A trick that you may use to make it seem that a tram is moving by with a sound... It cant be like a song, but you may make A BUNCH OF CORNERS, with ambient_generics at each one. As the tram goes, it runs over each corner activating an ambient_generic. As it moves to the next corner, it hits a multi_manager which turns off the last ambient, and turns on a new one. You would keep the sound radius to like small or medium. It cant be like a song, because that would just keep goin.. But if you can find a VERY short ambient sound, that has about the time between your corners, than that would work.. (if you try, and it suck, dont blame me.. I was just thinking "out there")

If you have a major sound editting program, this effect can be achieved with one ambient generic, and a looped sound with doppler shifts applied to it.

Erm. Func_trains emit sounds themselves.
Why Would you want to use ambient_generics for this effect then?
Just to have a different move sound?

I suppose. You could have different effects on that sound too. Or you could always make one huge wave file with all effects in it. That wouldn't require the ambient_generics.

I know a train emits a sound... Its to maybe have the tram lady talking while the thing goes by you....... Well, answer says.. DING! more than its worth!!............. Dont use it (or try it) unless you really want to..

Err, so the point of this thread in a Mapping Questions Forum is?

i gues he wanted to know if it was worth it, but he really didn't think it through
if i wanted to do this i'd just use a similar sound to teh ones used in train and backalley (CS), they have cars and train and planes going past at certain intervals, teh wav is just a specified sound, that starts quiet, gets loud, goes quiet again. all those ambient generics could get confusing.
