from that thread:

"I want to play sound from my mutator. I want it to be heard by every player (not localized sound)"

that is not what i want. i want the sound only be heard by the player not every player. i allready know how to play a sound, what i dont know is the condition to make it only trigger if the player killed an emeny and not if the enemy killed the player. ( the same problem as i had before ).

--
for that hud thing, i tried:

class DeathRatioHUD extends ChallengeHUD;

function PostRender(canvas C)
{
	Super.PostRender(C);

	C.SetPos( 0, Canvas.ClipY/2 );
	C.DrawColor.R = 255;
	C.DrawColor.G = 0;
	C.DrawColor.B = 0;
	C.Font = MyFonts.GetBigFont( C.ClipX );
	C.DrawText( PlayerOwner.PlayerReplicationInfo.GetSpree(), False );
}

which gave me:

Analyzing...
Superclass ChallengeHUD of class DeathRatioHUD not found

History: UMakeCommandlet::Main

Exiting due to error

? thx

To play a sound to just one player try this:

PlayerController( killer ).ClientReliablePlaySound( Sound'MyCustomSound' );

!ATTENTION!  You'll need to sort out the sound yourself, as if you try and use the code as it's posted you'll get an error.

Importing a custom sound can be done in this way:

#exec AUDIO IMPORT FILE="Sounds\Whatever.wav" NAME="MyCustomSound"

Hope that helps.

umm kay. i want to do something slighty different now.
what i want is that if your team scores a frag ( being it a bot from your team or a human player from your team), everyone from that team should hear a sound.

i tried like this:

class TeamGameFragsoundClass extends GameRules;

function ScoreKill(Controller Killer, Controller Killed)
{
     local Controller p;

     if ( !Killer.SameTeamAs(Killed) ) 
     {

            for( p = Level.ControllerList; p != None; p = p.nextController )
            {
	         if( p.IsA( 'PlayerController' ) )
	         {
	          if ( PlayerController(p).sameteamas(PlayerController(Killer)))
                  {
                       PlayerController(p).ClientReliablePlaySound(Sound'scorefrag');
                  }
                 }
            }
      }


     if ( NextGameRules != None )
          NextGameRules.ScoreKill(Killer,Killed);
}

using this and using showlog reveals something like:
"MutTeamGameFragsound accessed 'None' Killer" ?
( being playing with bots when this occours + it works and not display that when i make a frag myself. so maybe the code above is not realy compatible with bots ? )

thx

surely it isn't. what do you cast that poor killer to playercontroller for?
get rid of that and it will work.

hi. right that was unnesscary, but still it dont work. even if i only write:

class TeamGameFragsoundClass extends GameRules;

function ScoreKill(Controller Killer, Controller Killed)
{

     if ( !Killer.SameTeamAs(Killed) ) 
     {
log("someone killed someone else");
     }


     if ( NextGameRules != None )
          NextGameRules.ScoreKill(Killer,Killed);
}

even that raises the error and wont work... :bulb: ??

This code come from one of my projects (modified to your needs):

if( ( killed != killer )
	&& ( killer.PlayerReplicationInfo != None )
	&& ( killed.PlayerReplicationInfo != None )
	&& ( killed.PlayerReplicationInfo.Team != killed.PlayerReplicationInfo.Team )
	&& ( killed != None ) )

Try that.

Err, no, it works for all Controller types; how do you think CTF flags are attached to non-human players?.  Why not spend the rest of the afternoon having a good look round all the standard classes you have on your machine?  You may be surprised by what you find out.

ok. well, it works now.

my first code were indeed working, but the error i made was that in the other .uc file that extends the mutator class, i put a reference to my older Mutator ( eg MutFragSoundClass) instead of MutTeamGameFragsoundClass. now this being fixed it works wonderfull.

thanks to everyone contributing to this thread / problem.
