Hey guys, been testing this for past day or so, late nights lol, i have no idea whats going on. the explosions work fine, but still sound will not play, which i seriously dont understand because they are custom sounds, i though it was missing brackets etc i have gone over it quite a few times, maybe some fresh eyes can help me out, heres a snippet of how it looks in my descriptions.ext as well a snip from the RPT showing the execution of the script seemingly running fine.
I tried the AI Heli bombing script, i had trouble getting it to work, i think it could be a conflict between my AI package i dunno i got errors in expression on line 58 when i ran it, just wanting to try and get the sound working i reverted back to the random loc script.

The air raid is working for me now, but the sirens aren't working.
Correction... The sirens ARE playing. But they are playing at the wrong location!
Also, its bombing 2 locations at once!

I have let the server continue running and the same holds true, the sirens will play at one location, but bomb 2 locations at once.

Also sometimes it seems like the sirens dont play for everybody?
Was this the random location script in the first post?
This may be true for me as well because one guy did say he heard them that wasn't in the place that was getting bombed.

Yes, using the random location bit from first post

well i am still goin at it, on and off trying to get these Sirens to work, still for some reason they wont play, but say they are playing in RPT and no errors, i have even commented out the Killing a Hacker, thinking it was destroying the vehicle with the sounds before it could load as mmyum mentioned, still nothing though, no mortar sound, no sirens, only explosions

Hi Sabbath,
I am running Panthera 1.8 & am now in the process of testing this with the custom sounds. I'll let you know

Hey Stig, that would be great lol, i removed the killing a hacker lines as i mentuioned, im not using the Heli bomb script, i reverted back to the random loc script jsut to see about these sounds, im getting some new errors in the RPT now, not sure if any of you guys have seen this one any help would be awesome, lol
as well kinda off topic, but anyone having problems with C130Js not spawning anymore? these things worked fine, now i cant get them to spawn at all, both classnames

The sirens are playing in the correct location, but the server is telling the client to run them, rather than having the server run them. This causes the sirens to play randomly or at different locations. As for 2 or more locations being bombed at once, please go through and check the code again. If you look, Berezino is location 1, with the coords [12043.9,9091.3,1.5], it is bombing the correct location. The first line picked the location. The second line tells you how many bombs will be dropped (29), how long it takes for them to drop (1 minute), the type of bomb (type 1: 105 HE), and the location aka where to sound the siren. The third line checks the center coords of the raid, and the target is than ran and compared to the position of the raid. If the target and the raid position match, then the place will be bombed. The coords match 100% on all of the areas of the code. If your seeing 2 locations bombed at once, than you have a hacker on your server. All I can really say about that.

Just about everything you said there is wrong or you are totally missing the point of my post.
Yes, Berezino is the INTENDED target, and it does get bombed; however the sirens dont play there. The sirens did however play at Gorka for this particular incident, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY was bombed as well.
The repeat 29, tells you how many times the code will continue to run (how many different targets are supposed to be picked over the time the code is running); NOT HOW MANY BOMBS ARE DROPPED.
There is no hacker on the server, because it is being run locked with only myself in it. If I had to guess the code is somehow executing twice per loop, one time picking at random a location for the bombing, and another time picking a place to put the siren and bombs. I'm no coding expert but that looks to me what is happening.
Code:
case 0: {"Electro"};
case 1: {"Berezino"};
case 2: {"NEAF"};
case 3: {"Stary"};
case 4: {"Vybor"};
case 5: {"Gorka"};
};

Ok, so got this is working (Panthera 1.8) without the sounds as I will try to get an ingame sound. So far via editor have only found this sound Sirene_EP1
Anyone know how to call ingame sounds?
Does it loop? How can this be controlled? It goes off on server restart once only.
Help gratefully received

any news on using inbuilt sounds with this scripts? If not, does anyone have any smaller audio files?
@ALL: I'm back from Coachella! Time to get back into this. Some individual responses at the end
Ok So from what I gather...
---> most people are having a hard time getting the sirens to play?
---> there seems to be some bug where a second location is being bombed at the same time?
I will update the random script from the first post (hopefully) by mid afternoon tomorrow, with an attempt to debug the bombing positions further and add some if clauses to prevent double selections, as well as going over the code with a fine tooth comb to determine if it's just something silly like me forgetting to delete a target vehicle which causes more bombs to spawn off of it.
I will update the super alpha unworking heli bombing ai script as soon as I can as I fix the compile issues we're seeing where the variable types are mismatched, and the array problems. Do not use this script until I have updated it.
@tay200k and others who've tried the new script with AI choppers = this was untested and it looks like I messed up the formatting of at least one variable. I'll get to fixing this ASAP.
@FAQdaWorld = Thank you. I'm going to look into this bug, I'm not sure why this would happen but I will have to go over the code in more detail.
@Dlcoates1 = What FAQ said. But what's this about the script telling the client to run them? Care to explain how to do it in another manner? I'd appreciate it!
@Sabbath = did you get it working again?
@stig = glad you got it at least partially working! how are you calling the script? My sounds are between 1-3 mins, so no looping is necessary (it's a pain), but one is only 7 secs long or so.
@matthewjknott = I have it working correctly on my server, so far I have not noticed any areas being bombed simultaneously - however I will be working on an updated script to ensure that never happens, and doing further testing to determine what caused it anyways.

DEBUG RANDOM SCRIPT:
EDIT-----> Seems I can't get the _pos2 = position _espl; to give me a value in the RPT log - first I just called it like I would any of the other _pos, but that was returning just 'array' - just tried using str(_pos2) in the diag_log but that isn't working either, just blank space. More research is needed.
The same script, with added diag logs so we can see what's going on in your RPT logs . I've just added and run it on my server, so there aren't any typos. Getting an array return on the position of the _espl vehicles (explosions) so maybe they're sticking around longer than they should. I've deleted the _espl vehicles in this script later on now. If the locations match, like them do on mine, then the only reason I can think of is things are running client side and so timings are getting borked.
One other thing - I've added a delete vehicle command on the espl in case they were just creating a million explosions that never went away....but this may unnaturally remove the smoking remains from the explosions so it may require tweaking.
This script will add messages to your RPT log for every time the siren is created, and every time a bomb is created. The message should look like this:
AIRRAID: SIREN: [9659,8795.3,1.5] | TARGET: [9659,8795.3,1.5] | SHOULD MATCH APPROX

exitDoes anyone but me have the sirens playing?
Just to clarify to everyone - I have the script working correctly on my server - it bombs only one location so far as I have been able to tell, and the sirens play correctly (and sound awesome!). I am using the random script, from my OP and from the most recent post, both are working for me.
I have tested with 3 people so far, seemed to be working , but I will do more testing with more people ASAP.
So yeah, it is working for me! Perfectly so far! Let's get it working for you!

One last thing before bed - if you're trying to get the sounds to play, does the playSound command work?
playSound "puk";
playSound "puk";
