WAC question

[*Long*]

i wanna know is the WAC commands for DFBHD and DFX the same?

and the way to make night to day is the opposite of:

cloud 6 6 6
skyfogcolor 4 4 4
fogcolor 8 8 8
fogtype 2

sunfade 100 120

colorfade 0

sun 2 2 2
sky 8 8 8
ground 2 2 2

colorfade 0

endif



how do i make a WAV stop playing if the player is out side an area.

last

how would i make a WAV or command repeat

[Chrispy]

To make a command repeat, don't use the never() command.

E.g, instead of:
if grouparea(1,2) and never() then
blahblah
endif

...make it like:

if grouparea(2,2) then
blahblah
endif

Or, if that doesn't work, remove the "endif" tag, and that might work.

Just play around mate...

[*Long*]

let me geuss too the DFX WAC commands are the same like ssnarea, nver, wav, wavready, ammotgt, ect right

[Chrispy]

Well why don't you go find out?

[HyperCStar]

I really wanna know HOW you do WAV Commands

If you want a .wav to be played, make a command like this:

if ssnarea(10000,1) and never() then
wave("wave.wav", 400)
endif

That means if the player is in AREA 1 then play the wave file at a sound volume of 400.

Look at what I posted above in the quote. It tells you pretty much all the .wac commands to know.
