)
            # check for custom sound effect
            filename = "Audio\\SE\\" + target.name + ".ogg"
            if FileTest.exist?(filename)
              Audio.se_play(filename)
            else
              print "File: " + filename + " not found."
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
    # Shift to step 6
    @phase4_step = 6
  end
end

Be Well

uuh, an issue with this script, the actors say OW when they are healed, any way to fix that?

 

[Brewmeister]

Try changing...

#        if target.damage != "Miss"
        if target.damage != "Miss" AND target.damage > 0

Since the 'heal' damage will be negative

 

[UkyoIzimaki]

Uhhh, what exactly do I change in the Script, do I overwrite If target.damage != "miss" or do I put it under -.-;

 

[Brewmeister]

replace it with "if target.damage != "Miss" AND target.damage > 0",
or just add the "AND target.damage > 0"  on the end.

I just showed the old statement commented for clarity. I usually do this in scripts I modify so I can find the
modifications easily.

The "AND target.damage > 0" part will only allow the SE if the damage is positive. (negative damage = healing).
We have to leave the 'if target.damage != "Miss"', since "Miss" is > 0.

Be Well

It doesn't seem to be working, I did exactly as you asked.
