I did originally, but I purchased it. I downloaded it from the frictional games store.

Oh ok, could you please explain what you want done exactly? And why it is not working (Sorry, but I feel very lost in this thread xD)

Just place the sound in the level editor next to the clock?

OnStart:
Code:
AddTimer("", 29.11f, "StartClock");function:
Code:
void StartClock(string &in asTimer) {
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "big_clock_loop.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);
}So now its reversed. The sound that was working is no longer working, and the sound that wasn't working, is now working. Is where something wrong with my script function?
Maybe instead of using PlaySoundAtEntity, I can make a sound in the editor active through the script, and have it inactive in the editor?

Maybe you can save it as music and use PlayMusic?(01-13-2012, 05:48 AM)flamez3 Wrote: Just place the sound in the level editor next to the clock?I've actually just thought this through a little more, and decided to play the chime at the beginning by doing what you suggested: I replaced my loop sound that's in the editor with the chime, and added a timer to play the loop after the chime finishes.

I don't want to say you're wrong, but there's an "active" checkbox in the sound properties. Wouldn't leaving this box unchecked deactivate the sound? I don't want to go looking for other solutions without first finding the problem.

No, it doesn't work; I have tried this before in my earlier CS and it didn't work for me.
Maybe re-making the sound again?

Where is the sound file located (sorry if I asked this before :3)
