In Radiant how does one put the sounds in a location. I understand the ubersound tut.
What I do not understand is how to put the sound in the map correctly. I would like to use the Tiger idling sound in MP Map, at a local location (local sound), do I use the speaker function in Radiant to place sound?

Create a script_model with model 'fx/dummy.tik'. Assign a targetname of e.g. speaker.
In your script type:
$speaker playsound mysound

JV-
IF you would want the sound to be triggered, such as in a large door opening/closing can you just add:
waittill_trigger as in $speaker waittill_trigger playsound mysound ???
not sure of the proper command syntax there either.....

Well usually the speaker isn't a trigger
.
Let's say you've got a trigger_multiple with targetname 'trigger' that has to trigger the sound generated by the script_model $speaker. If you want it to play every time the trigger is activated, a thread in your script would look like this:
Code: Select all
while(1)
{
$trigger waittill trigger
$speaker playsound mysound
wait 1.5 // length of sound file
}
but how?

but.. i'm a noob and i didn't uderstand the ambiente sound tut. and i read that it would not be good to place triggers for MP maps... till i heard of the speaker project!
how do i build this speaker? how do i target it 'fx\dummy.tik'? where do i code the part for the speaker to start playing? this is so complicated!

Just select the object and press "n" and give it a "targetname" (key) of "xxx" (value). Then create a trigger multiple where you want the sound to be played. Then give it a setthread "speaker". In your script:
speaker: //the setthread value
$targetname playsound mysound //$targetname is the targetname you give your speaker
end

Tut script
That speaker script goes after the 'level waittill spawn' part.

sorry guys! i can't make this!
what do i put in the "$speaker1 playsound mysound" mysound parameter? is it the sound path? do i need to code anywhere else? i only coded my g2.scr (g2 is map name) and nothing more. i also make a speaker and i made it a "trigger_multiple" i added targetname "speaker1" and setthread "speaker" to it's "parms" (are they parameters?)

i'm desperate! can anyone malink me at a post a demo map? a pk3 with all it's needed to make a player hear a sound when he's near the object. like a square room with a speaker on it. when the playere gets near the speaker he herars the custom sound...
simple though? NOT!
please help me!
(pk3is no t necessary, only the .map and the .scr( i'd prefer this way so that i could analyze how you did that)) i'll compile it later
