Please, I need help with voices.
Hello, I post today in need of knowledge on how to create a list that allows random talking for say, a game character. For example, in an RTS video game, such as Command and Conquer when you select a unit they would say a random question like
"Yes sir?" or "Yeah, what is it?" or when you give them a command they would say something like "Moving there now." or "Yes sir!" So what I'm asking is how do I create a list for voices or sounds?

Re: Please, I need help with voices.
Sorry but what you are asking is immpossible for scratch. 
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Please, I need help with voices.
You could record the voice-overs yourself, then save them in a sprite and make it play a random one of the possible things it could say when you do that action.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

So you would have to do a list of numbers or strings - that you used as a trigger for voices, possibly using broadcasts to trigger a unit to look to see what they need to say.
The actual voices would be handled by a long list of if's
Complicated (which with scratch can mean slower especially on the web) impossible to do easily, but the result might be reachable (I have never tried it)

Re: Please, I need help with voices.
You can simply use a (pick random [num]) block for that.
<when [whatever happens]>
<play sound[ <pick random( 1 )to( number of soundtracks ]and waits>
Same for "say" blocks.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline
