Remove engine idle sound from car?

[Teralink]

Hi!

I want the car to make sounds while driving only. At current state the car starts to make sounds directly on entering. It's easy to remove the 'engine start' sound. But I can't get rid of this engine idle sound.

I tried it with

Code: Select all

sound_minimum_speed = 0,

so the sound stops when the engine stops. But it doesn't do anything.

Is there some command that would let me set the engine sound volume to zero during stops? I appreciate every tip!

Silly hybrid electric vehicles wanting to turn their engines off when not moving!

Unfortunately I can't think of a way to do this

[Teralink]

Thanks for your reply! That's exactly what I had in mind. An engine idle sound doesn't really fit to an electric car..

I feared that there is no way to do that.

Maybe you can reference to an empty soumd file?

Maybe you can reference to an empty soumd file?

The easyst way is to detect if the Car is driving, when it is than the sound volume = 0.9 or so and if not than 0.001 or 0.0

That would mute the engine all the time, I think.

Thanks for that idea! I found out how to get the car speed, but how do I access the engine volume during playtime?

I tried that code

Code: Select all

function electricSound()
		for __, player in pairs(game.players) do
			local vehicle = player.vehicle
			if player.connected and vehicle and vehicle.name == "vwtransporterelectric" then
				if vehicle.speed == 0 then
					vehicle.working_sound.sound.volume = 0
				else
					vehicle.working_sound.sound.volume = 0.5
				end
			end
		end
end

but on entering the vehicle, it tells me 'LuaEntity doesn't contain key 'working_sound'.

Do you know how to do that?

Than make it: 0.001 or so

That makes no difference, sadly. I think the problem isn't the value - it's the key 'working_sound' itself that doesn't exist (at this place). I know this key from the entity definition only. It seems not to be accessible during playtime..
