Different character death noises

[Rey_JJJ]

It's hard to believe... but I've got a question.
Can I make it so that each different character in my game has a different death/hurt sound effect? Like, can I do that with a simple script command, or is this harder to do?
Also I had another question but I can't remember what it was... :tongue:

I found it easy to believe. (none of us knows everything) :scruff:

This allows custom death noises.

In the database, under system, set "Actor Collapse SE" to "none"
(this is optional, it will work with both sounds)

Paste the following script above main

class Sprite_Battler
  def collapse
    super
    if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
      sound = "Audio\\SE\\"
      sound.concat(@battler.name)
      sound.concat(".mp3")
      if FileTest.exist?(sound)
        Audio.se_play(sound)
      end
    end
  end
end

In line 7, change .mp3 to match the type of sound file you want to use.

In your Audio\SE\ folder, add a custom sound for each actor using the actors name.
(i.e.  Aluxes.ogg  or  Hilda.mp3)

Be Well

All right, awesome! Thanks, dude.
I'll start making death noises now...

wait... just their name? Could I make it so that it's "Name_death"? How would I do that? It's not important, but it's preferable.

Also one last thing. If I have the actor collapse sound on, will it play once the actor death sound is over? If not, how would I set that up?

Try editing line 7 to
sound.concat("_death.mp3")

Of course, I'm no RGSS expert so you might want a scripter to confirm/modify the code.

Not sure about the actor collapse, but I think both sounds would play at the same time.

 

[Rey_JJJ]

Well okay then... I'll test it out.

The collapse method gets called AFTER the default collapse sound plays.
So, they will either play simultaneously, or in the opposite order you would like.
I'll see if I can switch the order. (later. gotta go cook steaks now. :scruff

It looks like the play simultaneously.
I'm reluctant to put any kind of 'wait' command in the script, as it will
probably mess things up.
Your best bet is modifying the sound so it has a short delay at the beginning.

Here's a modified version of the default Actor Collapse sound...

I'm using the sound called 054-Cannon03 at about full tempo (.5 point off), actually. But, thanks for the idea, I'll try that, see if I like it, maybe exclude the sound or replace it...

Is this for VX or XP?

I'm a fool to have forgotten. And bordering on hypocritical. It's an XP production.

Oh. Does anybody have a VX solution?
