Where can I find a step-by-step tutorial for soundscapes

[HQDefault]

Every video tutorial I've seen just said: "Oh, soundscapes are so useful, just type the thing in"
For some reason, the soundscapes don't play, and I can't figure out why. The valve page on soundscapes does it terribly, and it just makes my head hurt by looking at it. How do soundscapes work? Where can I find something that teaches me properly?

I learned them by analizing game's official soundscapes.

That was suprisingly helpful. I'm gonna try something.

It didn't work. Even when I set everything to be exactly the same.

Make sure you don't have a leak in the map. The compiler likes to delete entities when it leaks.

which game?

for Alien Swarm I needed to have a file
scripts/soundscapes_extermination01port.txt
for this map map to work in it
maps/extermination01port.bsp

That didn't help at all. It now just says that my selected wave files are missing from disc, only they're in the same folder as the soundscape script.

And on that note, while when putting the soundscript through the command, it does play the echo, but for some reason, the entity doesn't do anything.

Your wave files need to be in subfolders of the sound folder for the game to find them.

For the entity not activating in-game, does it show up with soundscape_debug 1 set?
