How do the sounds work ? Even though there is no mistake in the script, some sounds get played, and some do not.

Eg., the line

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "23_saw2.snt", "Player", 0, false); does not work, but

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "pickaxe_hit.snt", "Player", 0, false); does work.


is there any rule in using sounds ? maybe som can not be played on " Player " ?

Any ideas ?

Moved to correct forum.
Sounds can be played on Player, that's not a problem. However, some sound files have different configurations. You can open up .snt files in any text editor to see them.

Are they in different functions? Because if so, it could be the whole function causing the issue... Post the functions (whole .hps) here?

void UseSaw(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{

SetEntityActive("Saw4", true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "23_saw2.snt", "Player", 0, false);
AddTimer("Timer1", 0.5, "Saw1");
AddTimer("Timer2", 1, "Saw2");
AddTimer("Timer3", 1.5, "Saw3");
AddTimer("Timer4", 2, "Saw4");



}

It definitely works, other commands work as they should

Did you restart Amnesia before trying it again?

3 times

Like Tanshaydar already said, these sounds are using different configurations.

pickaxe_hit:

23_saw2:

I would try changing the distance and 3D properties or just using the same configuration for both. However, there may be another way to avoid doing that.
