can someone please help me i am trying to loop a sound with a trigger can anyone give me some advise on this as i have found no information anywhere in the forums only looping the sound within the allias files thanks in advance.......

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,...

try a value of 1 in your alias' row for this column

have tried the tutorial on sound alliases and i dont understand it very well i spent 2 days trying to get a sound to loop in the soundalias so i thought i would try another way around it by spawning a sound through a trigger linking to a thread that is what i was realy asking for help on i have only been messing with
code for a week or so i am getting the hang of it a little but thanks anyway for the help....

Hey maximus are you trying to use a stock sound or custom sound? Also do you want it to play throughout the entire map or just in a certain area?

i am trying to use a stock sound i have got the sound to run from a trigger but i sounds really bad and only plays once i have tried the trigger multiple infact most of the triggers i have tried, and also i just want the sound to be local to the area of the fire ....

If you wanna combine a fire effect + sound, read this:

it's rather looping

A loop sound should be rather easy to do. Sevenz has the right idea.

In your sound alias, put "loop" with the line of your sound.

Something like

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,...

sound1,,sound1.mp3,10,10,5,5,10,10,radio,,loop,

So in your line for the sound (Forgot the name), put loop. If I remember correctly. When I get home tonight, I can look up my soundalias file and give you a proper example.

The loop should not be a 1. It should be loop or non-loop.

To make it local, change the radio to local or announcement. Can't remember which. I will check my soundalias file and show you. You can also change the volume and distance.

You can also check out voidsource's youtube tutorial on sound. He covers looping, local, annoucement, etc.

Here

For the trigger, just create it and in script, use the playsound function. So it will play the soundalias in the map soundaliases file. And all the characteristics of the sound is in there, like the looping that you wanted.

Hope this helps.

ok thanks guys i will try that thanks again

Example.

name,sequence,file,vol_mod,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speak


chargemusic,,heroes7part3/chargemusic.mp3,,1,1,,,360,6000,local,streamed,,looping,master,heli_b2,,,,,,radio

Try editing the channel, loop, type, etc. So change the local, streamed, etc. It's all in there. Be sure to change the file to the stock file. I am sure you know this. As for looping, default is non-looping so don't put anything in there. If you want looping, just put looping.

Hope this helps! Be sure to check out voidsource's tut. In the video, he has the description of each of those characteristics. I forgot what they are called. You get the idea, try it!

EDIT: Did not think the post would be long. Can an admin please fix this? Thanks. If you're around...

Here ya go:

ftp://gangsterdave.dyndns.org/Tutorial_map_with_sound.zip

A small map with a broken pipe in the center. Walk up to it and you'll hear the steam escaping. Walk away and it fades.
Look at all of the files, especially my soundalias. You'll have your sound going no problem.
