playSound, where's the classes?!

[thetrooper 10]

I want to play a sound usually under in triggers>Voice, 'Radio noise 2' by a SQF file. Can't find it's class name for it anywhere?

Also, is there a way to play it but only for a few seconds and not have it play all the time?

Save the mission with the trigger, look for that trigger in mission.sqm and see the file it plays.

Good idea! Now, how can I only play it for a set amount of time?

If you need to play it for a certain amount of time before it ends, do this:

soundobject = "HeliHEmpty" createVehicleLocal [0, 0, 0];
soundobject spawn
{
_this attachTo [vehicle player, [0, 0, 0]];
_this say2D "sound";
sleep 4;
deleteVehicle _this;
};

ok, what bits do I need to change and to what? What do they refer to?

"HeliHEmpty"

_this

"sound"

Just "sound" to the one you discovered in mission.sqm.

OK, problem I got: The sound I want to use is under the effects>Trigger>Radio Walkie. The class for this is radio_walkie1_EP1. It doesn't seem to find it?
