A simple question: how do I get a sound to pley?

At the mom. I got a trigger that makes use the mudcommand "page" with a line "Send ("page Mazarin Time = On") - which sends a beep to my character (= Mazarin). However I could use a direct command (like "PlaySound "beep.waw" or whatever). I just don't know howto accieve this.

Any help?

Thank you.

Template:function=PlaySound PlaySound

The documentation for the PlaySound script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.



Template:scripting Scripting tutorial

There is extensive information about scripting in MUSHclient at http://mushclient.com/scripting. This includes screen shots and examples.

I have placed (pasted) the line

"PlaySound (1, "c:\sound\boeing.wav", false, 0, 0)"

as mentioned in the example in among my trigs as mentioned in the example that was referred to. This however gives only a short beep and not the chime-type sound it should. When I replace this line with the command

"Send ("page Mazarin Questtime")"

then I get the correct sound. - I have of course placed a file with the name "boeing.wav" in the directory c:\sound (there is no other file in the directory).

The result is the same independantly of whether I have a full path specified or not.


What might be wrong?

If this is Lua, try putting "check" around the call to see what is going wrong. Also, in Lua backslashes need to be doubled. And if this is send-to-script they have to be doubled again.

It might be easier to use forward slashes. So:


check ( PlaySound (1, "c:/sound/boeing.wav", false, 0, 0) )
