Is there a way to just silence the engine noise?

I want an """electric""" Automation car in Beam, and I tried just deleting the engine sound sample name in the .jbeam file, but the car caused errors and wouldn't spawn. How would I go about making the engine completely silent without destroying my ability to use it?

 

Instead of deleting the sample name just give it a typo like adding or removing a letter, that will silence the sound without errors.

 

Thanks! That did it.

 

Comments also work, without breaking the soundConfig (which probably causes console errors!).

Wrap up the original soundConfig block of code between multi-line comment markers (/* and the beginning and */ at the end), the whole commented portion of code simply won't be parsed.

Like this:

Code:

    /*
    "soundConfig":{
    ...
    ...
    ...
    },
    */

 

won't that just revert it to the old default sound though?

 

Is the old sound still in game?

Well, then, in that case, he can simply switch to the "silent" soundConfig used by other electric vehicles:

Code:

"sampleName":"ElectricMotor"
