  • garrysmod/sound/phx/explode03.wav
  • garrysmod/gamemodes/MyCoolGameMode/content/sound/phx/explode03.wav
  • garrysmod/addons/myCoolAddon/sound/phx/explode03.wav
  • garrysmod/addons/myCoolAddon/gamemodes/MyCoolGameMode/content/sound/phx/explode03.wav
sound.Add( { name = "big_explosion", channel = CHAN_STATIC, volume = 1.0, level = 80, pitch = {95, 110}, sound = "phx/explode03.wav" } )
Output: You can now play your custom sound script with Entity:EmitSound like so:
Entity( 1 ):EmitSound( "big_explosion" )
