There is a Tutorial for this - >Here

However, as this fella tells it, you must create a script file for EACH DOOR...
This is NOT correct! There is a much easier method.

Create your door...func_door_rotating
give it a targetname...targetname=door
Now write a script using the GETARRAY command
Add the sound files to the PK3 file
Edit the *.csv files accordingly

You will need to writee ONE script file for each distinct doortype (i.e wooden door, metal door, sliding door, chainlink fence gate, etc.) - each type of sound.

Grassy helped me with this so I give him all the credit here.

Hats off to you, Buddy!

How do you trigger the sound in the script?

Hello? Somebody mention my name

Thanks Horseman

Your script still uses the normal waittill "trigger" even though there is no actual trigger

My last map "Munitions Factory" has a lot of doors both wooden and steel with sound, all tracked by two small routines.

An example of how this script should look like might be handy...

I used a version of this on ASYLUM 3 and it works perfectly
had well over 20 doors (included 3 distinct door types)

I used this script for my "Wooden Doors":

///////////////////////////////////
/////////| DOORS_SOUND.gsc  |//////
/////////| By <|WHC|>Grassy |//////
///////////////////////////////////

//Copy this file in the same location as [mapname].gsc and [mapname].bsp
//Add this line to your[mapname].gsc ---->  maps\mp\doors_sound::main();


main() {
  doors = getentarray("door", "targetname");
  for(i = 0; i < doors.size; i ++) {
     doors[i] thread sounds();
     wait(.3);
  }
}

sounds() {
   while(1) {
      self waittill ("trigger");
      self playsound ("dooropen");
      wait (3);
      self playsound ("doorclose");
      wait (1);
      self playsound ("doorcloseend");
   }
} 

Its the same except I added a 'thump sound' at the end of the door closing.
***dont forget to include the sound files and a coorosponding *.csv in the soundalias folder
