q_sound

Queues a sound to play without blocking.

Syntax

q_sound SOUND_ID CHANNEL_NAME SUBTITLE_ID [VOLUME]

Arguments

Name Description
SOUND_ID The ID of the sound to queue. SOUNDS_ prefix can be omitted.
CHANNEL_NAME The name of the channel to queue the sound on
SUBTITLE_ID The ID of the subtitle to display when playing the sound with subtitles enabled, or SubtitleKeyNone. Only shown for CH_GLADOS channel.
VOLUME (optional) The volume multiplier for playback. 0 is muted and 1 is normal volume. Defaults to 1.

Notes

There are three cutscene sound channels:

  • CH_GLADOS: Intended for GLaDOS dialog. The intercom chime sound is inserted automatically, subtitles are shown (if enabled), and other sounds are dampened while this channel is playing.
  • CH_MUSIC: Intended for music. Affected by the music volume setting in the audio options menu.
  • CH_AMBIENT: Intended for test chamber ambience.

Only one sound per channel is played at a time. A channel's current sound is played in its entirety before moving on to the next one queued on a first in, first out basis.

A maximum of 25 sounds can be queued for each channel. Any queued while at the limit will be ignored.
