Preload sound of Avatar attachment

[Domitan Redenblack]

I have this script to preload my friend's windup shoulder cow-pet... (don't ask LOL)

 

default
{
    state_entry ( ) {
            llSetText( "Moo & Tick: Script and sounds to\nadd to Mod-perms objects.", <1, 1, 0>, 1.0);
    }


    attach(key attached) {
        if (attached == NULL_KEY) return;

        llSetText( "", <1, 1, 0>, 1.0);
        llPreloadSound("Sound-Cow_Moo_01");  // When attaching...
        llPreloadSound("Sound-Clock_Tick_solid");  // When attaching...
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number) {
        llSetSoundQueueing(TRUE);
        llPlaySound("Sound-Cow_Moo_01", 1.0); // play Sound when touched.
        llPlaySound("Sound-Clock_Tick_solid", 1.0); // play Sound when touched.
    }
}

 but even after a minute from her logging in, you can click on the pet and still miss the first sound "Moo"

Why?

This will preload sounds on the wearer's viewer when the wearer attach it, not necessarily on other viewers.
Other viewers have to be 'in sight' when the cow is attached to benefit.

(this is how it is expected to work:smileyhappy:)

From your description only the last sound is preloaded
do I understand that right?

try setting sound queing in the attach event, or state entry.

if that fails try playing the sounds at zero volume on attach instead of using preload.

I've had bad luck with prefetch as well.  What I wound up doing, when needed, was to trigger the sound on a 20 second timer at 0.01 volume.  ()

Two things are happening.  1: Prefetch probably doesn't work.  I'm not sure, but, maybe.  and 2: Cache gets frequently garbage collected.  Go without using a sound/texture/animation for long and it'll have to re-download it. (>_<)

So, play quietly and often has been my personal solution. ()y

Ah yes, thanks. Of course.

 

How about play n seconds at volume 0.01 then stop? Is that possible? Good idea?
