Small Help needed

You do not place sound and particles entities to turn them on/off, you only place them to have them enabled from the start of a level and if wanted turning them off while playing the level.

If you want to play a sound or start a particle while playing a level, that is not active when starting the level, you create areas and use the PlaySoundAtEntity/CreateParticleSystemAtEntity functions.

So for example create a script area called AreaMyEffects, then in script type:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("monster_alert_sound", "amb_alert.snt", "AreaMyEffects", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("monster_alert_particle", "ps_water_dump.ps", "AreaMyEffects", false);

This will make the sound play and the particle to appear at the center of the AreaMyEffects area.

You can also use entities for this, for example if you have a Lamp entity named MyBigBrightCandle, then:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("monster_alert_sound", "amb_alert.snt", "MyBigBrightCandle", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("monster_alert_particle", "ps_water_dump.ps", "MyBigBrightCandle", false);

Would do the same and play/create stuff at the candle entity.
