env_sound - Point Entity

The env_sound entity is a trigger of sorts that alters the processing done on sounds heard by the player. For example, the env_sound can alter sounds to have a strong echo as though the player is in a large enclosed area. This entity is used to assist in creating a particular atmosphere in an area.

Attributes

• Radius (radius) - Sets the radius around the area to use as the trigger area. When the player enters this radius, the sound style will be turned on until it is altered by another env_sound.
• Room Type (roomtype) - Sets which sound style to use.
  • Normal (off) (0) - The default, echo-less sound style.
  • Generic (1) - A slightly more closed in sound than default.
  • Metal Small (2) - Quite similar to Generic, with slightly more ring.
  • Metal Medium (3) - As above, but with slightly longer echo.
  • Metal Large (4) - As above, but with longer echo.
  • Tunnel Small (5) - A drawn out, tinny sound.
  • Tunnel Medium (6) - As above, by with more drawn out echo.
  • Tunnel Large (7) - As above, but with a very drawn out echo.

  • Chamber Medium (9) - As above, but with slightly longer echo.
  • Chamber Large (10) - As above, but with a long echo.

Notes

• Don't forget that the sound style, once applied, is permanent until another env_sound changes it.
• The above descriptions of the sound styles are at best a rough guide. To find the right sound for your area, you may have to experiment yourself.
