Timed Sound Script

[Obey_]

Hey there,

So I made a sound for my server. (simple background tannoy noise whilst on board a ship) and I've been trying to look for a solution to have this sound play at random intervals or at a certain amount of time. Let's say every twenty minutes or so.

Do you have any recommendations on how I could do this?

I'm also interested in finding out if there is a way to force a bind server side to all players, or would I have to create a script

[Bull29]

local PlayNextSound = CurTime() + 500

hook.Add("Think", "Playambients", function()
      if CurTime() >= PlayNextSound then
           surface.PlaySound( linktoyourfile )
           PlayNextSound = CurTime() + math.random( 500, 2500 )
      end
end)

the numbers are in seconds.

You are not able to bind players keys as it could be done maliciously.

You're able to make your own sorta binds by grabbing key inputs and then calling a function or functions.

Ex (Client):

if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_F) then print("hello w-aids") end

See: ply:KeyPressed() for a server equivalent.

I'm sure there's other ways but I can't think of them off of the top of my head. Maybe a lua equivalent for cmd->buttons.
