Description
- Description:
- Creates a sound source of the given type (type is the name of the subclass of CfgVehicles which is pointing to the sound defined in CfgSFX). If the markers array contains several marker names, the position of a random one is used, otherwise, the given position is used. The sound source is placed inside a circle with this position as its center and placement as its radius. Some of the vanilla classes pre-configured in Arma 3:
- "Sound_Alarm"
- "Sound_Alarm2"
- "Sound_BattlefieldExplosions"
- "Sound_BattlefieldFirefight"
- "Sound_Fire"
- "Sound_SmokeWreck1"
- "Sound_SparklesWreck1"
- "Sound_SparklesWreck2"
- "Sound_Stream"
// description.ext class CfgSFX { class MyOwl { sound0[] = {"@A3\Sounds_F\environment\animals\birds\owl1", db-10, 1.0, 1000, 0.2, 0, 15, 30}; // path to addon sound sound1[] = {"@A3\Sounds_F\environment\animals\birds\owl2", db-10, 1.0, 1000, 0.2, 0, 15, 30}; // path to addon sound sound2[] = {"@A3\Sounds_F\environment\animals\birds\owl3", db-10, 1.0, 1000, 0.2, 0, 15, 30}; // path to addon sound sounds[] = {sound0, sound1, sound2}; empty[] = {"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class MyOwlSound // class name to be used with createSoundSource { sound = "MyOwl"; // reference to CfgSFX class }; };
Note that the sound created by createSoundSource will always be looping. Also when CfgSFX sound definition contains more than 1 sound, there is no guarantee that the sound played will be the same on every PC in Multiplayer._owl = createSoundSource ["MyOwlSound", position player, [], 0];
