Soooooo, sound effects?

[Skemech]

I'm well attuned to dragging a MP3 file into slade and renaming the MP3 to (for ex;) "D_RUNNIN", then using ACS to type sum along the lines of...

 

=============================================

 

Script 1 (void)

{

        Setmusic ("D_RUNNIN", 0);

}

 

==============================================

 

But say hypothetically in game you approach a boombox on the ground and it's playing like a static sound effect (on loop), while at the same time D_RUNNIN is playing in the background... how would I go about doing this?

I would place a map spot on the boombox and use PlaySound() with looping set to true. Make sure the sound is defined in SNDINFO.

a "map spot", is that under "things" category?

[The DANDY Company]

What source port are you using? In GZDoom, it’s under the ZDoom folder in UDB. 

[Skemech]

UDMF

UDMF is the map format. The source port would be something like GZDoom, Zandronum, Eternity, etc.

 

Anyway, if you’re using GZDoom, map spot is a thing under the “ZDoom” category. If you’re not using GZDoom, then I’m not sure because I don’t use anything else.

sorry still new to doom in general. GZDoom is the source port I'm using. Thank you I'll update this forem if I run into any other issues which is likely to happen

so I found map spot in the things category, but idk how SNDINFO works very well, like at all if I'm being honest.
