What is wrong with this?

[Fatman55]

I am trying to make artillery shells, but I can not get the sound to play correctly.

-- Artillery Sounds
    fallSound = "thrusters/rocket04.wav"
    self.Artlrysound = CreateSound( self, fallSound);
    self.Artlrysound:Play();
    self.Artlrysound:SetSoundLevel(0.25);

The problems are:
1. Only 1 shell can be playing the sound at a time.
2. Sometimes the sound stays.
3. It is not near loud enough, I tried SetSoundLevel, but it did not work.

Bump due to 45 views and not 1 reply,
This has to be one of the most annoying problems I have ever had.

You are not showing the code that theres problem with, and you also didnt read the wiki page. use EmitSound. Please dont bump every 13 hours, nobody probbably posts becuse you dont give enough code

It is the PewPew base bullet & that code and a stop sound function is all I have added.
Also, I read that CSoundpatch is for looping, tell me if I am wrong please.

[quote=Wiki]The same sound file cannot be used twice for the same entity - only the latest instance will play.[/quote]

and for the sound staying your not calling Stop propperly

ENT:OnRemove
self.Artlrysound:Stop()
end

So, what can I do?

[Lily]

If theres already a sound playing it wont stop the sound. do this:

-- Artillery Sounds
    fallSound = "thrusters/rocket04.wav"
    if self.Artlrysound then self.Artlrysound:Stop() end
    self.Artlrysound = CreateSound( self, fallSound);
    self.Artlrysound:Play();
    self.Artlrysound:SetSoundLevel(0.25);

How does that work, I'm new to Lua.

[editline]06:31PM[/editline]

All that did was make it unspawnable, also I guess I should note that I am putting it in Ent:Initialize

[Lily]

Gah i though you put it in another function, you really need to show us your code or we will be blind helping you

[h4rDm0d]

doesnt it only play mp3?

[Fatman55]

What I am trying to do is make the PewPew artillery play a looping sound, similar to COD5's artillery.
And I have not put in the code to make only artillery play it yet.

A more descriptive thread title will get you more help. I'm gonna get rated dumb for this but I won't help you as a matter of principle. Name threads properly!

You are just mean.
But I guess it is my fault.

You are just mean?

He really isn't, your thread title does need to be more descriptive, people aren't coming in here because they can't see what the thread is about from the title.

[Fatman55]

Yes well, I can't change it now...

[Sphinxa279]

I understand that completely mate, I was merely stating.

I don't know if it'll help at all but shouldn't your ENT:OnRemove have brackets - ENT:OnRemove()

It didn't work.
