So to sort this ,

you have add a trigger in the editor  and you have add this code ?

How exacly you do this ?

 

Do you have other scripts running ?

Have you enable to show the scripts error ?

[Quack O'Neill 11]

yes i have a civilian stood inside a trigger. if he moves out of it he gets shot. but because he is stood inside it the music file is played, but only once. and i need it to play for ever. i used - as a way of saying  x, 21, 25, 3600
and its immersion breaking if the rescue team can hear the sounds around the hostage when they are at the airport. so it has to 3d.

it can take a long time for players to set up and get the drones out and then transport the units to the ao. so the player playing as hostage will be in there for way over an hour. 1-4 hour game play. 

 

no there arnt any other scripts in this mission. not 3rd party scripts. i have things like !Alive; or what ever it is to trigger way points and tasks. but thats it.

yeah i get the black and white error messages on run or with some of my examples i get an error when the sound stops. but that was only when i was using sleep with out the.

while {true} do      part.
 

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

try :

Name you Hostage in the editor and then add this in a .sqf and exec this

 

Not tested, it should work

Quack_Hostage_alive = true;

[] spawn {
	while {Quack_Hostage_alive} do {

	if (alive Quack_Hostage) then {
	
		tor1 say3D ["Music1", 1000, 3];
		sleep 21;
		Quack_Hostage_alive = true;
		}else{
		Quack_Hostage_alive = false;
		};		
};
};

if tort is the hostage then name Quack_Hostage , tort

[Quack O'Neill 11]

thanks :) , yeah he is called miller for now but it will be easier to change this. 

so by putting this in my init.sqf i wont even need a trigger ?

and it will allways play out of the object named tor1 ?

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Yes  the trigger is not needed in this case .

You can create a separate .sqf and

[]execVM "yourfile.sqf";

[Quack O'Neill 11]

no nothing played after using this.
 

Miller_alive = true;

[] spawn {
	while {Miller_alive} do {

	if (!alive Miller) then {
	
		tor1 say3D ["Music1", 1000, 3];
		sleep 21;
		Miller_alive = true;
		}else{
		Miller_alive = false;
		};		
};
};

 

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

hold on to check this.

this is an error also

[Quack O'Neill 11]

can we get a loop icon in the music section of the triggers please. 

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Do you mean a notification that the loop is made ?

Icon like an image on screen?

 

[Quack O'Neill 11]

yes an icon / checkbox next to the play icon in the music section of the trigger. so you can loop and music, sfx, environment sound with the click of a button ?

hang on iv made my new documents, im just going to run the mission.

To be honest i'm not editing anything with the 3d editor , so actually , i don't have any idea !

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

For the environment sound check if you want here:

 

 

[Quack O'Neill 11]

I got this error.
https://ibb.co/fChz7f

 

[Quack O'Neill 11]

ok i, deeted the cgf code from my init and that got rid of the error, but another error popped up after init. 
https://ibb.co/dsgbnf

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

did you forgot the }; ?

 

class CfgSounds
{
	sounds[] = {};
		
	//adjust the volume from db0

	class Music1{name = "Music1";sound[] = {"music\ee3.ogg", db0, 1.0};titles[] = {};};

};

 

Do you edit with something like notepad++ ?

 

notepad++
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

and also use the extra pluggins
(this way will be better , it will give also some certain colors to be able to detect ex. problems )
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8680

[Quack O'Neill 11]

yea i used notepad++ 

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

it says support module , that you might be using in the editor ? but i can't tell you about this.

[Quack O'Neill 11]

i repasted the the Cfg code in my init and the sound file still wont play.
