precache_sound

Syntax

native precache_sound(const name[]);

Usage

Parameter Description
name
Path to the sound file

Description

Precaches a sound file.

Note

  • Can only be used inside of the plugin_precache() forward.
  • The filepath is always relative to the "sound" folder, and the file has
    to be a wav file. Precaching a file with this will add it to the engine
    sound table, making it available for usage in emit_sound() for example.
  • Precaching other filetypes (such as mp3 music), optionally in different
    locations, has to be done with precache_generic()

Return

Unique cache id of the sound

Error

If called outside of the plugin_precache() forward, an error is
thrown.
