Can the player have barks when he kills a npc?

[RedDynasty]

I thinking about this today and i remembered there was a game that ran the unreal engine called postal 2, that if u kill someone, the player will randomize whether he will say something or not.
Moslty it was on weapon specific barks.
If anyone has this game, please send me a uc of the player class, otherwise i will try to find it somewhere.
Or we could just stick with normal dx coding, i dunno.

I think you can create a script like that.

I am trying to implement something like this too but been busy lately. I was going with the easy route of just "emitting" a sound effect like you do for pain. Search in dxplayer for "Killer", that's how it links with MPGame.

I think you can find t in the scripted pawn class.. should be havin doing something with the AI.

Well, Scripted Pawns call sound functions in particular circumstances e.g

Code: Select all

BeginAttack:
   EnemyReadiness = 1.0;
   ReactionLevel  = 1.0;
   if (PlayerAgitationTimer > 0)
      PlayAllianceHostileSound();

The sound function being called is:

Code: Select all

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// PlayAllianceHostileSound()
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

function PlayAllianceHostileSound()
{
   local DeusExPlayer dxPlayer;

   dxPlayer = DeusExPlayer(GetPlayerPawn());
   if ((dxPlayer != None) && (Enemy == dxPlayer))
      dxPlayer.StartAIBarkConversation(self, BM_AllianceHostile);
}

This calls ANOTHER function back in DeusExPlayer which then makes use of an enum in bark manager to play a conversation with the appropriate name e.g Paul_BarkAllianceHostile. If you can make the killer have a function like this in a custom player class (or mutator maybe), you can call it during kills.

Hope that somehow helped. Only way I learned dx coding was to read A LOT of it!

Hmm....

CreateKillerProfile in dxplayer is what you are looking for. The killer is labelled pKiller. This function is called when someone is killed. All you'd have to do is something like this in your custom player class:

Code: Select all

var() Sound killSound1;
var() Sound killSound2;

//
// CreateKillerProfile
//
function CreateKillerProfile( Pawn killer, int damage, name damageType, String bodyPart )
{
Super.CreateKillerProfile();

pKiller.PlayKilledSound()

}

function PlayKilledSound()
{
local float soundRand;

soundRand = FRand();

if(soundRand < 0.33)
 PlaySound(killSound1, SLOT_NONE, 0.5+FRand()*0.25, , 256, 0.95+FRand()*0.1);

else
{
 PlaySound(killSound2, SLOT_NONE, 0.5+FRand()*0.25, , 256, 0.95+FRand()*0.1);
}

}

Well arn't you the one wanting to use this? lol

[SimonDenton]

Just trying to help So far we can try out using the sound method. Let me know how it goes. I have trial exams this week so I'll be busy. Good luck!
