Ringing" noise for loud noises, flashbangs, gunshots, etc.

I want the ability to playing a ringing noise when my players have gotten too close to an explosion, or just shot a loud gun, or etc.

Heres what I have so far.

I need to make a client side script, that takes some variables from my gun and explosion scripts.



Then, make an equation that computes how loud the ringing noise should be and the length of time it should last for.

Decrease the volume on all the other sound channels, playing the ringing noise on a set channel cranked all the way up, then slowling turn back up the volume on my other channels.

alxSetChannelVolume( channelD , volume )

I know that will decrease the volume on a channel.

Couple of questions. How many channels does torque have so I know how many channels I need to turn down then back up?

And, how do I play a sound on a set channel? I know I'd want to do a for loop, and turn down everything but my ringing noise channel, but how do I make sure that sound gets played on the proper channel?


Thanks
