PlaySound if Equals specific value

[BadZombie]

Hi all,

I am trying to get a buff to play a sound when a specific number is output from the CraftingOutputCount value.

For example I have slot machine on my mod that uses buffs to generate odds/wins etc

First it generates a random number:

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="setvalue" value="randomint(1,5)"/>



This cvar ticks constantly in the background...

Whenever a player crafts an item (read places a bet), whichever number this cvar is on at that precise moment determines the odds of winning.

If the number is between 1 and 4, the player loses, if it is on 5, the player wins.

It is basically a 1 in 5 chance of winning.

To limit losses I have included the following bit of code:

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="setvalue" value="0.1"><!-- If random number is less than/equal to 40, set it to 10% of stake: 0.1 -->
<requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="LTE" value="4"/><!-- value must match with multiplication range-->
</triggered_effect>



Which basically says if the number is between 1 and 4 give them 10% of their original stake back.

And then the output is as follows:

<passive_effect name="CraftingOutputCount" operation="perc_set" value="@$machineoutput" tags="SlotOdds1"/>




This works 100%. No issues.

What I would like to also include to enhance the gameplay is for a sound to play if the player wins.

Since CraftingOutputCount is the only way of knowing if the player has won or not I have tried using the following:

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="PlaySound" sound="Slot_Open" play_in_head="true">
<requirement name="CraftingOutputCount" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="Equals" value="5"/>
</triggered_effect>




However, nothing works.

Calling on the cvar continually plays the sound over and over again since it is always ticking in the background.

I can't think of any other way to achieve this?

By calling on the values of CraftingOutputCount is it possible to add a buff with a sound?

Any help or suggestions appreciated

I have isolated the effect groups for losses and wins:

<effect_group>
<passive_effect name="CraftingOutputCount" operation="perc_set" value="@$machineoutput" tags="SlotOdds1">
<requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="LTE" value="4"/>
</passive_effect>
</effect_group>

<effect_group><!-- WINS -->
<passive_effect name="CraftingOutputCount" operation="perc_set" value="@$machineoutput" tags="SlotOdds1">
<requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="Equals" value="5"/>
<!- possible to add a trigger in this effect group anywhere for sound? or to trigger a second buff? -->
</passive_effect>
</effect_group>




Code works 100%, just need to figure out how to implement the sound effect into the WINS group - maybe by triggering a second buff containing the PlaySound action?

I have been tweaking and testing since my original post 4 hours ago with no success haha

I have created a second buff with the PlaySound trigger inside, tested it working on something else, but can't figure out how to link it to the code above...

I have tried a new effect group:

<effect_group>
<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="AddBuff" buff="buffBigWin">
<requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="$machineoutput" operation="Equals" value="5"/>
</triggered_effect>
</effect_group>




But that fires the buff constantly

Does anyone have any suggestions?
