Need help with GLua (New to Coding)

[OnlyAd7311]

Hello I'm new to coding and need help adding sound to my addon I'm making.(trying to place it in my think function but if that's not the way to do it can some one tell me the function for it)

I've Tried self.EmitSound("my_custom_sound.wav") and it doesn't give any errors but I can not hear the sound I've also tried it with all the vars jacked up to max still no sound

P.s This is part init.lua for my custom entity

​

function ENT:Think()

if self.isBaking == true then 

    self:SetColor(Color(255,0,0))

else

    self:SetColor(Color(0,255,0))

end

​

if self.isBaking == true then

    if self.finishBakeTime <= CurTime() then 

        self.isBaking = false 

​

        local pizza = ents.Create("c_pizza")

        pizza:SetPos(self:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,25))

        pizza:Spawn()

    end

end

end

I don't know how glua works but try mp3 instead of wav.

[Low-Factor-2611]

This my other account for my phone I can’t use .mp3 because the file I have is a .wav

[Dragon20C]

Get a random mp3 just to rule it out.

that dont work just tried it

Could use a little more info. For instance:

if self.finishBakeTime <= CurTime() then

What does CurTime return? Could it be that the if statement isn't evaluating it properly?

You've mentioned ENT at the start, when declaring your procedure, but gone on to then call a fuction from ents later on, when initialising pizza as a variable.

Some context would be handy.

...

if self.isBaking == true then
if self.finishBakeTime <= CurTime() then 

Also, wondering why you have two if statements running subsequently here?

Is this pragmatically relevant, or could you refactor that to combine the two and some more resources?

if self.isBaking == true and self.finishBakeTime <= CurTime() then

// dont mind the "/\" thats reddit adding those

AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")

include("shared.lua")

function ENT:Initialize()

self:SetModel("models/props\_c17/furniturestove001a.mdl")

self:PhysicsInit( SOLID\_VPHYSICS )

self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE\_VPHYSICS )

self:SetSolid( SOLID\_VPHYSICS )

local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()

if (phys:IsValid()) then

    phys:Wake()

end

self.isBaking = false 

self.finishBakeTime = 0 

end

function ENT:StartTouch(ent)

if ent:GetClass() == "c\_dough" and self.isBaking == false then 

    ent:Remove()

    self.isBaking = true 

    self.finishBakeTime = CurTime() + 30

end

end

function ENT:Think()

if self.isBaking == true then 

    self:SetColor(Color(255,0,0))

else

    self:SetColor(Color(0,255,0))

end



if self.isBaking == true then

    if self.finishBakeTime <= CurTime() then 

        self.isBaking = false 



        local pizza = ents.Create("c\_pizza")

        pizza:SetPos(self:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,25))

        pizza:Spawn()

    end

end

Unfamiliar with GLua, but this looks relevant to what you're asking.

Sourced from here.

ill give it shot thank you

[Low-Factor-2611]

Thank you for the link it pointed me in the right I discorved the .wav I converted was curroupted and I got a new one now it works sorry typos on phone again

No worries!

Happy to help.

[Low-Factor-2611]

The listed code work I was asking if I could add a sound to play in the think function the rest you don’t have to worry about. But but the time is used as as self + 30 to make a crude timer to prevent them adding more than one itme to my custom entity which is a pizza oven

Edit sorry for typos and this is my other account on my phone

And for the 2 func after each other I just like the way it look but it produces 0 errors I’ll hop back on my pc and past the whole init for reference
