To play announcement messages to players I've made use of the SendAudio
HUD message, although there are a few tweaks needed to enable it:
In hud.cpp find
#ifdef CSTRIKE_DLL
DECLARE_MESSAGE(gHUD, SendAudio);
#endif
and comment out the #ifdef and #endif, do the same for
#ifdef CSTRIKE_DLL
HOOK_HUD_MESSAGE( gHUD, SendAudio );
#endif
In hl2_usermessages.cpp register a new message:
usermessages->Register( "SendAudio", -1 );
Once that's done you should be able to call it with something like this:
CRecipientFilter filter;
filter.AddAllPlayers();
filter.MakeReliable();
//send announcement to play
UserMessageBegin( filter, "SendAudio" );
WRITE_STRING( "Your.Sound" );
MessageEnd();
Then you just need to make sure you have your sound setup in
scripts\game_sounds.txt
You can also use CBroadcastRecipientFilter to send to all players or
filter.AddRecipientsByTeam() to add a specific team.
This was on the Orange Box SDK, but I'm fairly sure that EP1 SDK is
similar. No idea if it's suitable for what you want to use it for, might
be better to look at doing it on the client as it's a regular occurence,
and should be predictable anyway.
