Music/radio help.

[BlackDeath-CFH 1]

i know how to get music and sounds into a mission, but instead of the music playing where ever you are i want it to be playing on a radio where these 2 soldier are sitting down, and when you walk closer it gets louder and when you walk away it gets lower. how do i do this? i did search but all it came up with was like useing the radio ect ect and useing music in a mission i already know how to do.

Define your music as a sound and use the playsound command on the radio.

so where it says CfgMusic in the description.ext i make it CfgSounds and use playSound "sound" in the radio object placed on the maps init field? if so this doesnt seem to work, i get a "No entry" error.

hmmm nevermind what i said, after tinkering around with it a bit i got it to work. but when you walk away from the radio it still plays like it was a music file. doesnt get any lower.

As Pins said in the other thread, use the say command instead.

radio1 say "music"

i dont know what to do with that command, do i put it in the init fiield of the radio? or a activation field of a trigger?

[RED 0]

use it on the onactivation field of a trigger, make sure you have the sound defined as you would a voice though.

well it doesnt seem to be working, the music file plays fine when i activate it through the trigger

but i named the object radio 'radio' and in the activation field of the trigger i put radio say "music" and it doesnt play. here is my description.ext

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgSounds

{

   class music

   {

       name = "music";

       sound[] = {"\sound\music.ogg", db+10, 1.0};

       titles[] = {0, $STRM_music};

   };

did i do something wrong? because i dont think i did.. because the music plays fine... just not the way i want it to be done.

FoNeKiLL....this might work :

Where you have "db+10"   .... Try putting something like "db-40"

A volume of +10 might be too loud and you can hear it from farther distances. I'm pretty sure that ive seen -40 work. Let me know.

Otherwise...if its not working at all as a "sound"....then all I can think of is making sure the file is saved as "mono" instead of "stereo".

Oh...and I figured I could ask a question here since we are on the subject of sounds and music.

Has anyone found a way to stop a sound/music file in the middle of playing. So that way you could have say a radio, with actions that have you pick from a few different songs, and instead of the songs overlaying each other when you click on them...it would stop the previous song and start the new one you selected.
