looping sounds

how to stop a looping sound?

i do this : play "hydro" (looped)

             wait 3 s

             stop"hydro"

it doesen't work, why?

the sound is continuing....

If you link the code it would be easier. From what you have written it doesn't seem that anything should be wrong.

How long is that sound? Is it longer than the time you set in your loop?

Is it done during a trigger or continuous event? If it is called with something like 'trigger once while true' that code should work. If, not, that may be your problem.

yes my sound is longer than the loop loop=3 second and during 15 seconds

it's an hydrolic door open ...i think maybe just music can be looped not sounds?

i don't understand your trigger once while true;

so what is the code?

triger, continous event what is that? i'm a novice sorry

Most events run each tick (every time the cpu runs through the event sheet). There are some events that inherently only run a single time (on mouse clicked, on collision, etc). The rest of them happen repeatedly. I suspect the sound is getting played repeatedly and the stopping is only stopping a single instance of it. If you have an event that you want to force to play once (something like "If variable > 4, play sound"), you can go to System>Trigger Once While True to make that event only run a single time instead of repeatedly.

ok i find what's wrong i forget to put a tag on the sound it's working, fantastic
