| I have a trigger that I would like to selectively produce a sound:
if StealthMode and not Fighting then
Sound("C:\Program Files (x86)\MUSHclient\sounds\claves.wav")
end
I've used the full path here, but I also tried just "claves.wav" and verified that path as the default to the sounds directory using GetInfo (74).
I get the default activity sound, not the 'claves' sound.
I get this also when I enter '/Sound ("claves.wave")' on the command line (/ is the default lua escape)
If I use the built-in sound mechanism provided in the trigger dialog, it works fine. I get the correct sound.
I've tried lowering the sequence number of the trigger as a workaround suggested on the forum in 2006 and it did not help. If the poster meant I should make the trigger fire after all triggers, then I'm not able to do that as I have many triggers already at seq = 10000.
Any suggestions? | | Top |

| \ is a special character, so you need to either escape it as \\, or use the [[ ]] quotes where \ is just a normal character.
Sound([[C:\Program Files (x86)\MUSHclient\sounds\claves.wav]])

| Thanks, Twisol
When I do that, I now get the correct sound when I enter /Sound([[ .... ]]) from the command line.
I still don't get the correct sound when I make the script call in my trigger | | Top |

| Can you please paste your trigger here?

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

| | It looks correct. Can you double-check that you don't have any other Sound() calls in other triggers that might be matching the line instead of this trigger? |

| I have no other trigger on the pattern - You have recovered balance. I checked my plugin files also for that pattern.
If I just use the sound functionality provided in the dialogue, which would always play the sound on the match, the correct sound is played whenever the trigger matches. | | Top |

| I am a bit nervous of backslashes in file names in send to script. It is easy to get the number wrong. How about:
if StealthMode and not Fighting then
Sound( GetInfo (74) .. "claves.wav" )
end
That gets rid of them. GetInfo (74) is the default sound files directory, which is "sounds" under the MUSHclient.exe folder. |
