How to repeatedly play a sound file every 10 seconds.

[_Defi]

I am trying to trigger playing a sound file repeatedly.

When I set

Repetitive Action -> Unit inside Zone -> SOUNT TO ALL (play wav file) 

it just keeps playing the wav file directly without sufficient gap between constantly almost all together at once (around 1s lag). Which is obviously wrong.

When I try to set

Repetitive Action -> Unit Inside Zone + TIME SINCE FLAG1 = 25 -> SOUND TO ALL + SET FLAG1 VALUE =10

it doesn't work as expected. I would think it counts how much time has passed since Flag was last set. And if it's been more than 25secs it should play it again. But nothing happens. 

Initially I have set a FLAG1 value =0 after 3secs into mission to trigger the Repetitive Action.

What is the easiest way to play a sound file repetitively when Unit inside a zone?

Not wrong, the trigger engine of DCS processes the trigger list every one second, it just did what you instructed it to.

You need to employ SWITCHED CONDITION instead of REPETITIVE ACTION. This way it will only be executed when the condition becames true again, like this:

Oh does it need that OFF and ON to be able to trigger the 'switched condition' ?  Or is SET FLAG VALUE = 10 also working? 
Because I got the REPETITIVE ACTIOn to WORK with TIME SINCE FLAG and SET FLAG VALUE at the same time.
BUT I needed to wait 2 Minutes before it even started playing in the first place! This is why initially I thought it wasn't working!
THANKS!
