Hello, is there a way to enable a trigger by a distance driven trigger? Take this example:Triggers ( 5 Initial_Trigger (DisableTrigger (4)) Initial_Trigger (DisableTrigger (5)) Dist_Travelled_Trigger ( Dist_Min_Max ( 50 60 ) Volume_Min_Max ( 1.0 1.0 ) EnableTrigger ( 4 ) EnableTrigger ( 5 ) PlayOneShot ( 1 File ( "oneaxle1.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod (RandomSelection)) ) Dist_Travelled_Trigger ( Dist_Min_Max ( 20 30 ) Volume_Min_Max ( 1.0 1.0 ) PlayOneShot ( 1 File ( "oneaxle2.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod (RandomSelection)) ) Dist_Travelled_Trigger ( Dist_Min_Max ( 38 45 ) Volume_Min_Max ( 1.0 1.0 ) DisableTrigger ( 4 ) DisableTrigger ( 5 ) ))I would like that the file of trigger 4 is always played after 20 meters of the play of the file of trigger 3, but it seems that the EnableTrigger command within trigger 3 do not work.Any suggestion?Carlo
I have never managed to get a Dist_Travelled (or Random for that) to do anything other than trigger the playing of a .wav file.To achieve what you discribe at the end though try something like the following.Dist_Travelled_Trigger ( Dist_Min_Max ( 20 20 ) Volume_Min_Max ( 1.0 1.0 ) PlayOneShot ( 4 File ( "silence.wav" -1 ) File ( "silence.wav" -1 ) File ( "oneaxle1.wav" -1 ) File ( "oneaxle2.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod (SequentialSelection)) )where "silence.wav" is a very short (I use only 0.1sec) length of silence.This will mean that after 60m travel "oneaxle1.wav" will play, after 80m travel "oneaxle2.wav" will play, then after 140m "oneaxle1.wav" will play again and after 160m travel "oneaxle2.wav" will play again, and so on.Some points to consider though. If such a trigger is used for each of a consist of many wagons the sound from each wagon will syncronise with the others. I've never managed to find a way of de-sync'ing (within a single sms). Also if the distance travelled (in my example 20m) is travelled in a time shorter than the time length of the "oneaxle" .wav files then the sounds start to back-up.
Stuart, I was sure it were you that would answer my question. Your suggestion is what I waited for. My objective is to have flange bump sound of wagons be nearer one each other when train runs faster, without increasing frequency of sound. I will try your suggestion and report about the result. Thank You!Carlo
Hello Stuart, it works (I used a 30 ms length of silence - interaxle time distance on axles in same bogie at high speed). There is only a limit of 16 .wav for every trigger, but this is not too bad. Thanks againCarlo
