how to stop sound?

[EvoloZz]

PlaySound is global, and PlayLocalSound is only for players you defined (e.g, self or attacker) I think

But you could also do (if I am right) this:

soundfunc()
{
trig = getent("trig_sound","targetname");

while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger",player);
player playsound("sound");
}
}

So the sound is only played to the player... Don't know the difference between them, but thanks for the answer anyways

Have you read evolvz reply?

Using code like that will make the player EMIT the sound (is the source of the sound) which will audible for all nearby players.

player playlocalsound(sound goes here); is the correct way to do it!

PlaySound = Play sound at position/origin (everyone near it can hear).
PlayLocalSound = Play sound only for player
AmbientPlay = Play on the whole map (It bugs for new joining players, so would be better to use playLocalSound via for() loop)

Ahhh Understood already :]

I thought that the sound was played to the player but now I understand the difference^^

Thank you all!

hi, you can stop the music by this way: PlaySound("null");

This doesnt work for me :/ I still hear the ambient playing

[EvoloZz]

Ambient? then use AmbientStop(fadeout time); to stop it

[Ni3ls]

That doesnt work. I dont get any error, but the ambient just keeps playing.

musicoff()
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(getCvar("scr_music") == "1")
		{
			AmbientStop(0);
			AmbientStop("zom_scary");
		}
	wait 1;
	}
}

I stepped over a problem today: Stopping a sound works with playLocalSound, but not with playSound. This is annoying, as sounds might overlap in some scenarios. The soundalias was:

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage

test_local,,startsound.mp3,1,1,,,,1000000,,local,streamed,1
test_stop_local,,stopsound.mp3,1,1,,,,1000000,,local,streamed,1

Removing the entity, which played the sound, did not help, neither did moving the entity away (the sound stays at the location where it has been played).

Any known solutions? Playing the desired sound by a playLocalSound loop over all players it not nice, as the distance<->volume curve gets lost.

Maybe I just forgot something ^^

The soundalias has "local" set for the masterslave channel. Try removing the word "local" so that it defaults to "world".
