Sound Problems

[ShadowCoder]

Hello me again... 

I don't know why I keep having all of these problems but heres a new one for you guys....

All I want to do is make a global sound in my map. How am I able to do this?

When I add a target_speaker in the map (not in the void) it never works.

Propertys are...

classname   taget_speaker
noise          ambientsound1.wav
origin          488 -16 -224
spawnflags   5    ( I have looped_on and global checked)

It seems it would be the right thing to do but when I start the map it never plays..... Any suggestions?

I have tried the path method and the * method.

==Path Method==
Tried this in multiple ways and files and yet couldn't get any sound

==* Method==
Did this method and I got sound but it was just a bunch of hitting sounds like a tyrant hitting the RC.

Thanks for the help. Any other methods would be helpful thanks!

Apply your sound file as a music key in the worldspawn. You'll need to tweak your sound file a bit so you don't get spammed with errors, but I have found this is the only reliable way to get a global sound.

I don't understand what you mean as putting it as a music key in the worldspawn. Do you mean make a brush and give it the sound file properties?

quick edit: I am using GTKradient 1.5.0 if this means anything.

Select any world brush (or worldspawn in entity list) and enter the music key.

Thanks alot again UsaKilleR! 

I didn't realize how much larger it would make the file! 

Another quick question while we are on the topic is how am I able to do it with just an individual sound at one point in the level? Example a pipe leak and you can hear hissing but you wont when your not in the room or far away.

Remember, the path has to be in the form of the Quake 3 filesystem, starting at base/. HINT: Don't include base/.
