sound question - Soverain - 07-31-2012
Okay guys, I created a script where a head will appear upon picking up a key. My question is how do I make the scream sound? I imagine it would be similar to this...
PlaySoundAtEntity("secretkey", "21_scream10.ogg", "player", 1, false);
but I am unsure if this is correct. Soundname would be the object the player has to interact with right?

The sound name is the internal name of the sound. You can name it whatever you want.
Also, I think you can remove the .ogg extension. I only use it when I play music.

In the function where you set the head active, place:
Code:
PlaySoundAtEntity("secretkey", "21_scream10", "Player", 1, false);I think forgetting to capitalize "Player" can cause an error.

RE: sound question - Adny - 07-31-2012
"21_scream10" can't be used in this function. The string used for the sound name must be a .snt (sound configuration) file. The only available .snt file that includes that specific sound (as well as 11 others the .snt chooses at random) is "21_screams". Your function should be:
PlaySoundAtEntity("secretkey", "21_screams", "Player", 1, false);
Hope that helped.
Also, you don't need an internal name unless you intend to use a function like StopSound or FadeInSound (both of which only use the internal name, not the actual name of a .snt file). You can leave it blank ("") if you'd like.

Your function should be:I'm afraid the sound is still not working when the head appears...
PlaySoundAtEntity("secretkey", "21_screams", "Player", 1, false);

void scream(string &in asEntity, string&in type)
Syntax is wrong, it should be:
void scream(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
Also, you still didn't capitalize the first letter of "Player" in the PlaySoundAtEntity function. If you fix that, it should work.
