Just a simple one, after sime extremely good help from DeekCiti I can now play sounds in various locations. I notice that all the tutorials of sound, even if with a trigger (though I am struggling to get trigger sounds to work) use a radius for the sound.

I would like to know if it is possable to have a sound fill a square room without leaking out or missing the corners.

I thought a trigger_multiple and an invisable brush linked to it both filling the room might work but I can't get the trigger to make my sound work nor can I find any way of avoiding the need of sound filling a radius from a centre point.

Any advice or info would be great. Thank you.

basically like this:

trig = getent("soundtrig", "targetname");

for (;;)
{
  trig waittill("trigger", player);
  trig playsoundtoplayer("soundalias", player);
}

Thank you very much for helping. I am struggling though - sorry.

I have:

main()
	{
		thread globalSoundFx();
		thread test_sound1();
	}
globalSoundFx()
	{
		maps\mp\_fx::loopSound("7th_dimension", (1024, 1024, 472), 1);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopSound("coventry_carol", (1899, 1553, 364), 1);
	}
test_sound1()
	{
		trig = getent("testsound", "targetname");
		for (;;)
		{
			trig waittill("trigger", player);
			trig playsoundtoplayer("test_music", player);
		}
	}

I have the song listed in the csv too:

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage,center percentage,platform,envelop_min,envelop_max,envelop percentage
test_music,,top_floor/test_music.mp3,0.5,1,element,1,1,330,372,element,streamed,,looping,1,all_mp,,,,,0,,,0.2,,,,,

In radiant I have a brush with trigger texture and set as trigger_multiple and targetname of testsound.

The song works if I just set a radius for it like the other two I have but I don't know what I am doing for the trigger method

Could you tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Many thanks.

not sure, but you might need another entity as virtual sound source (trig for playSoundToPlayer might not accept a trigger as entity)

does it work if you remove the "streamed" setting from csv? (keep just the comma!)

below
trig playsoundtoplayer("test_music", player);
add wait( n );

replace n with the length of the song (e.g. 12.5 for 12 and a half seconds) or it will play multiple times simultanously

Many thanks for trying to help - I have been looking at this since 9 last night, it is now 4am and I am still not having any luck. :(

if the problem is the trigger as sound source entity, this should fix it:

main()
{
	thread globalSoundFx();
	thread test_sound1();
}
globalSoundFx()
{
	maps\mp\_fx::loopSound("7th_dimension", (1024, 1024, 472), 1);
	maps\mp\_fx::loopSound("coventry_carol", (1899, 1553, 364), 1);
}
test_sound1()
{
	trig = getent("testsound", "targetname");
	trig_org = spawn("script_origin", trig.origin);
	
	for (;;)
	{
		trig waittill("trigger", player);
		trig_org playsoundtoplayer("test_music", player);
		wait (20); // change this to the seconds of the test_music sound!
	}
}

This didn't work, tried .wav as well as .mp3 but I have just had the idea of looking at the elevator sounds scripts to see what I can get from those. :)

most likely, your soundalias is bad or the sound file isn't packed properly into iwd/ff
