Play sound effect when user gets more lives

Hello hopefully this will be an easy one. I'm working on a project and I need a sound to play after a variable goes up 1. For example a player gets an extra life in the game and a sound effect will play. Right now the sound plays over and over. I'm looking for a way to play the sound when the variable increases, sound runs one time then stops until the next extra life.

That's where you wanna use a function. Create a function that increases the variable and plays the sound (not looping). Then just call the function whenever the player gets an extra life.

How would I do the function for this? Outside on my expertise.

Check the manual, it's not much different than creating events.

construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/events/functions

You just create the function, add your actions (add 1 to variable, play sound) and then just call that function whenever you want to increase the players extra lifes.

Thanks, I'll check it out and hopefully I will have good news later. Thank you for the help and direction.
