Triggering sounds when starting a jump and when landing.

[Minareth Irata]

Hello, I'm fiddling with a nice walking sounds attachments that also plays different sounds when entering water, but one thing I can't seem to tackle is how to trigger sounds when starting a jump and once landing either after a jump or landing after a fall.

I tried it with a timer first and detecting the Animations, using an integer to check if it has already happened, but this doesn't work at all as I feared.

I also tried doing it based on taking controls, for the jumping at least. (Hoping to also add sound trigger for when crouching and exiting a crouching position, so eventually both up and down controls are needed, or animations triggers might also work.)

So, the event needs to be direct, not a timer I'd say, but then how to trigger it exclusively when starting a jump and when landing, and not triggering it when flying and pressing up? Anyone able to help me?

You could check if the AGENT_FLYING bit is set in the return value of llGetAgentInfo() when your control event is triggered.

Another option is to go back to using a timer and use this function with AGENT_IN_AIR. Then all you have to do is play the sound when you detect a change in value.

Let's see.   The script can tell  in the control event, when you press Page Up (or E),so that should fire when you start your jump.

You could maybe start a fast timer as well as triggering a sound then, and then use llGetAgentInfo to detect when AGENT_IN_AIR is no longer the case,  or maybe try to trap when llGetAnimation returns "Landing". 

I think llGetAgentInfo is going to be the safest.
