Description

Description:
Unit or object will say given sound in 3D Space. This allows broadcasting of positional music or sound from a source, without having to script a fade sound or music command. Compare this with say2D which will always play a sound at the location of the player after he has been in the vicinity of a broadcasting sound. Sound is defined in "CfgSounds" of the Description.ext or main config.
ⓘ
You can stop say3D sound currently playing in 2 ways:
Problems:
For some unknown reason if at the moment of command execution the player is in first person view and is inside a vehicle, the sound created is greatly attenuated.
Groups:
Broken CommandsSounds

Syntax 1

Syntax:
from say3D sound
Parameters:
from: Object - origin of the sound
sound: String - classname of the sound to be played. Defined in CfgSounds including Description.ext
Return Value:
Nothing, Template:Since Object

Syntax 2

Syntax:
from say3D [sound, maxDistance, pitch, isSpeech, offset]
Parameters:
from: Object - origin of the sound
sound: String - classname of the sound to be played. Defined in CfgSounds including Description.ext
maxDistance: Number - (Optional, default 100) max distance in meter at which the sound can be heard.
pitch: Number - (Optional, default 1) pitch of the sound.
isSpeech: Boolean - play as speech through radio channel, fadeSpeech applies. If true, filters are not applied to it (i.e. house or vehicle interior one). Available since 1.91.145286
offset: Scalar - (Optional) Offset in seconds. Same with playMusic. Default: 0 Template:Since
Return Value:
Nothing, Template:Since Object

Syntax 3

Syntax:
[from, to] say3D sound
Parameters:
from: Object - origin of the sound
to: Object - target
sound: String - classname of the sound to be played. Defined in CfgSounds including Description.ext
Return Value:
Nothing, Template:Since Object

Syntax 4

Syntax:
[from, to] say3D [sound, maxDistance, pitch, isSpeech, offset]
Parameters:
from: Object - origin of the sound
to: Object - target
sound: String - classname of the sound to be played. Defined in CfgSounds including Description.ext
maxDistance: Number - (Optional, default 100) max distance in meter at which the sound can be heard.
pitch: Number - (Optional, default 1) pitch of the sound.
isSpeech: Boolean - play as speech through radio channel, fadeSpeech applies. If true, filters are not applied to it (i.e. house or vehicle interior one). Available since 1.91.145286
offset: Scalar - (Optional) Offset in seconds. Same with playMusic. Default: 0 Template:Since
Return Value:
Nothing, Template:Since Object

Examples

Example 1:
helicopter1 say3D "Fortunateson"
Example 2:
Workaround for dead bodies: private _dummy = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal ASLToAGL getPosWorld _corpse; _dummy say3D "whatever"; _dummy spawn { sleep 5; // at least the length of your sound deleteVehicle _this; };

The only difference with this command and say is during cutscenes (when some camera effect is active). In cutscenes, say3D is 3D, say is not.

In Arma 2 1.63, the object this command is assigned to must be alive for the sound to broadcast. If the object is killed while the sound is still playing, the sound will stop immediately.
Here is a link to the forum to get around this issue: [1]
I have not tested this in Arma 3 yet.

This command creates sound object "#soundonvehicle" which can be detected with allMissionObjects: onEachFrame {hintSilent str allMissionObjects "#soundonvehicle"}; [] spawn {sleep 1; player say3D "Alarm"};
