like the squidward sound? all i know of is the PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING and PLAYER_STOPPED_MOVING events

neat orbit like the squidward sound? all i know of is the PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING and PLAYER_...

Exactly the squidward sound

#

How the hell did you know

#

How do I make the aura to scan for this PLAYER_STARTED_MOVINGevent

#

IsPlayerMoving also works?

neat orbit Nov 13, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

lol

#

my approach for a basic thing would be a custom trigger, status, every frame

#

and i believe the time delta is passed to those functions, so check IsPlayerMoving and add the time to a counter if so, and once reaching a threshold, play the alternating squish sounds

oak willow Nov 16, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

is there an already-made example of this?

#

I've been trying to use IsPlayerMoving but I can't seem to figure out how to call a sound from inside the code block - I've also tried using PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING and PLAYER_STOPPED_MOVING but can only muster 1 sound (which refuses to loop) most likely because it's not active for more than the time it takes to trigger

#

dont play the sound with code. use the interface.

oak willow Nov 16, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

@jade yew so here's what I have using the interface:

I just can't make the sound loop while the trigger is active - or at least I'm not sure what active means. I was thinking that Custom Trigger means it's on, and Custom Untrigger means it's off

jade yew Nov 16, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

actions, play sound, loop

oak willow Nov 16, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

it is

#

OH

#

hang on thanks trying it

#

and so to trigger it I have to put the code into the custom code block in actions?

#

mm that's not a thing

jade yew Nov 16, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

no.

#

no code in actions.

#

the only code is returning true on move start in the trigger and true in the untrigger on stoppped moving

#

then you use the normal regular non code options in the actions tab to loop a sound.

oak willow Nov 16, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

❤️ thanks @jade yew you just made my day

oak willow Nov 16, 2023, 6:24 PM

@white abyss idk if you figured it out but I have this working with the squidward squish walk:

You have to give him the file

white abyss Nov 16, 2023, 7:14 PM

#

i havbe my own sound file versoon

#

version

#

but

#

it wont play it idk

#

its just a small .ogg file

Trouble with custom media files? Make sure you've done everything on the list in this link: #pins message

white abyss Nov 16, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Thanks

#

but somehow I cant get a sound 😭

#

my path is Interface\AddOns\WeakAuras\Media\Sounds\walking-sfx-wow.ogg

#

the file is in there

#

idk what else to do

#

@jade yew Sorry to ping

#

just wanted to make sure this is viewed

#

heh

jade yew Nov 16, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

i really dislike pings.

white abyss Nov 16, 2023, 8:26 PM

#

Yea that's what I expected

swift osprey Nov 16, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

you shouldn't put your sound inside of the weakauras folder

#

it says that in the pin

#

how are you trying to add the sound to you aura?

#

it won't appear in the drop down menu

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

I made my folder in the classic folder

#

called it CustomSound

#

sorry for the confusion

#

@white abyss ^

#

E:\World of Warcraft\classic\CustomSound\example.ogg

#

it reads from above interface/addons

#

so all you need then once the folder is in the right place is: CustomSound\example.ogg

#

also to note: I used audacity to cut and modify the sound I wanted - in my case it was squidward squish - I used the sound of both squish types in one audio. I also tweaked the speed and pitch of the sound to go better with my walk type - undead kind of walks in pitter patters so I sped it up, this can all be done in Audacity.

2nd also: If the sound doesnt stop after you're done walking just go into Actions > On Hide > Stop Sound

3rd also: If you added the sound file while the game was open, you'll have to restart the game for it to catch.

#

I'll be working on having the sound stop when mounted, swimming and jumping soon - I'll post it in here as well in case others want it too

swift osprey Nov 17, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

If you added the sound into the weakauras folder and restart the game it may no longer be in the folder

#

if you update weakauras it won't be in the folder

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

so that's why they have you make it outside

swift osprey Nov 17, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

don't put your custom sounds in the weakauras folder

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

if anyone wants specifically the squidward squish

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

oak willow if anyone wants specifically the squidward squish

C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_retail_\Interface\CustomSound

#

Is my path

#

but I put: Interface\CustomSound\walking.ogg

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

don't do that

#

C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_retail_\CustomSound

#

do this

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

im so confused

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

so basically

#

weakauras root folder is the retail folder

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:56 AM

#

right

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:56 AM

#

ok so in the retail folder

#

make the CustomSound folder

#

put your ogg in there

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:56 AM

#

ok did that now

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

then in wekauras you point it by doing the following:
CustomSound/examplesound.ogg

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

ok I see

#

Well let me try exactly that

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

and make sure you restart the game if you did this while the game was running

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

Put the sound and launching now

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

cool

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:58 AM

#

Works ty!

#

What should I put the repeat as

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 10:59 AM

#

I put my loop at 0.8 but it depends, play with that

#

also If the sound doesnt stop after you're done walking just go into Actions > On Hide > Stop Sound

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 10:59 AM

#

It does stop

#

someone made the code for me

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

was that someone me? 😂

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

basically rn it plays 5 times at oncew

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

k so yeah your sound is too fast

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

Yes it definitely seems to be you

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

so increase the delay

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

Whats the delay mean

#

like

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

0.8 -> 1.2

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

what is that number indicating

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

or something

#

it means play the sound again after 0.8 seconds

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

oh

#

Ok Im gonna try your file then

#

mine was like 10 seconds loop of it

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

ah yeah you have to cut it to two steps

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

Yep seems right

#

How did you learn so much about WA

#

😭

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

dont forget to restart the game 👍

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

Restarted yeas

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

idk I learned over a few hours of screwing around with it and Spaten helped

#

I was using triggers before so I also had difficulties lol

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

omg it works hahahahahah

#

This is so sily

jade yew Nov 17, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

Less code makes it easier

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

Im gonna make so many annoying things with this knowledge

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:06 AM

#

like you, I also love this 😂

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:06 AM

#

jade yew Less code makes it easier

hell yes, agreed

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:06 AM

#

Well

#

I set it to only load like this:

#

#

So just when chilling around

oak willow Nov 17, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

yeah but it still happens on mount and swimming right now

#

I'll be changing that soon just havent gotten around to it

white abyss Nov 17, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

That's kinda fine

#

but maybe there's a way to dot that yes

swift osprey Nov 17, 2023, 1:55 PM
