I noticed in CoD and MoH:AA, that the weapons use three different sounds to imitate different discharges from bullets.

I've been wondering, in Day of Defeat, is there any possible way of getting this to work? Say, I want my Karbiner to use three similiar sounds, and have them randomized, or get the game to call them up at the times I fire...is it possible?

EDIT: Its also in the sounds forum. This was just to see if I could'nt catch up a wide variety of ideas.

this i would love! but, i doubt if this is possible on the hl engine
:( maybe it is though, then again no one has ever done this that i know of.

Not unless the team codes it into DoD. Its not hard, maybe 4 lines of code plus the extra sounds.

Almost every new game have that... i was hoping to get something like that ingame for a very long time now but like jed said it's all starts and ends with the dev team


:(

Well the odd thing is theres 2 or 3 ways of doing it really.

The easiest way is to pick a random number between 1 and 4 and depending on what you get, playe a different sound file. Failing that, use one sound file but tweak the pitch randomly slightly.

The smoke grenade plugin I write does something similar in that when a grenade bounces off the ground its random noise, not always the same one.

you could use the distant sounds models smd and just put that into the v_model's smd and it might work.
