Adding audio to a command

First, as i understood, it's talk about commands/speech of crew... (look first post).
In this case, you should use StateMachineCtrl, as CMD_Rise_snorkel, CMD_Lower_snorkel are crew commands in CMD_Maneuver_officer section...
You must create a corresponding sound/speech and the corresponding phonemes (don't forget CH_speech.dat too), and you must paste the relevant events and playback of your messages into CH.dat and CH2.dat files (StateMachineClass --> GraphName chief_helsman/chief_helsman_type2).
IIRC, for example, see how it's done for Snorkel_depth command.
...
If you're talking about noise of snorkel motion... you have to do as it is done for periscope.
... or i did not understood anything in posts of this thread...

... not for object animation.
as, i think, for obj_Extensible objects, animation are hardcoded and it's object animation with controller parameters!
...
although, what we are talking... everything animation are hardcoded... we can only configure it through the parameters of controllers.

LOL! Yes, what I want is a sound for snorkel motion up&down that must be really noiser on Real Life...and in SH3 we have just no sound.

Periscope motion have it´s sounds as you know. The idea is to add something similar for snorkel with some workaround as we are not able to add sounds to a command key on sh3.

Isn´t just a matter to add a sound on sh3.sdl because we have nothing to attach this sound to the snorkel movement. And the most important point is that the snorkel is always there, I have not any success (until now) do attached something to it (and then a sound) that works when you press up or down snorkel...It´s realy trick!

Edit:The periscope movement sound is hardcode on Sh3Sound.act and then explicited on sh3.sdl. We have not this for snorkel!!

WIP Update:
- I was able to create scripts (smart macros) for Sh3 using 3rd party softer...and the best "side effect" is that is a easy as a cake to add sounds for any key/mouse command using this same softer!!

Is it your guess?
Unlike the periscope for snorkel you must use Interior or/and Submarine (for exterior) sound class/category...
I do not see anything that point to the periscope sound in Sh3Sound.act.
I was never interested in the sounds of SH3 ... but if in the last 7 years have been mod(s) with the addition of sound into game through Sh3.sdl, then it is possible..?
IIRC, it was done for new planes by russian community and here, too.

No joy as yet.

But I am sure learning a bunch by reading the give and take in this thread!

Still working on it.

I'm trying to avoid that option as I was really hoping to modify the game to make it work. If I am unsuccessful, I'll go that route.

Find for "Menu.Periscope.Move" inside Sh3sound.act. it´s there. Also others periscope sounds are defined there.

Sorry, Rubini... Yes it is.
... now i am not stay lazy and installed the program Search & Replace, and using the keyword "Periscop" found:
Menu.Periscope.RotClickUp
Menu.Periscope.RotClickDn
Menu.Periscope.RotClickTorp
Menu.Periscope.Move
Menu.Periscope.Chrono
Menu.Periscope.Fire
