Sound Playback

Play sounds from your scripts. Sounds originate from the screen/tablet position and respond to atmosphere — muffled in vacuum, normal in pressurized rooms.

Playing Built-In Game Sounds

-- One-shot sound
ss.play_sound(ss.sounds.LogicOnBeep)

-- With options
ss.play_sound(ss.sounds.CompletedChime, { volume = 0.5 })

-- Looping sound with explicit id
ss.play_sound(ss.sounds.LogicOn, { loop = true, id = "alarm" })

-- Announcements
ss.play_sound(ss.sounds.alerts.Warning)
ss.play_sound(ss.sounds.alerts.IntruderAlert, { loop = true, id = "intruder" })

Stopping Sounds

ss.stop_sound("alarm")       -- Stop a specific sound
ss.stop_all_sounds()          -- Stop all sounds on this device

Remote Audio

If the server has media enabled (AllowMediaPlayback = true):

ss.play_sound("https://example.com/alert.wav", {
    volume = 0.7, loop = false, id = "web_sound",
})
