Basically I want to add custom Thunder sounds, and id need them to randomly play every 30-90 seconds.

The randomly choosing the sound, and everyone being able to hear it I can do all through soundalias, would just need to know how to play a sound randomly throughout the game?
Anyone could help?

He said 2D sound, he don't need the players part does he? He can just play it anywhere, 3D would need the players part, or could playlocalsound

Should work, if it is a 2d sound. Or from any ent, I guess

They both work, thanks a lot!
But my sound isn't working right, im using the same alias for multiple sounds, do you think I did it right?

Alias:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thunder_rumble,,SFX/thunder/thunder_##,,1,1,,,6,oldest,,,rfl_1st,,,,,,,,,,2d,,,,0.75,,,,,,,wpn_all,,,,,,,,,,,,90,90,0.25,1,,

Sound files are in that place, named thunder_00 to thunder_07
Exported as unsigned 8 bit PCM WAV files. Mono sound too.

Script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

play_thunder()
{
while(1)
{
     players = get_players();

     for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
         players[i] playsound("thunder_rumble");
	 iPrintLn( "Thunder test working" );

     wait randomintrange( 30, 91 );	
}

Also do PlayLocalSound rather than PlaySound

PlayLocalSound plays a sound specifically for a player.
When you use PlaySound on a 2D element it plays on every player.

stuffy mentioned to me a bunch of times, sometimes 8bit just wont work, for apparently no reason

try reconverting as 16

and have you tried playing the sound some other way to check it "is" working, and just not working in this function?
