Ambient_generic
raw. music is the problem. Try this:
1) Create a new ambient_generic
2) Make sure the music you load is "Game Sound" not raw. It should be soundscape or something like that.
3) Go to flags, click Play Everywhere, DO NOT enable looping. The soundscape music automatically loops itself.
4) Use trigger with Output of "OnStartTouch" to play the music.
BTW: Looping music may not turn off when you want it to, however you can change it's volume to 0

I changed the music to an alarm sound and it worked, its just the music that i cant get to work. I changed the setting to gamesound but i still could not hear the music.
This seems like a good thread to ask this... Does anyone know a way to make the tick-tock sound effect loop? Or would I have to alter the raw .wav file?
Thanks for over 1,000 downloads: The Cold Shoulder
Something else I want to add: Not all sounds/music on the browse list is playable.

Yeah that's why I lined the Cave Johnson sound files wiki in case anyone wanted to know what the different files say.

The piece of music i chose was playable in the browser, i pressed the preview button and it played. Even though i can hear the preview will some files not play ingame.
Just a quick question.
What is the filename for the "when life gives you lemons speech" - by cave johnson.
and does it work ingame or is it broken. Because I hear alot of the files won't work.
You can find it here: http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Cave_Johnson_voice_lines
but it is...
cave_johnson_80s_outro_09.wav
cave_johnson_80s_outro_11.wav
that's it...

Surely someone knows how to get music to play ingame. I know its a big ask but could someone please make me a .vmf with a button in it, that whaen i press it, a piece of music plays, just to see what i am doing wrong, thanks
You have to name the sound file and the trigger for them to work. Just an FYI.
