Can I use the Camera Modes in a LUA statement ?

Hi,
I am trying to make an SFX sound work ONLY INSIDE the vehicle. Is there someone who knows anything
more about that ? Currently I have surpassed a long list of attempts of which none of them got it working.
There's a few things I should explain about those attempts :

1 - I have succeeded in using my sound as soundscape as well as SFXsource. They both sound harder
outside of the vehicle than inside.
2 - The soundscape version is NOT responding smooth to the actions of my code as the SFXsource IS.
3 - I cannot find a single option ,in both cases, to make the sound dependent of one or more camera modes.
4 - The soundscape sounds that are used for the signal lights, vehicle lights and handbrake are configured
in copy protected files, just as the fmod engine sounds. At least, that's how it looks to me.
5 - So far I have looked into a few fairly sophisticated mods and I found LUA code that implies the functioning
of statements consisting of certain variables connected to the camera files, like cameraMode = "driver" and
core_camera and core_camera.isInside (or something) to name a few I can remember. However although
those 'arguments' are accepted when running them they do not function or prevent the sound from
sounding at all. Also the mods wherein I found code related to camera modes also don't deliver the
desired effect as far as I checked. Only Animated Wipers Mod seemed to do a trick on the sound of
the wipers sounding harder inside and softer the further you move away. That would be a perfect solution
for my sound. But I think in Animated Wipers Mod other files/scripts are created to make that LUA code
being accepted. I'm not sure about that.

 

It's working ! I found the code thanks to a very fine mod made by a very skilled modder
Now I'm still trying to understand the code I discovered but most important is it works.
Comments or questions are always welcome since the thread is created anyway..

I am also working on a mod for more interior sounds- what mod/code helped you play sounds only in the interior? I am trying to check if the game camera is inside a vehicle using GameEngine lua calls but am so far unsuccessful

 

OUCH ! My memory !
I'm quite sure it was the original Better Sounds Mod, but beware : it has been updated, idk if the feature is still in last version.

To get this done is quite a heavy task though. You also have to register a core module via a modscript file and stuff, there's a lot of
code involved.

 

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I looked at this mod already, I guess I'll have to figure out more about how its LUA works.
