Awesome, gonna give this a go right now. Thanks Helios

Just a note. If you copy paste the test code provided in the help file:

function onEnter_triggerzone(zoneName, unitName)
{
-- OFP:destroyVehicle("vu01m1a2")
OFP: playOneShotSound ( “flashpoint2”, “exp”, “explosion”, 20734.0, 3.1, -2470.0, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0 )
}

You may see red lines under the code!

Just replace the commas ""

Must be a font issue.

yeah, in ASCII the “ and ” are different characters. and in the LUAsyntax file, it only has " which is yet another ASCII character

[T!nker]

Problem!

function onTimer_SetBoom()            
    --OFP:removeTimer("SetBoom");     
    i = math.random(1,12);                   
    chosen_boom = boom_list[i];        
    OFP:startParticleSystem(chosen_boom,1);
    OFP:setTimer("SetBoom", 9000);
end

How to apply it to random mines?

[TemplarGFX]

what do you mean sorry?

[T!nker]

When it chooses which of the 12 mines to activate, how to add sound. Thinking of

if chosen_boom = 1 then (play sound at boom 01 position)
if chosen_boom = 2 then (play sound at boom 02 position)
if chosen_boom = 3 then (play sound at boom 03 position)

etc

[TemplarGFX]

use

local x,y,z = OFP:getPosition(chosen_boom)

to get the coords to play the sound at

[T!nker]

function onTimer_SetBoom()            
    --OFP:removeTimer("SetBoom");     
    i = math.random(1,12);                   
    chosen_boom = boom_list[i];        
    OFP:startParticleSystem(chosen_boom,1);
    local x,y,z = OFP:getPosition(chosen_boom)
    OFP: playOneShotSound ( "flashpoint2", "exp", "explosion", "local x,y,z", 0.1, 0.0, 0.0 )
    OFP:setTimer("SetBoom", 9000);
end

Hmm, not working for me.

try
OFP: playOneShotSound ( "flashpoint2", "exp", "explosion", x,y,z, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0 )
