Weird problem with playSound.

[DjSt3rios]

Hello, Im trying to make a code, when the car changes gear, play a small turbo sound, to sound more cool.

The problem is, i hear a small sound, like it begins, but it stops immediately, i can only listen a small sound for like 100MS and it stops.. I dont really understand why.. maybe someone can help me?

Codes I have so far:

in meta.xml:

"sounds/turbo.mp3" /> 

I have a folder named sounds and the file inside.

local function begin() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), begin ) 
  
gRootElement = getRootElement() 
gThisResourceName = getResourceName(getThisResource()) 
addEvent("soundTurbo", true) 
addEventHandler("soundTurbo", 
    gRootElement, 
    function() 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        song = playSound("sounds/turbo.mp3", false) 
        setSoundVolume(song,1) 
        setSoundPaused(song, false) 
    end) 
     
     
local function soundturbo() 
    triggerEvent("soundTurbo", getLocalPlayer()) 
end 
addCommandHandler("turbo", soundturbo) 

Actually, This one is made with command, not when car is changing gear, but its the same.

So, I type /turbo, and i have the problem I said before.

If someone has any idea what can cause this problem, please let me know.

Thank you!

DjSt3rios if you wana make this for the rpm+gear meter only put

playSound("sounds/turbo..mp3")

whit a a function what check last gear and the actual gear

if gear==lastgear then ...

lastgear=gear

and setTimer...

( and its for client side and teh rpm is client side ...)

Well, im not that stupid, I tried it, I didnt use triggerEvent and all this in the beginning, but its not working.. in the beginning i used only

playSound("sounds/turbo..mp3") 

But no luck..

I found that the mp3 was the problem. Although i changed mp3, and i did /redo, still was the same. But when i quitted from the server and rejoined, it was fixed.Although the mp3 which had the problem, was playing fine in Windows Media Player, but for some reason in MTA had problem. Anyway its all fixed now, thanks anyway!
