Usage

LoadSound(file, streaming);


  • file String. Name of sound file.
  • streaming boolean. Will stream the file from disk instead of loading the full file into memory. Useful for cutting down loading times when you have large sound files.

Examples

var sound = LoadSound("sound_effect.ogg");
var music = LoadSound("music.ogg", true);
sound.play(); //Play the sound effect.
music.play(true); //true makes the music loop.

  • Ogg
  • WAV
  • MP3 (not in minisphere)
