Implementation of Acceleration Based Accent Swings

[LyleStyle]

I was reading this thread:

We need a good implementation of slashes

Finally got some time to play with this. [ProffieOS6 New Proof of Concept - Acceleration Based Accent Swings/Slashes] I’m using the function that we use for RealClash to select clash, bgnlock and endlock sounds based on how hard the clash is and re-purposing it to pick the Accent Swing swng files based on the acceleration of the swing. This will allow us to set the swng.wav files up sequentially from slowest to faster swings/slashes and have the sound used be based on the actual acceleration. This is still early in testing but I have it working pretty nicely as you’ll hear in the video. In addition, for both RealClash and the Enhanced Accent Swings I’ve added a new feature based on Fredrik’s NO_REPEAT_RANDOM to prevent the same sound from being repeated even if you do the exact same clash strength or swing acceleration. If the file tied to the specific parameter was just played we will instead randomly select either the previous or next file sequentially. This allows the sound to still be based on the clash or acceleration but not repeat the same sound. And since we’re going to be ordering the sounds based on intensity or speed the selection will still be equivalent. I’ve also added this to the Countdown to ProffieOS6 page to keep everything organized. https://fett263.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/proffieOS6-intro.html

Did this ever come together? With my nunchaku project, I want to be able to do swings that have a “strike” at peak swing. This way I can do swing where the “bad guy” ducks out and it looks like I’ve walloped them. Also interested in how this might work in general at this point.

Yup, this has been in there since OS6, information here:

Hmm the “peak” might be where the speed is the highest? If so we could try to trigger a sound when the speed starts to decrease.

What about triggering an effect as well? If the scale is 1-16, with the .wav files numbered just so, when accent 16 (or even a range like 14-16) is played could that trigger a visual clash/flash of some kind? I’d like to be able to move the chucks about and then “pop” a hard swing and have it look like I hit something.

Since we have a slash (or we did, since the scaling method replaces it) and a clash, maybe a non contact simulation of contact is a “bash”?

Thinking about it, it’s similar to multi-blast…but not quite as I’d like to do it without buttons.

Just use a TransitionPulseL<> with SwingSpeed<> as the Pulse.

Example:

TransitionPulseL<TrConcat<TrFade<200>,Red,TrFade<200>>,ThresholdPulseF<SwingSpeed<400>>>
