Make a Radio?

[Nicklan]

Could you please tell me how to make a radio that makes only if youre near it.Like the radio in Portal or Cs_office.
Please??

Ambient_generic parented to a prop_physics. Make the ambient_generic have a fade-out range. Make it loop. Done.

[LosttoLauren]

Or use the 'source entity' keyvalue and select the radio

I made the simplest one I could for you, but I won't be able to get you a upload link for a while. Really busy atm.

1. place an ambient_generic next to your radio, give it a name.('sound01' for example)
Select the sound you wish to use. Go to Flags and uncheck 'is not looped'.
2. place a 'logic_auto', go to outputs:
'OnMapSpawn'
'sound01'
'PlaySound'

I hope that works for you.

Or you could just check the "start on" flag...

And you should give your radio a name like "radio" and write your radios name in "source entity name" in the ambient_generic options, that way it will always play from the radio even if you move it around.

I want the sound to come out of the prop wherever I take the prop.

[Shoar]

parent it then

[Nicklan]

Theres no parent option in the ambient generic.

[SnakeFace]

Use the 'source entity name' keyvalue. Enter the name of your prop.
