New sound type for climbable nodes like ladders

[Wuzzy]

Okay, here is a very simple suggestion:

I suggest to add a new sound type for nodes, and it shall be called “climb”.
This sound is played when a player climbs up or down (using space bar or shift, for example) a node which is marked as climbable=true. In other words, a ladder (for example).
For nodes which are not climbable, the assignment to the climb variable shall be simply ignored.
Currently there is no sound played at all when climbing a climbable node.

Example:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

node_definition = {
description = "metal ladder",
climbable = true,
sounds = { climb = { name = "metal_ladder_climb", gain = 1 } },
--[[ pretend here are other parts of the node definition which are crucial for the node definition itself, but not important for this suggestion ]]
}

This node shall produce the sound “metal_ladder_climb.ogg” when climbed (upwards or downwards).

Improves the immersion into the game world and makes it more plausible. :D

Another thing is that Minecraft does not have this feature, so it can be added for the sake of originality.

It has ladder climbing sounds since 1.4.

can nodes have multiple sound types, for example with ladders both one for on first attaching to it, and for actually climbing it? or how about randomly selecting from multiple different sounds?

Any sound can have random variations, just name the files like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

sound.1.ogg
sound.2.ogg
…
sound.8.ogg
sound.9.ogg

Very nice idea Wuzzy. :)
