Looped Custom Sounds

[Crimson Mage 2]

Hello, I want to have a bunch of objects in my mission have custom ambient sound effects. The way I do this is not very performance friendly but I don't know any other way to do it. Is there a better way to have objects loop a sound effect?

 

Object's init

call{
[]spawn {
 while {true} do { tentlight_1 say ["light",10];
 sleep 9;
 };
};}

object's init:

this spawn 
{
	while { alive _this } do
	{
		_this say ["light", 10];		
		sleep 9;
	};
};

So with that I can delete the object after the player exits the area and it won't harm performance?

yes, when you delete object, loop will end and sound will stop

Would it be worthwhile to use a trigger to activate the sounds when a player enters the area? Or is the performance loss already minimal.

you will probably add heavier condition to loop with checking if any of player is near
