Need help identifying sound event.

Soul_Rider · March 2014

I have implemented a switch from player to spectator mode and back again. However, when I go into spectator mode, I get at musical event playing. I can't work out where it is in the code, and I recognise it from a couple of events in game, just after respawning as an alien for example, but if anyone can let me know what event I am triggering, that would be most helpful.

Here is a video of the issue:

2) Load a map
3) Type kill in console
4) Be ded and listen.

Player_Client.lua line 3841:


function Player:UpdateDeadSound()

    if self:GetIsLocalPlayer() then
    
        // If we're dead and not playing montage, play deathly sound montage
        if (self:GetTeamNumber() ~= kSpectatorIndex) and not self:GetIsAlive() and not gPlayingDeadMontage then
        
            StartSoundEffect(kDeadSound)
            gPlayingDeadMontage = true
            
        // If we're alive and playing montage, stop it
        elseif self:GetIsAlive() and gPlayingDeadMontage then
        
            Shared.StopSound(nil, kDeadSound)
            gPlayingDeadMontage = nil

        end
        
    end
    
end

I'm guessing that UpdateDeadSound is being called on the player just before they're switched to spectator, starting the sound.
Assuming self:GetIsAlive() returns false for spectators, then the sound wouldn't stop.

Change the last condition to:

(self:GetIsAlive() or self:GetTeamNumber() == kSpectatorIndex) and gPlayingDeadMontage

Thanks, sorry, I forgot to reply to say I had fixed the issue, I got sidetracked by getting the GorgeCraft release out yesterday

Really appreciate the help guys. I was looking for respawn and other sounds, not dead sound, lol.
