Silent drops?
« on: November 13, 2012, 02:03:54 pm »

               You'll want to add a PlaySound command in the script where the items are being created.

PlaySound("it_genericsmall");


There's a slew of it_* sounds you can pick from.

If you want to hear them, create a sound object.

ADD SOUNDS -> Name Filter: ITEM

it_genericsmall I believe is the normal sound.

You could work the script to check what item type it is when it's created, then play the appropriate sound for that item type - swords, armor, gems, gold.

The only thing is when multiple items are dropped, I'm pretty sure you'll hear the LAST sound of the item that is dropped, not all of them.

FP!
