How to add a custom sound / music?

Hi guys,

in the mission editor, how could I add custom music when the player pass at an exact location.

I see two way out of this:

- With a custom LUA trigger, if its the case how do I register the sound and play it? Let's say the file is named "music.wav" and reside at the mission root folder.

- With the flow chart ... I saw that there is a "Play Sound" but was not able to hear the sound. What format the file should be?

Could you hint me out please? Seems to be a very basic question, but the doc and example are mostly non existing online. Every step is a struggle.

 

Have to say that I am a little disappointed here. I was quite excited about BeamMG mission editing capabilities. But with no examples, no recent tutorials and not answers on the forum on such a basic functionalities points out that every step of mission edition will be a HUGE struggle. I easily wrote large missions in Digital Combat Sims (DCS), Flight Simulator 2020, Arma 3, Stormworks and even wrote a massive Minecraft mod ... first time I hit a wall like that.

 

Hi,
I have found a way to play sounds from LUA. Place a SFX-emitter with your soundfile selected (can be OGG/WAV/MP3) into your world and start it from within mainLevel.lua with the following code:

Code:

scenetree.findObject('SFXEmitter_Name'):play()

This will be not only for missions but the level itself. Maybe it can be specialized.
Hope this helps a bit ;-) (I agree BNGDocumentation is horrible (for now), but never give up!)

 

hey so i know like nothing about these things but i wanna add a custom sound to a sound emitter. could you help me with that?

 

With the flowgraph audio node:

First connect the play node to flow

Click the "o>" files field icon of the audio node and it should open the file dialogue box:



Now you can test if your audio node is working.

if audio node working then

put a copy of the sound in the user directory gameplay folder and write the full path in the file dialogue with the file extension

gameplay/audio/mySound.ogg

Your custom sound should now work with the flowgraph.

 

In your mission editor, create a trigger zone or area where you want the music to play when the player passes through it. Write LUA Script: Attach a custom LUA script to the tr
