playSound issue...

[Tactical Anders]

Heya guys!

 

 

Ive been working on my very first script since this morning and with alot of googling and alot of bohemia wikitime i got it running 99% as i want it!

 

BUT....

 

I cant get a bloody sound to play.

 

I have a addAction set up with simple IF, THEN, ELSE statments.

 

In the THEN statment i have the (Within curlybrackets) ---->   playSound "sound1.ogg"

 

The file is contained within the root for now with the exact same filename and format.

 

Description.ext

class CfgSounds {

sounds[] = {};

        class Sound1
        {
        name = "Sound1";
        sound[] = {"Sound1.ogg", 0, 1};
        titles[] = {};
        };
};

I keep getting the errormessage ingame that the Sound1,ogg" cannot be found.. i just cant get my head around this one =/

 

Appreciative of any help, and even if the script is offering little help in Actual Epoch id be glad to share it when done and tested properly.

 

Cheers!

ofcourse, you have to call the sound with playSound "Sound1"; instead of using the file-extension... :)

 

and keep an eye of upper and lowercase

 

cheers

Seriously ??

 

If this works you have my gratitue and ill fall back for some serious selfharm bangheadtothewall style :)

[Tactical Anders]

Hmm.. changed it and still nothing =/

 

Does all its vital tasks, extinguishes vehiclefires, send hint but doesnt play the friggin sound.. =/

[Tactical Anders]

Okay i changed the 

playSound

 to

 player say ["Sound1", 100];

instead and now it works.

 

Question is, is that sound heard by everyone near me or do i have to use another function for that ?

I suggest putting the sound in a sound folder.

also make it sounds []={sound1};

Edit: this is how I have my sounds set up

 

class CfgSounds{	
class bodies	{		name="bodies";		sound[]={scripts\sounds\bodies.ogg,0.6,1};		titles[] = {};	};};

I now notice I don't even use the sounds line in the main.

and I don't use "" in the .ogg line.

I'm sure you will get it right this time

Yeah i got it working, and ill set the proper dir's up wheni got it working like i want to.

player say3D ["Sound1", 100];

for global sound, works like a charm.
