random sound

[Gurtag]

hey ppl, new here, wanted to ask if there is a way to randomize 2 or more sounds of an attack animation.
for example first time i perform attack plays sond 1 then next time play sound2 or full random if it is posible

thanks a lot for the help man, though now that you mention it i didnt know something like that would require scripts, know nothing about that, just learning the basics things yet, also sorry for my bad english.

sorry for the long delay had not much free time lately, now followed your instructions and it worked like charm, thanks a lot for the imput, btw what vercion of openborstats would you recommend? i use it a lot as it simplifies a lot of tasks, however the latest vercion doesnt display boxes correctly on the below preview of frames, nevertheless i realy like the entity overlay which sadly the vercion i use 0.53 seems to lack of.

Something you should be aware while using that code (I use it btw): those sounds will be loaded only when the script is triggered, instead of being pre-loaded with the entities when they are loaded into the memory.
So, in some cases, you can see a micro loading while you play.

And from that code, I would take off the "/sounds" part, so you can get all the sounds you want from the game folder

void randSound(char s1,char s2,char s3)
{
   int r = rand()%300;
   char sound;
   if (r<=-100)
   {
      sound=s1;
   }else if(r<=100){
      sound=s2;
   }else{
      sound=s3;
   }
   playSound("data/sounds/"+sound);
}
void randSound2(char s1,char s2,char s3,char s4,char s5,char s6)
{
   int      r      =   rand()%300+300;
   char   sound   =   "";

   if (r<100){
      sound=s1;
   }else if(r<200){
      sound=s2;
   }else if(r<300){
      sound=s3;
   }else if(r<400){
      sound=s4;
   }else if(r<500){
      sound=s5;
   }else if(r<600){
      sound=s6;
   }
   playSound("data/"+sound);
}
void playSound(void file)
{
   if(!file||file==""){return;}else{}
   int sfx=loadsample(file);
   playsample(sfx, 0, openborvariant("effectvol"), openborvariant("effectvol"), 100, 0);
}

So it would be
@cmd randSound2 "sounds/doh1.wav" "sounds/hmrpain1.wav" "sounds/hmrpain2.wav" "sounds/hmrpain3.wav" "sounds/hmrpain4.wav" "sounds/hmrscream.wav"

thanks for the advise, it will come handy as i have lots of sound on otter folders, about the script loading could you explain further as it may be related to an issue i am having now, if i go in a new game works fine but if i quit/save and load that save whenever i perform the animation with the script it crashes the game, any idea of what could be the problem? or is just how the script works? also any advise of what i mentioned about the openborstats vercion?

This is a bug that happens only on android (at least, for me) it was already reported. I need to track down WHICH version specifically had started this.

About OpenBORstats, get the most recent one.

i see, then is just a bug, however i am using windows and openbor 3.0.3769.
about openborstats, the latest vercion is the one with the missaligned boxes se below for what i mean.
