soundscape play sound only once?

[Xyphos]

I've been mapping for a while now so I'm familiar with Hammer, but I'm new to the sounds portion of mapping so my previous maps have been for the most part, silent.

what I want to do is play a global-range non-looped sound in a multiplayer map that can only be heard by the person triggering that sound from different locations.

I've seen the online documentation for env_soundscape_triggerable and it seems to be what I need, but the documentation doesn't say how to make the sound play only once (NOT LOOPED)

You can do that by using a point_clientcommand to command "playgamesound directory\soundname.wav". For it to work, the player has to be the one to initiate the event, such as walking through a trigger or hitting a button.

THANKYOU!

your solution didn't work, but you did point me in the right direction!

point_clientCommand
name cmd_bell
OnUser1 !self Command PlayGameSound MySoundScript.Sound

trigger_multiple
OnStartTouching cmd_bell FireUser1



maps/<map name>_level_sounds.txt

Code: Select all

MySoundScript.Sound
{
  channel     CHAN_AUTO
  volume      VOL_NORM
  pitch       PITCH_NORM
  soundlevel  SNDLVL_GUNFIRE
  wave        "ambient/levels/canals/windchime2.wav"
}


this method, although a bit complex, did work!
