CURSE YOU SOUND

[Golden-Death]

For monkeys sake, I've been fooling around with this for ages. No matter how I try to get a sound to play using lua, it doesnt work.
It works with 'play' in console.
It works in an old swep I made

but in this script, no matter what I try, it won't (@*# play.

Code: [Select]

function PickRandSong()
GTMSongList = _file.Find( "sound/"..GTM.SongFolder.."*.mp3" );
  GTMSongNum = table.getn(GTMSongList)
if GTMSongNum <= 3 then
local more = 4 - GTMSongNum
_PrintMessageAll(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You cant play with less than 4 songs! Add at least "..more.." more songs and try again.\n")
_PrintMessageAll(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "You cant play with less than 4 songs! Add at least "..more.." more songs and try again.\n")

return;
end

GTMSongPlayingNum = math.random(1,GTMSongNum)
_Msg("Picked: "..GTMSongPlayingNum.."\n")

_PlaySound( ""..GTM.SongFolder..GTMSongList[GTMSongPlayingNum].."\n")
_Msg( ""..GTM.SongFolder..GTMSongList[GTMSongPlayingNum].."\n")

end

Perhaps this is an engine bug, it only works in SWEPS. Not even ulx playsound works.

Are you trying to play mp3s?

Are you trying to play mp3s?

Answering for GD...

Code: [Select]

GTMSongList = _file.Find( "sound/"..GTM.SongFolder.."*.mp3" );
Yes

[Golden-Death]

Are you trying to play mp3s?

Yes, but wavs do not work either.

[Megiddo]

I've heard from many sources that MP3's don't work, but wavs work fine.

EDIT: What's the output from the _Msg() function?

[Golden-Death]

I've tried using the exact code that worked in a swep via console/this script, it doesn't play, but it works fine in the script.
And me entering:
_PlaySound("elvis.mp3") inside the swep works.

I put that exact same thing in a simple
function lol()
_PlaySound("elvis.mp3")
end

and it still doesnt work.
