Adding ambient Sounds to a Prim

I've got some audio files I downloaded that I want to add to some objects to create ambient sounds around my parcel.

I've identified that I need the llLoopSound() function but have no idea how to create the script around it to set it off.

It's probably mindnumbingly easy but I cant even work out which event I need to put it into.

Some pointers would be great.

I don't have the code handy but it is maddeningly easy. You should be able to find full source in the WIKI with a two minute search - and I just remembered it may also be in your library already with the water textures and assorted. Search your inventory for play or song or sound.

Already searched the WIKI for over 45 minutes and I'm still no closer. Seems like it's one of those things that is so obvious it isn't mentioned (or I'm so blind and missed it)

Had a quick check of the Library but didn't notice anythnig obvious... Looking further

Found something called "Waterfall scripts and Sounds" with a sound file and a script containing llLoopSound function...

default
{
state_entry()
{
llLoopSound(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, 0), 1);
}
}

but guess what... It doesn't work.

Had already tried....

default
{
state_entry()
{
llLoopSound("mysound",1.0);
}
}


myself but that didn't work.

Here is a script that will play a random sound from the objects inventory every 60 seconds, or when the object is touched. Should be easily adapted for your purposes.

Remeber that you will need to convert you audio files into the proper format before uploading them to SL. http://secondlife.com/knowledgebase/article.php?id=142

float SoundVolume = 0.5; // between 0 and 1.0
float TimeDelay = 60;  // seconds between sounds

integer NumberOfSounds;
string CurrentSound;
integer RandomSoundNum;


PlayRandomSound()
{
    RandomSoundNum = (integer)llFrand( NumberOfSounds );
    CurrentSound = llGetInventoryName( INVENTORY_SOUND, RandomSoundNum );
    llPlaySound( CurrentSound, SoundVolume );   
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        NumberOfSounds = llGetInventoryNumber( INVENTORY_SOUND) ;
        llSetTimerEvent( TimeDelay ); 
    }    
    
    touch_start( integer total_number )
    {
        PlayRandomSound();
    }
    
    timer()
    
    {
        PlayRandomSound(); 
    }
}

Many thanks! it works great!!!!!!
