playSound3D issue

[eagledude4 3]

Doesn't seem to work:

playSound3D ["Sounds/DoorBell.ogg", player];

In my mission, I have a Sounds folder, and the DoorBell.ogg is located there. Does the sound file have to be a wav?

And you declared the sound in description.ext?

[eagledude4 3]

Is that necessary if I'm using filenames?

[jacmac 2]

The sound isn't a file name, it's a class object.

The sound isn't a file name, it's a class object.

This is a new A3 function, and according to the wiki page it takes a filename directly.

Try replacing the / with a \

Thanks eddie, however the sound still doesn't play.
