[Solved] How do I make a sound play only once?

I want a jump sound to play when the player sprite jumps, but when I tried to set that up the sound ended up playing on loop the entire time it was in the air.

While I have gotten it to Sort of work (the sound doesn't play when jumping multiple times with little time in between), there must be a better way.

Here's what I have right now.

Add a 'trigger once' condition. The event sheet is read once every tick (~60 times a second) so if you use a condition like 'is jumping', it is checked and true constantly, 60 times a second. If you put a play sound action in an event like that, it will play 60 sounds a second, which will sound pretty awful.

Adding a 'trigger once' condition beneath it turns it in to a trigger.

Ah, thank you Ashley! Works perfectly.

All good evening, I'm making a game, and I need to reproduce the sound from the change only once, but the trigger just does not help, since it turns off the repetition of actions with the variable, what should I do? (Sorry for my broken English, I did not learn this language)
