Here are two siren sounds I'm using in a mission I'm working on. I have them looped in a script, so that the sound files don't have to be very big. I've included a simple script to do just that. You'll have to config the sounds in description.ext to work it, though. Nice thing about the script is that you give it a vehicle to play the sound from, so the farther away the vehicle is, the quieter the siren is.

Here you go -

_object = _this select 0
logic2 setdammage 0

; colours

_left = [1,0.2,0.05,1]
_left2 = [0.4,0.4,0.05,1]
;_left2 = [0,0.7,0.9,1]
#loop
~0.01
drop ["obrysove svetlo", "", "Billboard", 1, 0.1, [0,0.5,0], [0, 1, 0], 1, 0.9, 1.1, 1, [1, 1],[_left,_left2],[0],0,0,"","",_object]
? (Not(Alive _object)): exit
goto "loop"

thx, it works.

But why that logic2 setdammage 0 line?

Why do I need a gamelogic? (I guess) ...cos it works without it?!
