Description

Description:
Plays positional sound with given filename on every computer on network. At least 2 parameters must be specified.
⚠
Since A3 v1.91.145537 the maximum volume allowed is 5. Exceeding this will result in sound not being played when executed remotely.
Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:
playSound3D [filename, soundSource, isInside, soundPosition, volume, soundPitch, distance, offset]
Parameters:
filename: String - see Arma 3: SoundFiles for available filenames or Example 3 to use mission files.
soundSource: Object - the object emitting the sound. If "sound position" is specified this parameter is ignored
isInside: Boolean - (Optional, default false)
soundPosition: PositionASL - (Optional, default [0,0,0]) position for sound emitter, will override "sound source" position.
volume: Number - (Optional, default 1) Maximum value: 5 (limited since A3 v1.91.145537)
soundPitch: Number - (Optional, default 1) 1: Normal, 0.5: Darth Vader, 2: Chipmunks, etc.
distance: Number - (Optional, default 0) How far is sound audible (0 = no max distance)
offset: Scalar - (Optional, default 0) Offset in seconds. Same as with playMusic Template:since
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\blip1.wav", player]
Example 2:
playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\blip1.wav", player, false, getPosASL player, 1, 1, 0]
Example 3:
playSound3D [getMissionPath "mySound.ogg", player]; // to play a mission directory sound
Example 4:
Sound file extension must be specified even if a config entry has none: playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\alarm_independent", player]; // no sound playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\alarm_independent.wss", player]; // alarm

Currently, playSound3D is not JIP compatible, so joining players will not hear the sound if is started before and is still playing when player joins.

When object is supplied but not a position, the position is taken from object, otherwise the position is taken from supplied position. That doesn't mean that when position is taken from object it is going to follow object when it changes position. The sound is generated at object position and it stays there.

One other important note: If soundSource param is objNull then his command develops the same bug with first person view as createSoundSource and say3D. If soundSource param is player then the bug is inverted. It seems that passing vehicle player as soundSource param is the only way to make it behave correctly when vehicles involved.
