Spring RTS Engine

How cool would it be to add a airraid siren to this thing?
With some code so it plays when covered airspace is entered by an enemy plane. It would get noisy, but maybe the code can handle excess too.

The airraid siren sound is a little evil and it will stress you out, may add to the spring war drama.

... or just be one more annoying sound that the engine would call.

You can make an air-raid siren reeeeeeally easily. Just have a "weapon" that makes that sound, attach it to your AAA, and when bad guys come into "range" of the weapon, then the sound could play.

Personally, though, I think this would just be incredibly annoying, like the unit "acknowledge" sounds are.

That could be added to the radar tower script or the Radar.dll helper AI. Although doing it script-wise can be CPU intensive.

I was considering this for a small mod project but quickly scrapped the idea. Annoying as hell!

This sound is cool, but at same time a PinA , the intermediate solution I found years ago for the TA-BattleFleet (TA) and Spring are to utilize this only in the airplants and big airpads, and it sounds realistic .

people would just build loads + loads of these near the enemy defence line in big clumps, so when that player tries to look and and build on the line THEIR HEADPHONES BLARE OUT UNBEARABLE SCREECHING NOISE! causing them to suffer internal organ damage and throw their headphones off screaming, gaining the offedning player valuable time where the opposing player is clutching their ears.

just like when the US army used rock music as a pschological weapon; this ones for elvis!
