Radio/music?

Post by Snake »

I try to use a radio with some custom music, but it doesn't work. Here are the pictures from my tik/script/script model:

This is my tik file:

wav

I think it has to be a special kind of wav file or it wont play. Also your tiki file name for the sound should not have .wav at the end. Here is a sound that works in all game types:

alias radio_loop sound/mechanics/Mec_RadioMusic_01.wav soundparms 0.5 0.0 1.0 0.0 150 800 local streamed maps "m2l1 m6l2a dm moh obj train"

Notice the name of the sound is "radio_loop" and it plays "Mec_RadioMusic_01.wav". So, it would be better if you named your sound just "hitman". If you use "playsound" in your script, it plays one time and stops. And, the loopsound line should be in a thread down below everything else with a wait line.

start_sounds:

wait 1
$speaker1 loopsound hitman

end

Using that thread requires you to start it under prespawn with the line "thread start_sounds". Also, your sound tiki has to be listed in your map's precache script (mymapname_precache.scr).

If you still can't get it working, try "sound/mechanics/Mec_RadioMusic_01.wav" in place of the "sound/test/hitman.wav" in the tiki file to see if the tiki is working.
