Ambient Sound

The Ambient Sound actor sets the background ambience for your map.

How it works

The actor you place is a placeholder. The game swaps it for the real ambient sound system when the map loads.

Placement

• Place exactly one Ambient Sound actor in the level.
• Its position does not matter because the ambience follows the player.
• Placing more than one will not create zones; it will just double the volume. VHMap's diagnostics will warn you if there are extras.

Properties

• Ambient Type - choose the mood for your map:
  • Wind - Open Air
  • Wind - City
  • Wind - Pipes & Vents
  • Wind - Indoor / Muffled
  • Sewers
  • Conapt Interior
• Position Offset - shifts the sound relative to the player. Leave at zero unless you want it above or below the listener.

Notes

• The Custom option plays nothing. Use one of the named ambience types.
