How can i make it so a client has to download a sound? Or any other file?
Thanks.

Yes agreed. im trying to figure this out too. but not just sounds. models and materials and lua also

Try Coding a lua download list. Make it so when player joins, downloads speciffic files to a speciffic location.

You have to use LUA to do this.

In the garrysmod/garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/ folder, create a new file called something.lua
Open the file and add in this code:
[lua]resource.AddFile("file path here")[/lua]

*Note that the file something.lua can be named anything you want.

So it would be
resource.AddFile(orangebox/garrysmod/sound/siren.mp3?

[chargers2960]

Can i Have multiple Addfile Downloads in one Lua document? And Since its dedicatd, do i need to include the Ftp Address?

So it would be (Ftp Address)/orangebox/garrysmod/sound/siren.mp3

[compwhizii]

Yes you can have multiple lines in one doc. Don't inlude the FTP address. just the sound/siren.mp3

Oh ok so its would just be
resource.AddFile(sound/siren.mp3)?

[compwhizii]

yes.

[ecabc]

No it would be
[lua]resource.AddFile("sound/siren.mp3")[/lua]

[QUOTE=ecabc;16552053]No it would be
