To avoid having to create a dummy sound definition, you can use $NONE$ instead.

When using this function, I found that if the parameter '''sound''' was empty, then you would always get a 'Sound not found' error. The following code fixes this problem. You need to create a dummy sound. This is what example 3 is hinting towards.


description.ext:
|x4= <sqf>_trigger setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "BattlefieldExplosions3", ""];</sqf>
<code>class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {};
class NoSound
{
name = "NoSound";
sound[] = {"", 0, 1};
titles[] = {};
}; //Dummy sound needed for setSoundEffect command, due to stupid bug in engine.
};
</code>
(code sample above written by 'CarlGustaffa' on the Bohemia Interactive forums.)


script.sqf:
|x5= <sqf>_trigger setSoundEffect ["$NONE$", "", "", "Owl"];</sqf>
<code>_trigger = createTrigger[ "EmptyDetector" , _position ];
_trigger setTriggerStatements [ "true" , "" , "" ];
_trigger setSoundEffect[ "NoSound" , "" , "" , "Wind2_EP1" ];
