This is difficult to explain, but what I am looking for is to have ambient sounds looping specifically in certain rooms of my map, and my knowledge is a script would do this.

I thought about using a Trigger_multiple covering each room, targeting a sound, but that would result in the sounds "cutting off" as you left the room (Exactly what im aiming for is ambient wind howling throughout my map, with darker toned wind for the inside areas and more howl-y wind outside, I have ripped sounds from BO that work)
So the wind sound would need to "fade" into the different wind sounds.

EDIT: I also want a script_struct to play a looping bonfire sound when near it, don't know if this would be possible under the same script/method as this one

Im not sure how easy it will be to do something like this, but if someone could point me in the right direction of scripting this or what triggers / activation mechanism to use for the sounds I would be happy

just play it on a script or struct in that youve placed in that room

you use the sound alias to set up the distance and make it looping

Youll only hear it when you near it, within the range you set in the alias

How would I play a sound on a script_struct?

World at War already has a built in ambience system, use your map's _amb file.

Here's some more info on the subject.

In a nutshell:
You make trigger_multiples in Radiant. You then create "packages", which are just all the different sounds that can play there (Random with chosen frequency or looping) and the effects, then link them to the trigger_multiples. Everything is explained in the link.

How would I play a sound on a script_struct?

level thread playsoundon( "targetname of struct", "sound you wanna play" ); // under zombiemode::main();

playsoundon( name_of_ent, sound_to_play )
{
    ents = getEntArray( name_of_ent, "targetname" );
    for ( i = 0; i < ents.size; i++ )
    {
        ents[ i ] playloopsound( sound_to_play ); // might be playloopedsound, cant remember
    }
}

Only to prevent confusion for others, GetEntArray is on an ent, so an origin not a struct. If you use structs you would have to use playsoundatposition(sound,origin) and of course GetStructArray(name, "targetname");

But me personally, I'm gonna try what peanut posted.

and the GSC related setup....

lol whoops, explains why it didnt work at first lol

Yeah proper environmental would be better, just threw that up as a "easy alternative" as he was having trouble

Obviously this topic is outdated as I have released the map now, I went with one wind sound for whole map just on a struct as 2D sound
BUT
This topic I will keep as my next map I plan to use environmental sound extensively, so all this info will prove useful to me    As well as helping anyone else who might have similar issues

If the sound is 2d, does that not mean "everyone" will hear it? Regardless of where they are

If the sound is 2d, does that not mean "everyone" will hear it? Regardless of where they are

Yes

lol well it works fine on solo then lol

however on Co-op it serves a completely different purpose lol, more like proximity triggered worldwide sounds lol 

Well as I used it for my map, 2D is perfect, for the wind to just be in the background for all players, but yeah proper 3D sounds and the environmental audio system will obviously get the job done for area specific sounds

Its not perfect bro, having a location for them is completely irrelevent, i thought you wanted this for "certain areas only?"

you could just add "play looped sound" on boot up, no need for the structs and stuff as the sound will be heard by everyone, from anywhere anyway
