Sound Only Plays on SOME Sims???

[ohdarlingxx]

All right. I feel like I MUST just be missing something obvious.

I tried on a sim with full permissions (build, voice, pushing etc.) and the sound played, but while elsewhere testing my script, it did not. It's just a HUD. I just want the sound to play for me, locally. The message plays just fine, and like I said, it worked elsewhere. Is there something I should be using other than llPlaySound to get the sound to play in all sims? I really don't get what in the world is happening.

The relevant aspect of the script if you're interested, but like I said, it works, just not on all sims.

if (DDif < 50) {

                llInstantMessage( llGetOwner(), "Pay Attention.");
                llPlaySound ("whistle", 1.0);

}

 

"SOLUTION": Unfortunately, Land settings are currently able to disable HUD sounds. I will be using keyword alerts as a workaround for now, but there's no real answer here 😶

Unfortunately HUD sounds are affected by the Avatar Sounds setting in about land. JIRA: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-227962.

If you're not already using keyword alerts, that could be a useable workaround if this is only a personal project. Check your viewer settings, 'chat-> keyword alerts'.

(NB. Things you say yourself don't trigger the alerts. )

This was my fear. That makes NO sense lmao 😩 Ok thanks. I'm going to use the workaround suggested.

I was considering tossing it up on the MP bc I was making it for my escort friend and IDK others might find it useful...  BUT given land settings can affect the project, I guess I won't do that rofl. Your solution will work for my friend, tho, so ty!!
