playsound3d

When using playsound3d in an action it wont play:

playsound3d ["A3\sounds_f\sfx\alarm_1.wss",_caller];

No error, the sound never plays.

Does the command even work in A3? Also how to find the names of the sound files?

Its say3d isn't it?

unit1 say3d "alarm"

The command was only introduced as-of arma 3: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playSound3D

and alarm_1.wss appears not to exist...in my sounds_f i have an "alarm.wss", and an "alarm_3.wss"

this worked successfully:

playsound3d ["a3\sounds_f\sfx\alarm.wss",unit1];

edit:

and i did some un-kosher things to get the file name :)

BUT, you can open the config viewer instead and browse under CfgSounds & CfgSoundEffects, just append the *.wss to the path listed
