E2 sound problem

[Hunter Normandy]

hello everyone, i have been having trouble trying to get my e2 to work.
it makes it so when i die(or my health is zero^_^) it plays the left 4 dead death song

i have tried several different ways to make this work..but so far nothing

e2 v1:
@name l4d sounds
@inputs
@outputs
@persist
@trigger

if (owner():health() == 0) {
owner():soundPlay(0,0,"leftfordeath.wav") soundVolume(1,300)
}

e2 v2:
@name
@inputs
@outputs
@persist
@trigger

O = owner()
HP = owner():health()

if (HP == 0)
{
O:soundPlay(1,0,"leftfordeath.wav") soundVolume(1,300)
}

and last but not least e2 v3:
@name
@inputs
@outputs
@persist
@trigger

O = owner()


if (O:isAlive() == 0) {
O:soundPlay(1,0,"leftfordeath.wav") soundVolume(1,300)
}



if anyone knows the solution to my problem that would be great!

Well 1) I suggest putting your code in code tags.
2) You can't just type the name of the song in, you have to put the song in your garrysmod/garrysmod/sound folder, and then type in the filepath from there. Example: You have a song named "song". It is an mp3. You would put it in garrysmod/garrysmod/sound, then in the expression you would put in, as the filepath, "song.mp3".

Sound volume 100 is the max, and it defaults to that so no need to set it.
You may want to change if(HP==0) to if(HP<=0)

Oh and also, it needs something triggering it. Put an interval(10) in there.

i know ...the sound is called left for death, and it is a .wav and it is also in the garrysmod/garrysmod/sound folder

[mattwd0526]

Ok, I suggest you put interval(10) in there, otherwise it won't run.

[Ehmmett]

but then with the interval, it's going to be playing the song at an interval.
So it'll just make a skipping sound.

First, I believe that the max volume is 1, not 100.
Second, that code should pretty much work, though for HP I would use < 1
and for the alive just do

@persist O:entity Alive
if(first()){O = owner()}
Alive = O:isAlive()
if(changed(Alive) & ! Alive){ sound code here }

if(first()){O = owner()}
Alive = O:isAlive()

But it still won't trigger, the expression won't be running so it won't check changes in alive-ness.

That's correct. However, I don't see the point of having "O" in there as you are only using owner once. You also forgot interval.

Fix:

interval(10)
Alive = owner():isAlive()
if (changed(Alive) & !Alive) {
    owner():soundPlay(1,0,"leftfordeath.wav")
}

It works! thanks Divran because when i use the code you put as fixed ... not only did it play the music when i died ...but it was good volume no matter where i was even if i was far away from the e2 chip. Thanks everyone for you help you all deserve cookies! but does anyone know how to make it so that when i re-spawn or (arent dead anymore) that it stops the music....because if i respawn it is still playing the music?

[Hunter Normandy]

There is one other thing...
i would like to use this sound code again but for a different purpose.
does anyone know how to make it play a certain song/music when the owners health is under a certain point? Like if the owners health is under 15 play this sound but then stop when it becomes 0.

Also, you know how your screen goes a slight red when you die... does anyone know how to make the screen turn a color negative white,like when you become in the "white zone" or about to die in left 4 dead?
