Play sound at location

[UH60MG]

Hi,

Want an alarm to play at unspecified times throughout a mission.

Is there a command to play a sound at a given location? I know there's playsound but that just plays the sound as ambient noise.

Regarding the unspecified times, do you mean random intervals between the sound? Ie:

Code: [Select]

while {alive ROADCONEX} do
{
sleep (random 500);
ROADCONEX say ["alarm",200];
};
The source must be an object (or GameLogic?), it canno't (AFAIK) be a position. It will also stop transmitting on death. A roadcone is used for example above.

I suggest using a gamelogic, it cannot be killed/destroyed and can be placed anywhere. Of course, some objects are really easy to use for this purpose.

That's just what I was looking for thanks.

A game logic could be used instead of a cone.

Also make sure the sound file you use (.ogg) is mono (not stereo).

I'm curious, would the sound move if the source object moved?

Like a long fading scream (a single .ogg file), if someone falls off a bridge or building?

The aforementioned script seems overly complicated. Try:

gamelogicName say "soundname"
