HOW DO YOU USE SOUNDS IN DECORATE (i.e.: seesound, or A_PlaySound, etc.)?!?!

I loaded a sound into the wad and called it EVILLAFF, now how do I make it play?!

Then add the flag AttackSound "Whatever your sound's name is. IE Evil/Laugh" with the "s.

not quite...

add an entry for the sound in SNDINFO, in the format

<category>/<sound> <Sound lump name>

you can make <category> and <sound> anything you want, although you should probably pick something that makes sense so you can remember it.

A good choice would be to do

In your SNDINFO lump...

Code: [Select]

funnyimp/laughsound EVILLAFF

then, in decorate, just use

Code: [Select]

A_Playsound(funnyimp/laughsound, ... ... ...)

set it to the attacksound to have the sound play when the monster attacks, to the see sound plays when the monster enters the see state, etc....

yeah, i got it actually. On this one, I managed to guess.

I managed to do it that way before, so...

Your way would have worked, I just wanted to go into more detail on what you can and cannot do in the SNDINFO lump
