Hey UGX, i grabbed this function from a script someone made me for a 3D sound thing to play a song in a certain area, and it is activated via trigger. I would like to know how to make it work, without having to reactivate the trigger and have the song looping (Basically i have my Peach's castle music and i want there to be a button whether or not to start the music) Here is the function from the script, if you need more tell me i dont have much scripting knowledge so please if u need more info tell me but i am 50% sure this is all you need: Code Snippet Plaintext Copy sweet_victory_function() { while(1) { pos = getentarray("victory_pos", "targetname"); player = undefined; trig = getEnt("sweet_victory_trig", "targetname"); trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt(); trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" ); trig setHintString("Press button to start the awesome concert!"); trig waittill ("trigger", player ); if(level.spongysong_flag == 0) { level.spongysong_flag = 1; iprintln("Please enjoy the Sweet Victory song!"); for(h=0;h<pos.size;h++) { pos[h] playsound("sweet_victory"); } wait(228); level.spongysong_flag = 0; break; } else if(level.spongysong_flag == 1) { iprintln("Please wait untill spongy song is done."); } wait 0.1; } }

Hey UGX, i grabbed this function from a script someone made me for a 3D sound thing to play a song in a certain area, and it is activated via trigger. I would like to know how to make it work, without having to reactivate the trigger and have the song looping (Basically i have my Peach's castle music and i want there to be a button whether or not to start the music)

Here is the function from the script, if you need more tell me i dont have much scripting knowledge so please if u need more info tell me but i am 50% sure this is all you need:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

sweet_victory_function()
{
while(1)
{
		pos = getentarray("victory_pos", "targetname");
		player = undefined;
		trig = getEnt("sweet_victory_trig", "targetname");
		trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
		trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
		trig setHintString("Press button to start the awesome concert!");
		trig waittill ("trigger", player );
		if(level.spongysong_flag == 0)
	{	level.spongysong_flag = 1;
		iprintln("Please enjoy the Sweet Victory song!");
		for(h=0;h<pos.size;h++)
		{
		pos[h] playsound("sweet_victory");
		}
			wait(228);
		level.spongysong_flag = 0;
		break;
	}
		else if(level.spongysong_flag == 1)
		{
		iprintln("Please wait untill spongy song is done.");
		}
wait 0.1;
}
}

This should do, remember the soundalias also needs the sound set to looping.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

sweet_victory_function()
{
	pos = getentarray("victory_pos", "targetname");
	trig = getEnt("sweet_victory_trig", "targetname");
	trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
	trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	trig setHintString("Press button to start the awesome concert!");
	trig waittill ("trigger" );
 
	for(h=0;h<pos.size;h++)
	{
	pos[h] playloopsound("sweet_victory");
	}

         trig delete();
}

You can use this to stop the sound if needed:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

ENTITY stopLoopSound();

BTW: is it a trigger_use, or a trigger multiple?

Thanks, it will be a trigger_use because i want it to be optional to turn on the castle music

can't find a tut on how to make a 3D sound looping. Here is my .csv line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

sweet_victory,castle\sweet_victory.wav,,,1,1,200,400,,,,,music,,,0.8,1800,,curve0,1,1,,3d,streamed,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,200,0.5,0.25,,,,,,90,90,0.25,1,,

what do i change in it? i tried to change the curve to looping but i'm 90% sure that isint correct

I really really really dont like soundaliases. Whenever i need something i try looking for an Original sound that's matching my needs and copy that. Otherwise try the ugx-alias editor and look for the setting in there maybe
