you need to create a sound variable in the sound editor (by selecting a sound and using it), then in a trigger that runs at map initialization play that sound.

That would be cool, except I think he's saying that he wants a sound to play as the map's loading screen comes up, which I believe is impossible (I've never seen it done before).

Well, the background music plays when loading screen comes up.
So it may be possible to manipulate it somehow.
Or maybe not.

In that case, it might just require overwriting one the sound file that corresponds to sound that plays when the map finishes loading?

Problem would be there isnt a sound that plays when you finish loading :]
(Or so i believe.)

You are able to play a sound or music when the bar reaches 100%.

All you need to do is play a sound/music at Map Intialization.

i am sorry everybody. but i hav found out that you can only play .MP3's at the Loading Screen once it reaches 100% ONLY, and you have to let the .MP3Sound File Loop until game starts, and you have to set the Sound File as a Sound in the Sound Editor.

It sucks..

well this is quite expected. As animated loading screen have the same issue.



Let the sound loop? you mean the sound must be a looping sound?


setting the sound and a sound.. no big issue. if you want to play a sound rather than music.
