How to add sound effects to objects

[ApexArcadian]

I'm building a scenario that involves alot of music and I wanted to make some speakers that played music, but all I could figure out was how to make a trigger that played music in the player's ear, not from an object.

NOTE: I am a semi-experienced coder, but I am a hardcore newbie in terms of the ArmA 3 coding/scripting language. I have basic abilities (e.g. "["params"] call BIS_fnc_Insert function to use;") but none of the advanced stuff.

playSound3D ["path\To\Sound", objectName];

ok so this is what i put in and it still didn't work:

playSound3D ["\x\alive\addons\intro\ArmA.ogg", _this];

i was trying to get a song from the Alive mod to play from a car (which was also modded). does it just not work with modded songs/object or is it a sytax thing im doing wrong here?

if that is in the objects init, then _this should just but this. remove the underscore

if that doesnt work then its possibly the path unless your 100% sure its correct lol. ive never used this command before but it shoudl work, if not then try with a default sound such as "A3\Sounds_F\sfx\blip1.wav" and see if it works

if you didnt get it by now, i would just remoteExec say3D with the sound you want to make your life easier, playSound3D is to finiky for me and you said say3D already was working. this will give the same effect as playSound3D and it should follow the object as well

[objectName, ["soundName", 125, 1]] remoteExec ["say3d", 0, true];
