Function Send.Sound

[Some parrot]

I made some script for anyway event. So i wanna put some sound effect as broadcast for all player, when trigger has been activated. so this code

Hook.Add( "Som", "SomeSent", function( ply, text )
    if ply:IsAdmin then
        local command = string.Explode( " ", text )
        if string.lower(command[1]) == Event then
            net.Start( "SomeSent" )
                net.WriteString(Some )
                net.WriteString( someMessage )
                net.WriteInt( BACKGROUND_ENABLED, 7 )
                net.WriteInt( timeInSeconds, 7 )
            net.Broadcast()
            end
        end
    end
end )

so, from another theme facepunch i found
function SendSound(str,ply) -- SendSound("path/to/sound/wav") If you don't give it a player, it will be send to everyone
net.Start("SendSound") -- Set the net to use our new network
net.WriteString(str) -- Write the sound inside it
if type(ply)=="Player" then -- If we got a player ..
net.Send(ply) -- .. send it to him only
else -- No player? ..
net.Broadcast() -- .. send it to everyone
end
end
How this code put in my code on server side?
this can be right?
util.AddNetworkString("SendSound")

Hook.Add( "Som", "SomeSent", function( ply, text )
    if ply:IsAdmin then
        local command = string.Explode( " ", text )
        if string.lower(command[1]) == Event then
function SendSound("somewherepath/1.wav")(str,ply)
            net.Start( "SomeSent" )
net.Start("SendSound")
net.WriteString(str)
                net.WriteString(Some )
                net.WriteString( someMessage )
                net.WriteInt( BACKGROUND_ENABLED, 7 )
                net.WriteInt( timeInSeconds, 7 )
            net.Broadcast()
            end
        end
    end
end )

Why... why are you running two net.Starts, your not even running your SendSound, your send sound function aint even right.
And you are running a hook that doesn't exist.

Here's a tip, don't use a hook.
Secondly, what is this...
function SendSound("somewherepath/1.wav")(str,ply) -- creates function and breaks it lol

SendSound( "somewherepath/1.wav", ply ) -- runs function

But remember, the hook either has to be called... or u use a function to run it, otherwise doesn't do shit.

Where have you defined Event variable, where have you defined timeInSeconds variable, where have you defined someMessage, where have you defined str, where have you defined Some.

Hook.Add( "Som"
Som? That hook isnt even a think. With hook.add your not creating a hook, you know that?

net.Start( "SomeSent" )
net.Start("SendSound")
net.WriteString(str)
net.WriteString(Some )
net.WriteString( someMessage )
net.WriteInt( BACKGROUND_ENABLED, 7 )
net.WriteInt( timeInSeconds, 7 )
net.Broadcast()

like Superior said, you start 2 net messages, and broadcast only one of it. And the second? Starts and never see its end?

[Some parrot]

yea, for this place, some little changes and hook is not hook is not possible really, one have to a hard time for a very long time to have it an one little not this permetre to sell her(it) or give her (it)... but btw... i asking how two starts made it and not brooking game and anyway mind

[Superior Jacob]

Firstly, I did not understand a single thing you just wrote.
Secondly, gmod wiki is right there with many examples you can follow my friend, no hard feelings <3

[Trackster]

....what?

[Some parrot]

okay, if dont use net sound start and paste one fuction, like this
SendSound( "somewherepath/1.wav", ply )
it can be worked right?
then just usable this?
util.AddNetworkString("SendSound")

Hook.Add( "Som", "SomeSent", function( ply, text )
if ply:IsAdmin then
local command = string.Explode( " ", text )
if string.lower(command[1]) == Event then
net.Start( "SomeSent" )
SendSound( "somewherepath/1.wav", ply )
net.WriteString(Some )
net.WriteString( someMessage )
net.WriteInt( BACKGROUND_ENABLED, 7 )
net.WriteInt( timeInSeconds, 7 )
net.Broadcast()
end
end
end
end )

your english is.....almost impossible to read..

you cant just do

Hook.Add("Som"

there is no hook that exists with this name.

[Some parrot]

u think? Actualy it can be example at random name hook without full code... just wanna know how together made two net.Starts - one is Send.Sound and possible like this?

[Trackster]

..i dont understand any word..all i can say is, using the hook "Som" wont work. whatever code you put in there, it NEVER will execute. you need to use a hook that exists, and runs at the condition that you need it for.

[Some parrot]

Anyway is random name... Why? I love random names. After i will be changed at normal hook name PlayerSay
just in case, sry

[Trackster]

random names wont make things work or help you in the programming in world. If you program, you always need to spell everything perfectly, no typos. and no random names

[Superior Jacob]

Kinda like what Trackster said, but your issue is the fact the hook name doesn't exist in garry's mod lua, you have to make it yourself.
Also, when calling your sound function, it runs net.Start twice... go on gmod wiki, read over it, then come back. It will seriously help you, search up the function uses.

You have everything wrong tbh.

Please learn about:
OOP
Hook Library
Programming in Lua
Programming in Lua 2

Also you can use this (almost the same):
if ply then net.Send(ply) else net.Broadcast() end

What is BACKGROUND_ENABLED and Event?

.
If I understand you correctly you want to play sound on client/clients.

You can make an net message that transmits soundpath to clients and put it into surface.PlaySound
