Is there any way to stop only one sound coming from an

actor? cus' I am makin' this music game where the notes can get held out, but... WQhen I do stop sound it stops all the sound when there are supposed to be more than one music note at a time any Ideas

Probably not much use to you here but;

To prevent a sound being played in the first place you could use a variable for the sound volume (just for that one sound) and then adjust the volume level by altering the variable (i.e. make is 0 to turn the sound off)

Code: Select all

PlaySound2("data/yoursound.wav", soundVolume, 1, 0.000000);


Where soundVolume is a Global variable.

Not sure about altering it whilst it's being played though,

But that does not work when you have 1 actor that makes 2-13 the sounds at the same time

Use the channel returned in the play funcions.

could you please describe the code

[makslane]

Create a variable (integer, actor) to hold the sound.
In the play function, use:

Code: Select all

channel = PlaySound2("data/sound.wav",  1, 1, 0);

To stop this sound, just use:

Code: Select all

stopSound(channel);

If you need control more than one sound per actor, add more variables, or use an array.
