# insideBuilding

*Command · Object Manipulation · Arma 3 v2.12*

## Description

Returns how much a man is inside a building. The value is the same as normally returned by weapons/ammo sound controller "interior".
It is possible to modify an individual object to use sound interior with [enableAudioFeature](../commands/enableAudioFeature.md).

> [!NOTE]
> The sound is considered internal when the corresponding surface sound name starts with "int_".
> An object placed inside a building that does not have model `CfgSurfaces`' soundEviron [sic] parameter named this way would generate external sound inside the building, and [insideBuilding](../commands/insideBuilding.md) on top of this object would return 0.
