Play sound no associated to player location

[American2050]

I want to know if is it possible to play a sound, and keep it playing even if the player moves from the current location.

 

Or in my case, when a player dies, if he click Respawn, the sound "stops playing" well, it actually still playing at the location where he died.

 

world.playSound(null, pos, ModSounds.PLAYER_DEAD, SoundCategory.MASTER, 1.0F, 1.0F);

 

I thought that using category Master was going to fix that, but it does not, I guess I have to trigger the sound on a different way?

Not sure which version you are using, but in 1.8 and earlier there was a method like the following:

worldObj.playSoundEffect(x, y, z, sound_name, volume, pitch);

If you call that on the server, it will notify and play the sound for all nearby client players. If one player dies, the others will still be able to hear the sound for as long as it lasts, and the sound should fade if they walk away.

 

If that doesn't work for you, you can try playing the sound as a record instead - remember to change the sound category to 'record' in your sounds.json file before you do so.

I think the problem is that the sound played is positioned on the method.

So you should manually create your own ISound, and play sound with Minecraft SoundHandler.

Thanks both, gonna try.

 

BTW I'm in 1.10 forgot to mention that.

 

coolAlias I havent tested in Multiplayer yet, I do believe the way I'm creating the sound plays only on the client, and other players wont hear it, but I can't confirm that yet.

Are you trying to play the sound at a specific location, or continue playing it for a player no matter where that player may go?

Yes the 2nd, I'm trying to make the sound still playing, no matter where the player is, like when he dies for example, and he respawn, he should still be hearing the sound.

 

Or even walking, when the sound gets triggered the way I'm calling it now it plays the sound at that position and stays there, I need it to "go" with the player.

 

Thanks, sorry on the late response to this I got busy with other stuff.

Look at how the Minecraft plays it's sound.

 

Do you mean the Minecart?

Yes the 2nd...

Then it seems that you want to use a lower-level client-side sound method and avoid "positioned sound". Just feed a sound into the sound engine.

 

Rather than looking at the minecart, which plays a continuous moving sound (position updated as minecart moves), you want something like the background music or GUI feedback sounds that are a purely local experience not heard by other players.

Thanks, not sure where I will find that, but gonna look around on the Vanilla code.

Go find MovingPositionedSound and then go find it's super class.  Which is unsurprisingly called...PositionedSound.

And then keep going so you can escape from being "positioned". Call up all of the nearby vanilla classes to see where to inject a server-side sound to play regardless of where the player is.

 

Now, if you want other nearby players to hear this sound as if it's coming from the triggering player, then you have the case much like the minecart (where the server follows an entity and updates a sound's position for all to hear).
