$soldat3 turnto $halftrack1

Firstly are you running the map in SH, as I found that sound listed in SH's uberdialog.scr, silly question I know but...

Secondly, are you getting any errors in your console, its probably a NIL listener error because your syntax look okay.

Thirdly, try checking the targetnames, is the guy saying the phrase actually refered too as $soldat3.

I suspect you are getting an error message in console reading something like no alias defined in Uberdialog.

You need to make sure that the sound you are using is defined as available in the map you are running

so the default entry in the uberdialog looks like this:

alias dfr_T2L1_AP4368 sound/dialogue/Mission_2/Allies/dfr_T2L1_AP4368tm22.mp3 soundparms 1.3 0.0 1.0 0.0 160 2400 dialog streamed subtitle "Halftrack! Barnes, get on the artillery and take it out!" maps "t2l1 "

Note the but at the end. This is saying this sound is only available for maps that start t2l1. If you are adding the AI to a map you are making add the name on the end of the maps entry like:

alias dfr_T2L1_AP4368 sound/dialogue/Mission_2/Allies/dfr_T2L1_AP4368tm22.mp3 soundparms 1.3 0.0 1.0 0.0 160 2400 dialog streamed subtitle "Halftrack! Barnes, get on the artillery and take it out!" maps "t2l1 MYMAP "

or if it's a multiplayer map just add:

alias dfr_T2L1_AP4368 sound/dialogue/Mission_2/Allies/dfr_T2L1_AP4368tm22.mp3 soundparms 1.3 0.0 1.0 0.0 160 2400 dialog streamed subtitle "Halftrack! Barnes, get on the artillery and take it out!" maps "t2l1 obj dm "

Add the updated uberdialog to the pk3 for the map in the unersound folder. Be warned, this may affect other custom maps you have though.

Better to make a new tiki, than overwrite the uberdialog.scr . Or if its an SP map you could get away with prefixing the map test_ , but this will make your map load slower.

if its spearhead dialog, you need to put 'anim' not 'say'
