Adding music to mission....Help!

[EO 11231]

Good evening Armaholics......i would like to add a custom soundtrack to a mission i'm creating, similar to the way the DayZ music was structured in the original DayZ mod. I always loved the way the music would randomly just bubble up out of nowhere during gameplay.....I would like some help as to how to do something similar.....:confused:

Thanks.

Hi. First of you need to define class at description.ext file.

For example:

class CfgMusic {
tracks[] = {intro,task};
class intro {name="m_intro";sound[] = {"music\intro.ogg",db,1.0};titles[] = {};};
class task {name="m_task";sound[] = {"music\task.ogg",db,1.0};titles[] = {};};
};

Then you can play this client side through command:

playMusic "task";
playMusic "intro";

Keep in mind that you can also set / change the volume of music and sound effects:
