E2: sound help

[MixZim]

interval(10)

if (!clk() & A) {soundPlay(1,1,"Something")}



I need the interval, and I need the sound NOT to repeat.

-If I remove "!clk()" the sound will repeat constantly if A is true.
-If I use the "!clk()" the sound doesn't play at all

any help with making E2: sounds WITH an interval(10,20,30...) but the sound does NOT repeat?

Try:

if (~A & A) {soundPlay(1,1,"Something")}

It checks wether or not the expression was executed by A changing. It will work as long as A is an input.

But the A isn't an Input, thats the thing

Persist it, and it will also work. (You can't use tilde on nonpersisted vars, and inputs and outputs are automatically persisted)

This is exactly what I am trying to do...

Inputs
Outputs
Persist E:entity Use

interval(10)

E=owner()
Use=E:keyUse()

if (!clk() & Use == 1) {E:soundPlay(1,1,"Whatever")}

if I don't use "!clk()" it will repeat
if I use "!clk()" there is no sound at all

A persisted var can't execute an expression, so the tilde won't work on them.



Try this:

@persist E:entity Use

runOnTick(1)

E=owner()
Use=E:keyUse()

if ($Use>0) {E:soundPlay(1,1,"Whatever")}
Use = Use

Aw dang you're right. What's wrong with me. Confused it with $. Try this:

if (!clk() & Use == 1 & $Use == 1)

EDIT: yeah Matte's is less redundant than mine. Don't need to check Use==1.

You can't use ~ on persistant variables.
~ checks if an input has executed the E2.

Edit:
Holy shit I just got triple ninja'd

[MixZim]

so why does "$" makes any difference?
