UE2 - UT2kX Need to make PlayDyingSound use the “I’m hit” character sound

[Silver_Ibex]

In the pawns PlayDyingSound function I want to replace the default sounds with the controllers class “I’m hit” voice message sound.

So that players will just shout “I’m hit” when they die.

How do you ask the controller for the proper class sound name? So it can be played by the Pawn.

Code from Pawn class

function PlayDyingSound()
{
local name ImHit;

	// Dont play dying sound if a skeleton. Tricky without vocal chords.
	if ( bSkeletized )
		return;

	if ( bGibbed )
	{
        PlaySound(GibGroupClass.static.GibSound(), SLOT_Pain,3.5*TransientSoundVolume,true,500);
		return;
	}

    if ( HeadVolume.bWaterVolume )
    {
        PlaySound(GetSound(EST_Drown), SLOT_Pain,2.5*TransientSoundVolume,true,500);
        return;
    }
//removed the default sounds
	//PlaySound(SoundGroupClass.static.GetDeathSound(), SLOT_Pain,2.5*TransientSoundVolume, true,500);

//now what should go here???

	}
	

}

	if ( bGibbed )
	{
        PlaySound(GibGroupClass.static.GibSound(), SLOT_Pain,3.5*TransientSoundVolume,true,500);
		return;
	}

    if ( HeadVolume.bWaterVolume )
    {
        PlaySound(GetSound(EST_Drown), SLOT_Pain,2.5*TransientSoundVolume,true,500);
        return;
    }
//removed the default sounds
	//PlaySound(SoundGroupClass.static.GetDeathSound(), SLOT_Pain,2.5*TransientSoundVolume, true,500);

//now what should go here???

	}
}

What you want for the "I'm Hit" sound is the VoiceType.
For xPawn the default value defined is:
VoiceType="xGame.MercMaleVoice"

If you look inside of MercMaleVoice you'll find this is the sound you're looking for:
OtherSound(4)=Sound'TauntPack.mm_im_hit'

Luckily, for all the default xVoicePacks, the OtherSound(4) is actually the "I'm hit!" sound. So you can rely on that to be correct for all the stock voice packs.

What you'll have to do is use the function DynamicLoadObject (http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:DynamicLoadObject)

DynamicLoadObject (string ObjectName, class ObjectClass, optional bool MayFail)

To load the VoicePack and then presumably you can just play the VoicePack.OtherSounds[4].
