Looping Multi_managers And Ambient Sounds

Rizzmond

due to the very good selection of ambient sounds that came with ns (and many from the original half life that fit the style) i find it nice to create a looping multimanager that plays a series of ambient_generics and target_mp3audios. It adds alot to the atmosphere of a map to hear a distant alien howl for example every now and then. I don't know if this has been brought up before but i felt like sharing <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

ns_caged (marine spawn) and lot more maps have such.
In ns_caged I dont like the anoying reload klicks as alien when we killed the base , marines relocated and i still hear reload-klicking.

ns_titan (i think) has this sounds used in RR on marine Side "follow me, this way, ... " on alien side "growl , chuckle, roarr..."
Its nice, just used too much.

-> make them "random", rare and make intelligent triggers.

I didn't think you could loop multimanagers, can you?

I figured they just put trigger relays in those places, which just get triggered over and over with a delay of around 2/3 minutes on them.

you can loop multimanagers, just make it trigger itself after everything else has been triggered and check the multithreaded flag. You can do this in certain locations, but i was talking more about an ambient_generic or target_mp3audios that playeverywhere every 120 secs or so, its actually quite nice ingame. At the begining of ns_eclipse a distant alien howl sounds which is quite nice, but with looping multimanagers you can make many more sounds everyonce and awhile quite easily

...or you could just use trigger_random.
