Ambients

[Mapster]

I carn't get my ambient entitys to project sound... they just don't project anything... give me any errors, stuff up my map or anything... i have no idea what to do to make the sound work... i have added in a sound and unticked the 3 flags in the flags box...

What do i do?

It is my observation that some sounds only work when the ambient is set up properly. Try firing the ambient with a StartSound (or whatever) input, then try different combinations of the "Is NOT Looped" and "Start Silent" flags. Also, try to use the direct WAV name instead of the GameSound entry for official sounds; this seems to correct many problems. If it's a custom sound, it may be in the wrong WAV compression format, or you may not have built it properly for looping (it needs cue points, or something; you can add these with Goldwave according to the VERC).

I have the same problem, tried all sorts of things, still can't get it to work.
