Another poor attempt at scripting.

Post subject:  Another poor attempt at scripting.
I'll get right into it:

So I'm trying to have a weapon choose a random firing sound from a list when it's created, and stick with that firing sound until it's destroyed.
Code:
function Create(self)
...

   self.FireSounds = {(CreateAEmitter("Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 1")) , (CreateAEmitter("Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 2")) , etc..};
   local Sound = (self.FireSounds[math.random(1,4)]);
   self.SoundTimer = Timer();

...
end


Is where it should get the sounds from, and

Code:
function Update(self)
...

   -- Fire Sounds:
   
   if self:IsActivated() and self.Magazine then
      if self.SoundTimer:IsPastSimMS(60000/self.ROF) then
         self.SoundTimer:Reset();
         Sound.Pos = self.Pos;
         MovableMan:AddParticle(Sound);
      end
   end

...
end


uses a bit of Akblabla's script to have it add the sound particle every time the weapon fires.

My problem is that when I define 'Sound' as a local variable in Create, the Update function cannot find it. Whenever I define it as 'self.Sound' in either function, the game glitches out, plays the sound once, and crashes shortly after. If I attempt to define 'Sound' in Update, as it's a math.random, I get a different sound every time, and the occasional crash :roll:

Anyone, please ;___;

The problem is you're trying to add the exact same AEmitter every frame, not a different one. Try:
Code:
function Create(self)
...

   self.FireSounds = {"Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 1" , "Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 2", "Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 3", "Dispenser.rte/Fire Sound 4"}; --Define the locations as strings, not particles.
   self.SoundPath = (self.FireSounds[math.random(1,4)]); --Just the one string.
   self.SoundTimer = Timer();

...
end

function Update(self)
...

   -- Fire Sounds:
   
   if self:IsActivated() and self.Magazine then
      if self.SoundTimer:IsPastSimMS(60000/self.ROF) then
         local Sound = CreateAEmitter(self.SoundPath) --NOW it's a local AEmitter.
         self.SoundTimer:Reset();
         Sound.Pos = self.Pos;
         MovableMan:AddParticle(Sound);
      end
   end

...
end
