Talk:Trigger soundscape
About the recently added warning
Recently a warning was added, stating that trigger_soundscape entities might break all triggers on the map in some unknown circumstance.
However, after looking at Qdude's vmf (the map that was supposedly broken) and compiling it numerous times, nothing seemed to be broken at all. My own triggers that i had added and other soundscape triggers worked as intended.
Even when I created new a test map with every single entity of l4d2 inside the trigger_soundscape volume, I still could not replicate broken triggers.
So i think its fair to say that whatever problem existed on that map, it was probably not the trigger_soundscape.
So i'm going to remove the warning.

The 'Soundscape' name
Should the 'Soundscape' name be changed to 'Soundscape Target Name' so there's no risk of confusion? or am i sounding stupid. --N0one (talk) 06:42, 27 January 2024 (PST)
- Why is this necessary if it is already indicated next to this <target name>
-NOUG4AT (talk) 06:55, 27 January 2024 (PST)- When in hammer it only says Soundscape, i had to help someone because they were stuck for 10 hours because they couldn't figure out why their custom soundscape wouldn't work. They thought the 'soundscape' was for the actual soundscape name, instead of target name. --N0one (talk) 15:52, 27 January 2024 (PST)
- That's more of an issue of the FGD entry. Assuming that person checked this page the risk of confusion already talks about it so he would know. And to be clear I am not for or against changing the `Soundscape` to `Soundscape Target Name` on this page but don't really see it as neccessary. Maybe adding FGD edit section where that entry is edited would be good to do Nescius (talk) 16:17, 27 January 2024 (PST)
