Returns
Example
Play a sound everywhere, similar to surface.PlaySound but available clientside and serverside.
local LoadedSounds
if CLIENT then
LoadedSounds = {} -- this table caches existing CSoundPatches
end
local function ReadSound( FileName )
local sound
local filter
if SERVER then
filter = RecipientFilter()
filter:AddAllPlayers()
end
if SERVER or !LoadedSounds[FileName] then
-- The sound is always re-created serverside because of the RecipientFilter.
sound = CreateSound( game.GetWorld(), FileName, filter ) -- create the new sound, parented to the worldspawn (which always exists)
if sound then
sound:SetSoundLevel( 0 ) -- play everywhere
if CLIENT then
LoadedSounds[FileName] = { sound, filter } -- cache the CSoundPatch
end
end
else
sound = LoadedSounds[FileName][1]
filter = LoadedSounds[FileName][2]
end
if sound then
if CLIENT then
sound:Stop() -- it won't play again otherwise
end
sound:Play()
end
return sound -- useful if you want to stop the sound yourself
end
-- When we are ready, we play the sound:
