Description
- Description:
- Unit or object will say given sound in 3D Space. This allows broadcasting of positional music or sound from a source, without having to script a fade sound or music command. Compare this with say2D which will always play a sound at the location of the player after he has been in the vicinity of a broadcasting sound. Sound is defined in "CfgSounds" of the Description.ext or main config.
- Problems:
- For some unknown reason if at the moment of command execution the player is in first person view and is inside a vehicle, the sound created is greatly attenuated.
- Groups:
- Broken CommandsSounds

- The only difference with this command and say is during cutscenes (when some camera effect is active). In cutscenes, say3D is 3D, say is not.

- In Arma 2 1.63, the object this command is assigned to must be alive for the sound to broadcast. If the object is killed while the sound is still playing, the sound will stop immediately.
Here is a link to the forum to get around this issue: [1]
I have not tested this in Arma 3 yet. - Posted on March 11, 2017 - 14:43 (UTC)

This command creates sound object "#soundonvehicle" which can be detected with allMissionObjects:
onEachFrame {hintSilent str allMissionObjects "#soundonvehicle"}; [] spawn {sleep 1; player say3D "Alarm"};
