Sound syncing?

**Jase** · 31st August 2010, 12:46 AM

Hi!
Any extension or efficient method that could allow me to do actions when a playing sound reaches a certain time? Example:

-Sample "Boom.wav" has reached 00:01.48
+Create object "Smoke" at 240,480

Or something? Basic jist is that Is there a way to sync things with sound?

Thank you for all answers

Try something like this:

Code:

-SamplePosition("SampleName") >= 1480 - Create object...

You just need to put the sample's name as the parameter and put the position in ms.

Don't forget to add "Only One Action on Event Loop" so it doesn't keep making smoke forever until the sound ends.

Waitwaitwait...So there's a condition for it? I'm currently not at home and don't have access to MMF2 at all. I never knew this existed?! I assumed I would need an extension for it...

No, it's an expression. You use "Compare Two General values" from the special object, then use that expression.

The "Only One Action on Event Loop" is a condition.

I'll ask this question on this thread since it will prevent pollution...

How would I go about doing Lip Syncing? I tried downloading jLipSync or something and nothing seems to help me. This all points to the fact that I am making a cutscene
