Ingame music trigger

[stu81 45]

I'm trying to get a song to play in game from a radio trigger. I can get it to play but only I can hear it. Other players can't even with music turned up.

Setup as follows....

Description.ext is .....

class cfgMusic

{

tracks[]={song1};

class track1

{

name="song1";

sound[] = {\music\songname1.ogg, db+5, 1.0};

};

class track2

{

name="song2";

sound[] = {\music\songname2.ogg, db+5, 1.0};

};

};

Called by a triggers radio alpha.....

nul=execVM "scripts\songname1.sqf";

nul=execVM "scripts\songname2.sqf";

Songname1.sqf.........

PlayMusic "track1";

Songname2.sqf.........

PlayMusic "track2";

As I said, plays for just me and not the whole server.

Thanks

Ps I have the real song names in instead of songname1 etc and its a dedicated server if that changes anything.

The reason (I think) it is only playing for you on the server is because you are using a script .sqf when you don't need to for playing a music track.

 

Try this instead...

Description.ext:

class CfgSounds {

class track1 {
    name = "track1";
    sound[] = {music\songname1.ogg,5.0,1.0};
    titles[] = {};};

class track2 {
    name = "track2";
    sound[] = {music\songname2.ogg,5.0,1.0};
    titles[] = {};};
};

In Trigger(s) Activation:

PlayMusic "track1";

That should result in the music track playing for all connected clients.

Hi there, I know I'm responding to a post that's nearly a decade old but I'm kind of desperate. I tried using this method and activating the playMusic function with a blufor detection trigger and had no luck. Any clue what I might be doing wrong?
