Check and make sure you created areas equal to a, and named them spook_area_1, spook_area_2, etc until you reach spook_area_a.

Next, change file1.snt, file2.snt, etc to the proper sound files. You need cases in the switch function equal to d.

Make sure b and c are integers.

Thanks for making this, keep posting more! Big Grin

EDIT: Suggestion : Tutorial for how to after entering a level to seal and exit? I mean after loading screen you can look back on the door and let's say rocks will seal off the exit. I have seen it done in some custom stories Smile

There is a more flexible concise way to play a random sound:

Code:
void playRandomSound(string soundName, string[] sounds, string atEntity, float fadeTime, bool saveSound)

 {

  //Select a random index from the array

  int rand = RandInt(0,sounds.length()-1);

  //Play the sound at that index with the given settings

  PlaySoundAtEntity(soundName, sounds[rand], atEntity, fadeTime, saveSound);

 }

Usage could be something like:

Code:
//Idea 1:

void someFunction() 

 {

  string[] mySounds = {"Sound1.snt","Sound2.snt","randomSound.snt","Magic.snt"};

  playRandomSound("Random",mySounds,"Player",0.5f,false);

 }

//Idea 2:

string[] levelSounds = {"Sound1.snt","Sound2.snt","randomSound.snt","Magic.snt"};

void OtherCodeHere() {}

void someScriptCollisionCallback(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alStat)

 {

  playRandomSound("Random",levelSounds,asChild,0.5f,false);

 }

Void MoreCodeHere() {}

But nice list, i may have one or two neat little scripts i can dig out.

Nice Apjjm I'll toss that up on the initial post. I'll put timers so it loops too Big Grin

Very nice, sir. I didn't even know you could use playRandomSound() like that Big Grin

Toss functions like that up on the wiki if you get the time Smile
