OnStart:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Custom/big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);

big_clock_chime.snt:

Code: (Select All)

<SOUNDENTITY>
  <SOUNDS>
      <Main>
          <Sound File="Custom/big_clock_chime" />

</SOUNDENTITY>

I want the sound to play at the clock entity as soon as the game starts, but it doesn't. The sound file is in redist/sounds/Custom.

remove Custom/ part and put your .snt file into cutom as well. It should work this way perfectly

big_clock_chime.snt:

I want the sound to play at the clock entity as soon as the game starts, but it doesn't. The sound file is in redist/sounds/Custom.

Also put the sounds in your custom story directory, so it plays for other people as well.

Remove the Custom/ from which file? the .hps, the .snt, or both? the .ogg and .snt are already in my sounds/Custom folder.

Also put the sounds in your custom story directory, so it plays for other people as well.

I will put it in my custom story when I'm ready to share it. As of now, the map file I test with isn't in my custom story directory, so no sounds will play if I put them there during testing.

[flamez3]

Remove the Custom/ from the .hps and the .snt

[eagledude4]

Remove the Custom/ from the .hps and the .snt

Okay, done. I don't need the .ogg extension in the .snt file right?

Code: (Select All)

<Sound File="big_clock_chime" />

Is that right?

Is that right?

No you should put the .ogg in there, and yes that looks good apart from the missing .ogg

[eagledude4]

Okay, latest files:

OnStart:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);

big_clock_chime.snt:

Code: (Select All)

<SOUNDENTITY>
  <SOUNDS>
      <Main>
          <Sound File="big_clock_chime.ogg" />
      </Main>
  </SOUNDS>
  <PROPERTIES Volume="0.5" MinDistance="20" MaxDistance="30" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="True" Loop="True" Use3D="True" Blockable="True" BlockVolumeMul="0.5" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>

Yep, should work.

[eagledude4]

Yep, should work.

For my other snt files, I didn't include the .ogg in the file name, and those sounds work. (Although I don't call them through the script)
