Using EmitSound Clientside

[Semajnad]

Hello, I'm using the following to emit a heartbeat noise clientside:

function drawBlood()
	if LocalPlayer():Health() < 50 then 
		if bloodActive == false then
			bloodBorder = vgui.Create( "DImage" )
			bloodBorder:SetImage( "blood1.png" )
			bloodBorder:SetSize( ScrW(), ScrH() )
			bloodBorder:SetAlpha( 127 )
			bloodActive = true
		end 
		LocalPlayer():EmitSound( "heartbeatmp3.mp3", 500, 100 )
	end
end

And then server side I use:

resource.AddFile( "sounds/heartbeatmp3.mp3" )

However when it runs I get:

Stream Failed error 41
Failed to load sound "heartbeatmp3.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository

I've used sounds before so I have no idea why this isn't working, unless I'm doing something really stupid. My file structure is:

garrysmod/addons/sgn_lowhealthnotifier/sounds/heartbeatmp3.mp3

[B]EDIT: I do download the file when connecting, and when I go clientside to garrysmod/download/sounds/heartbeatmp3.mp3 it is there.[/B]

Oh wait, is it meant to be sound?

Nope, if I change it all to sound/ it still gives me the same error:
Failed to load sound "heartbeatmp3.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository
Create Stream Failed error 41

It should be sound, not sounds, as the name of the directory that holds the sound files.

I edited my post a minute ago, but thanks. I've just tried sound and it still gives the same error.

[ShadowRanger]

Try this:
[lua]
resource.AddSingleFile( "sound/heartbeatmp3.mp3" )
util.PrecacheSound( "heartbeatmp3.mp3" )
[/lua]

Thanks, but same thing:

Try running [lua]
file.Exists("sound/heartbeatmp3.mp3", "GAME")
[/lua]

To see if it really does exist.

[Semajnad]

I tried that, and it does: Here is my startup log:

Sorry, code tags not working.

[AnonTakesOver]

Check it on the client.

[Semajnad]

Ah okay, will do.

[QUOTE=AnonTakesOver;44950602]Check it on the client.[/QUOTE]

[editline]30th May 2014[/editline]

Still prints that it's found it clientside:

[The Android1]

Did you copy the sound folder from the addon to the root /garrysmod directory. AFAIK, they can't be in the addons folder to be downloaded, they have to be in the actual GMod folder with a FastDL.

Surely not? As the addons sound directory is like an extension to the root sound directory?
Looking in the root sound directory now I do see .ztmp version of my files which have been generated somehow.

Anyway my file does get downloaded, as I have checked my clientside download/sound directory and it is in there. But it's just not finding it when needing to play it.

[editline]30th May 2014[/editline]

Even putting it in the root sound directory I still get the error :/

[B][editline]30th May 2014[/editline]

Found the issue, LocalPlayer():EmitSound( "/heartbeatmp3.mp3", 500, 100 )

Forgot the backslash at the start of the file-name.[/B]
