Ambient Sound Problem

Need some help guys

I am building a map which is mainly outside but also has a sewer complex.

Now I am using an ambient sound for the outside area which works fine but I also want to use a different ambient sound for when the player is within the confines of the sewer.

The sewer has 3 points of access/exit

Have tried several different ways but no matter what I do I can still hear the sewer ambient sound when I have left the sewer and I am back outside until such time as I get outside the radius of the env_soundscape.

Any help you guys could offer would save me anymore grey hairs :D

Sorry I cant offer any posative comments on this as Ive always had the same problem!

I like to have the indoor echo in buildings but with the "sphere" it creates there are either areas in the building it dosent work in or areas outside that still echo!

I have had a look at the official maps and cant see that they do it any special way!

You need to put another env soundscape for when you exit the sewer, which will trigger your ambient outside sound. Another way is to make a brush with nodraw and tie it to a trigger_soundscape entity as you exit your sewer. This will load the new soundscape and fade out the sewer sound.

Once a soundscape is triggered, it will continue to play until a new soundscape is triggered, even if you are not in the trigger radius.
