Sounds in GTA 2 Coding

You can create sounds for your maps and even create them mid-game, such as a bank alarm during a certain mission. 

SOUND uniquename

The above command “reserves” a sound without creating it. To create it later on, add this to it: 

uniquename = CREATE_SOUND ( X , Y , Z ) soundtype playtype END

Your code could look like this: 

bankalarm01 = CREATE_SOUND ( 13.5 , 127.5 , 4.0 ) BANK_ALARM PLAY_FOREVER END

If you want, you can change the PLAY_FOREVER to PLAY_INSTANT to play it once. If you wish to add a sound right from the start, you'll need to add this code: 

SOUND uniquename = ( X , Y , Z ) soundtype playtype

And so, your code could look like this: 

SOUND prisonriot01 = ( 47.5 , 16.5 , 2.0 ) PRISON_ALARM PLAY_FOREVER
