Hi (again :) )
I would like to put a juckbox in a handmade map. And i would like to make it play random songs like in the map with music but localized like mapsound.
I have already put my md3 model in place and I have tried to charge this in my map.cfg:
randomamtrack = (concatword "sounds/ambience/juckbox/" (+ 1 (rnd 31)) ".ogg")
mapsound randomamtrack
and then selected the good mapsound to my nex soundbox.
but it does't work :) because
music is dynamic whereas mapsound is static righ?
someone has a better idea to do that?

Basic rundown of the alias you defined:

1:concatword "sounds/ambience/juckbox/"
This is defining where the sounds live

2: (+ 1 (rnd 31)) ".ogg")
31 is the number of songs you have, and .ogg is the extension, so if yuo have mp3s, do .mp3

3. mapsound randomamtrack
The actual mapsound


Try this instead:

randomamtrack = (concatword "mapsound sounds/ambience/juckbox/" (+ 1 (rnd 31)) ".ogg")
randomamtrack

thx fhdshfkjconorfhsdkj
i don't understand why you tried to explain to me what i have done..I know what I was doing.
but your code will do nothing...
or explain to me..
because it will just past a randomname of a track and not a binding to a mapsound..

You'll prolly need to be in SP mode, then have (in the config):
level_trigger_1 = [randomamtrack]
Then place your model in the map using:
/newent mapmodel # 5 1
where # is the number of your model.
This will mean every time the trigger is touched it will execute /randomamtrack, which will make it play another song. I think.

at least it will change track but it will not permit me to assign my track into a sound entity ..

I would record one big .ogg file and just play them as repeating stream. It is currently not possible to play positioned sounds via random access.

Your map pack will be large by the way.

You could pull a flowtron and just teleport the guy around to exact replicas of the room (in your case, with different sounds playing in them).

I think he wants to create a multiplayer map... correct me if I am wrong.

MP or SP I don't mind
I just want to have a random track playing localized, like /music for the random but localized like mapsound. but yep I think for the moment the engine does'nt permit that..

Yea, it is only possible to play random sounds for the whole map or a fixed track(s) localized as far as I remember.
