Well title n stuff explains it. Would be cool if TT would fix it making it work in SSGM/Multiplay? Dunno if this is the right place to put this topic. So this would actually be sent to the object: CUSTOM_EVENT_SOUND_ENDED.

I assume this is the right way to do it:

int SoundID = Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("grunt_grunt.wav");
Commands->Monitor_Sound(obj, SoundID);
(obj = script owner)

and then in Custom event do something on CUSTOM_EVENT_SOUND_ENDED.

But it doesnt seem to trigger the Custom nor the Action_Complete any time.

It might not work with WAV, try it with a preset instead, if that doesn't work then I'm unsure if it works at all.

It'll probably turn out that create_sound actually returns an sound object or something.

Then the big question remains why do all the commands that create a certain sound return an int?

That is a good question, and probably has something to do with what you seek (Monitor_Sound). I would presume if it's an int, it could be some sort of id for that particular sound (maybe per actual sound object, and not per possible sound that can be played).

Hehe to report to you I'm CERTAIN that it needs an ID becouse I'm currently decompiling several Westwood scripts and they use the Commands->Monitor_Sound aswell. they take that int that comes from creating the sound. Then they wait for the custom CUSTOM_EVENT_SOUND_ENDED. but that does not appear to work in mp

The value you pass to Monitor_Sound needs to be a value returned from a command like Create_Sound or Create_2D_Sound.

CUSTOM_EVENT_SOUND_ENDED is definatly the right way to listen for it. Note that if the sound loops, you do NOT get the message.

Like I said I did all of the above, non-looping and it just will not send ANY custom.

EDIT: I completly decompiled M00_BuildSound_Controller, does not work the way it should.

EDIT2: Why doesn't "grunt_grunt.wav" work then? Or however that .wav was called. It isn't a looping sound.
