How to make sounds NOT loop (like a death cry)

Hidden Hands · Post by **Hidden Hands** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:18 pm

I have pasted my code below. This is an animation that happens in a scene and the problem I have is that the sounds used with "A_PlaySound" keep looping. How do I make them play and stop, like a demons death cry? Also, sounds cut off previous ones. Can I fix this?

Code: Select all

ACTOR DemonKillsDonnie 2222
{
//$Category Apparition
//$Title DemonKillsDonnie
//$Sprite DEXEC0
    Scale 0.7
    Renderstyle "Normal"
    Height 60
	Mass 40
    +SOLID
    States
	{
	Spawn:
    DAPR A 8
    DAPR B 8
    DAPR C 8
    DAPR D 15
    DEXE A 8
    DEXE B 8
    DEXE C 8 A_PlaySound ("Gore/Slash", CHAN_VOICE, 0.7, 1, ATTN_STATIC, 0)
    DEXE D 8 A_PlaySound ("Gore/Drop1", CHAN_VOICE, 0.7, 1, ATTN_STATIC, 0)
    DEXE E 8 
    DEXE F 8
    DEXE G 8
    DEXE H 8
    DEXE I 8 A_PlaySound ("Gore/Drop2", CHAN_VOICE, 0.7, 1, ATTN_STATIC, 0)
    DEXE J 8
    DEXE K -1
    Stop
	}
}

Check your parameters [wiki]A_PlaySound[/wiki]

Also, use A_StartSound which has clearer parameters than A_PlaySound.

Hidden Hands, are you checking the wiki when you encounter a problem, or do you head straight here, without trying to solve the problem by yourself? This issue could be 100% solved by yourself, if you just opened the wiki and pasted the A_playsound there.

Also, are you using slade to edit the actor definitions? If so, you dont even need to head to wiki, slade shows you the functions parameters, so again, you should be able to solve it by careful check...

The sound is looping, because you told the function to make it looping. Copied the code somewhere, don't you?
