Play Sound Sequence

This script plays multiple sounds in a sequence using a single sound block. No need to use timer blocks. One programmable block and one sound block is enough to play a sequence of sounds.

This is very useful for mods providing many voice lines which need to be combined to make sense. Just create a sequence of these voice lines and play them by a single command.

For example using voice lines from AQD Computer Voice Lines mod you can have combined voice line like "Enemy sighted, turrets engaging, target acquired..."

Of course, you can still use this script to play a single sound, just pass one sound only in an argument instead of a sound sequence.

1. Programmable Block
   
2. Sound Block

1. Configure the soundBlockName variable with the name of your Sound Block.
   
2. Define the duration of one sound sample in soundSampleDurationTicks variable - in ticks. If you are using samples of multiple lengths ticks should correspond to the longest sound sample in your sequence, otherwise sounds may get interrupted by a next sound in a sequence.
   
3. Compile the script.
   
4. Run the script with the argument containing list of sounds in a sequence separated by comma, e.g.: AQD_SB_Arc_005, AQD_SB_Arc_009

In order to configure timing of individual sound samples, use ":" sign behind each sound sample followed by the sample duration in ticks. If no specific sample duration is set for that that individual sample, default soundSampleDurationTicks will be set.

This enables you to create more precise timing when combining multiple voice samples.

For example passing "SoundBlockAlert1:50, AQD_SB_Arc_097:80, AQD_SB_Arc_096, AQD_SB_Arc_095" will result in:
Sound SoundBlockAlert1 playing for 50 ticks
Sound AQD_SB_Arc_097 playing for 80 ticks
Sound AQD_SB_Arc_096 playing for value of soundSampleDurationTicks ticks
Sound AQD_SB_Arc_095 playing for value of soundSampleDurationTicks ticks, but since this is the last sound in a sequence it does not matter
