Hey everyone, I am trying to use the playSound3D function with the "local" parameter that has been introduced in 2.06, but I cannot get it to work. Either I'm not getting it or doing something wrong. Basically, when using the function syntax and putting in all the parameters the sound seems to play just fine, however as soon as I add the last parameter (either set to true or false) the sound does not play at all. What I would love to have is this function BE local, as in, the sound played to be heard only by the player triggering it. Now I know the function itself says its effect is global by default (GE), so it makes me wonder whether the "local" parameter is not working or it is something completely different. Thanks for your help in advance! https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playSound3D

Hey folks, I started with building missions a few weeks ago and something I really wanted to dive in deeper is the sounds from Arma 3 itself. I would love to add some voicelines to my mission. Not custom voice lines (my voice is horrible and I don't want to hire somebody else), but existing voicelines. There are a lot of radio messages and stuff you could use to get your players to react on something. Simple stuff like "Roger", "Yes, Sir" and so on. But the problem for me is, finding these little fuckers. I found, of course, the very extensive List in the Wiki for Sound Files, but I was thinking maybe someone had already the same idea and a little bit more of programming skills and already made a tool for this. So, is there something Jukebox like for SFX? So that you can really search for the sounds you are looking for, with a preview before you build them into your mission and have to test it there? Or is there maybe an easier way to play/test sounds in the debug console? Any help would be deeply appreciated. I looked for it like two days, but I fear I am searching in the wrong direction or having some faulty reasoning. Thanks in advance, Jan

I am pleased to announce my first script release. GRAD Fireworks What it does Shoots rockets in the air. Takes input: Position Color (Random, Red, Green, Blue, White) Type (Random, Fizzer, Normal, Rain) Rain is always white. Sample Call (you can call from any client or server) [getPos objectname, 'normal','red'] remoteExec ["GRAD_fnc_callFireworksServer", 2]; Installation Copy GRAD_fireworks to your mission directory Put code below in description.ext Call the script via trigger, radio, script, whatever. Sample call above. class cfgFunctions { #include "GRAD_fireworks\cfgFunctions.hpp" }; class cfgSounds { #include "GRAD_fireworks\cfgSounds.hpp" }; How it works Uses Flares, Lightpoints and some sounds to achieve the effect. Therefore totally vanilla compatible. Computation is done on the server which then sends precalculated stuff to the clients. Those display the effects locally, but it should look the same on every computer. In usage example here: Download Script + Sample Mission https://github.com/gruppe-adler/grad-fireworks.Stratis Update 2022 Added Code Improvements by @sarogahtyp, updated + unarchived Repo Feedback welcome If you have any suggestions codewise or effectwise, let me know.

Hey guys, I am trying to wrap my head around the various playMusic, say2D, playSound3D commands and am still having trouble. I would like achieve the following two things: - When a blufor player uses an action on an object, ONLY the blufor players hear a 2D sound (it has to follow the player and be heard locally, like a radio message of sort). - The same as above, but triggered when any blufor player enters a trigger. I tried various commands but am still struggling with locality of the commands. I believe that I am not using them on the correct clients, or something like that. The reason it needs to be played for side is that the mission is supposed to be PvP, so I do not want the opfor team to hear the audio. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers!

Adding needful sounds one-by-one to the Description.ext is annoying. I want to add all the sounds by defining the class as ALL of cfgsound. The sound browser mod, here: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=34408, has all the sounds loaded usable by defining the whole cfgsound library but I can't figure out how. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

Hey guys, I am thinking of changing some tank reload sounds for use with my group. I am considering changing some of the default reload sounds of the round being loaded to a couple different ones. Only thing is, I'd like it to be kind of random across several different sounds. I already figured I would need to make a small mod out of it that would override the files that tanks use (in this case I believe it's default vanilla tank reload sfx). I think I would be able to override the sound itself, but I would like to have a few variants of the reload sfx which would be chosen and played at random. Is it possible to script in any way? I will be thankful for any guidance in this regard. Thanks! Adam
