The prototype docs have moved to a new website with an improved format. This documentation page can now be found here: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/Sound.html

Basics

This type is either a table with the properties listed in #Optional properties, or an array of tables with the following members:

  • filename - Types/FileName - Mandatory. Supported sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.
  • volume - Types/float - Optional. - Default: 1.0
  • preload - Types/bool - Optional.
  • speed - Types/float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64. This sets both min and max speed.
  • min_speed - Types/float - Optional. Not loaded if speed is present. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64.
  • max_speed - Types/float - Mandatory if min_speed is present, otherwise not loaded. - Default: 1.0 - Must be >= min_speed.

Optional properties

aggregation

Type: Types/table

Table with the following members:

  • max_count - Types/uint32 - Mandatory.
  • progress_threshold - Types/float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - If count already playing is true, this will determine maximum progress when instance is counted toward playing sounds.
  • remove - Types/bool - Mandatory.
  • count_already_playing - Types/bool - Optional. - Default: false - If true already playing sounds are taken into account when checking maxCount.

allow_random_repeat

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

audible_distance_modifier

Type: Types/double

Default: 1.0

Modifies how far a sound can be heard. Must be between 0 and 1 (inclusive).

variations

Type: Types/table (array) of Types/tables

Array of tables with the following members:

  • filename - Types/FileName - Mandatory.
  • volume - Types/float - Optional. - Default: 1.0
  • preload - Types/bool - Optional.
  • speed - Types/float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64. This sets both min and max speed.
  • min_speed - Types/float - Optional. Not loaded if speed is present. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64.
  • max_speed - Types/float - Mandatory if min_speed is present, otherwise not loaded. - Default: 1.0 - Must be >= min_speed.
