Now that you copied the two lines, save and close your alias. Then reopen it with MS Excel. You will notice the lines now show up correctly and you can read it.

Now, you will notice that I have defined my ambientplay here as an alias. I did that because I wanted some of the values changed from the default one the game uses when you just plug in ambientPlay("ambient_farm"); in yourmap.gsc All I'm doing is redefining it, so it uses my values instead of the games values. So here my map plays ambient farm, what does yours play?. You need to define here what your ambient play is, and also the correct path to the file. If you don't know, open up the multiplayer.csv and locate which ambientplay your using, and define it properly.

- Give it an alias.
- Give it the right path.
- Give it a good vol_min somewhere between 0.2 and 0.5 is good.
- Give it a masterslav number. Remember, this number does not have to be so low as so the player can't hear it at all. It can be at something like 0.3, and there it will be very quiet but at least the player can hear it while in your trigger. Up to you, you can play with this value later. I suggest just leaving it at 0.00001 for now. Everything else in your ambient alias needs to say the same as what I've got.

Moving on to your building_null alias. The only thing you need to change here is your path, and the name of your sound file. Everything else stays as I have it. Hopefully you know where sounds belong, and where they need to be placed so the game can pack them in the .FF. raw/sound/yoursoundfolder. Once your building_null alias is done, your finished in the soundalias file. Save and close.


Step 4: The Script. Funny, all along it was a simple sound script that would do the trick, and here I thought it needed to be a complicated script.
Create a new text document in raw/maps/mp and call it mp_yourmapname_building_null.gsc. Make sure you give it the file extension .gsc. Open the file and copy and paste the script below.


Code:

main() { thread ambient_null(); } ambient_null() { sound = getentarray("current", "targetname"); for (i=0; i < sound.size; i++) { sound[i] playloopsound("current"); } thread trigger_source(); } trigger_source() { trigger = getentarray ("null_sound", "targetname"); for (i=0; i<trigger.size; i++) { trigger[i] thread no_rain_sound(); } } no_rain_sound() { while(1) { self waittill("trigger", player); player playlocalsound("building_null"); wait 0.1; } }


If your curious why the script in the first Post doesn't work or what the problem with it was, view the thread below.
