Regarding the random event entity

CyonPro

Alright, I remember looking for this in the mapping guidelines a while ago, and they didn't provide me with exactly the answer I needed.

Basically, I am trying to create an effect in my map where a PA system plays one of 5 different announcements randomly, each at a specified time interval. I want to have it run this sequence continually for as long as the map is in play. I am also wondering if the random event entity can trigger .mp3 sound files or only .wav files.

Is this possible, and if so, how might I accomplish it?

I will post some of the sounds I am planning to use just so you guys have an idea of the length/size/usage of these sounds.

Sounds doable to me.  NS had a MP3 player entity and abient_generic can play WAVs.

Just set the minimum and maximum fire time to the same value, and then add in the five entities you want to trigger in the same style as adding events to a multimanager (Smartedit off, insert them in with values of 0). It will randomly choose one of them every time it fires.

Thanks Yama, that is exactly what I was looking for.
