Triggering Car Alarm

[Rooibos1989]

I was just wondering if there was a way to have a trigger_once activate a car alarm. I tried having the trigger's output "wake" the car alarm but It doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts/ideas on how to make this work right?
Thanks!

You assume 'car alarm' is some kind of entity?

I have never heard of it, how can you activate it if it doesn't exist? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, just make an ambient_generic, find a car alarm sound or make a custom one, make sure you have the right flags checked (ensure it loops and doesn't begin before it is triggered). Name it. Then make a trigger_once and in the outputs: onTrigger > nameOfAmbient_generic > play sound

Here's an example for you how to have 3 different car alarms on a single map. http://server2.pelipurkki.fi/~dustin...AUTO_TESTI.vmf

Each time the trigger is passed, the director will pick one of the cars. I used this on my campaign so i know it works.

why the map crashes my hammer? lol

you can even do that without the director. just a trigger with a logic_case that randomly picks a logic_relay to run a sound and other events.
