I'll check those problems out, and I'll add them with the next update; I've been swamped with assignments the past few weeks, but I should be able to work on it when I get home.

Please Please Please need a volume control sounds low but hearable when no one is in the server but when people are playing you cant hear it over the shots or the constant banging on it from other Engineers also needs a addon to have it play on 1 dispenser per team having 2-3 engineers setting up next to you it has multiple songs playing at once

With regards to volume, when I had sounds played via sourcemod I almost always had to manually amplify them with GoldWave or something similar before I uploaded them.

Just an update on this: I updated the source code, there should be no limit to the number of songs now, and the music starts when the dispenser is fully built.

However, the ability to make sure the song loops is really out of control of the plugin - the ponyspenser plugin has the time lengths of the songs that it has, whereas this plugin doesn't really.

Changing the volume is possible, but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that.

I think that, you should add that time option in the config file, so, if we put a time, it should loop, if not, it would work like is working right now.

You need to create a vector of handles to make the time thing work, something like this:


As a global:

new Handle:soundTimers[MAXPLAYERS+1];

This when you start the song

	EmitSoundToAll(soundArray[sound], index, SNDCHAN_USER_BASE, SNDLEVEL_NORMAL, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, SNDPITCH_NORMAL, -1, position);
	new Handle:pack;
	new clientId = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
	new client = GetClientOfUserId(clientId);
	soundTimers[client] = CreateDataTimer(soundTime[sound], LoopSound, pack);
	WritePackCell(pack, index);
	WritePackCell(pack, sound);
	WritePackCell(pack, client);

And then, the timer itself

public Action:LoopSound(Handle:timer, Handle:pack)
{
	ResetPack(pack);
	new index = ReadPackCell(pack);
	new sound = ReadPackCell(pack);
	new client = ReadPackCell(pack);
	new Float:position[3];
	GetEntPropVector(index, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position);
	EmitSoundToAll(soundArray[sound], index, SNDCHAN_USER_BASE, SNDLEVEL_NORMAL, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, SNDPITCH_NORMAL, -1, position);

	new Handle:data;
	soundTimers[client] = CreateDataTimer(soundTime[sound], LoopSound, data);
	WritePackCell(data, index);
	WritePackCell(data, sound);
	WritePackCell(pack, client);
}

And don't forget to destroy the timer and delete the handle when that player's dispenser is destroyed

	KillTimer(soundTimers[client]);
	soundTimers[client] = INVALID_HANDLE;

Also, timers have low accuracy. The smallest possible interval is 0.1 seconds. If you implement the length/loop part, you should add this tip in the first post.

Very nice plugin thanks for your work!

The issue is, the sounds themselves can be made to loop by this. I'm not sure if it's worth it to implement all of that just to get it to loop properly if the wave file wasn't marked to loop.

Not to mention, the issue that might come with having a time in the config file along with the file being marked to loop.

Oh i see, thanks! I will look into it.

is there any reason why this addon wouldn't work with HL2DM?

Are there dispensers in HL2DM?

And are they actually functioning dispensers? Not just the prop/model. If so then maybe, if not then no.
