I'm not sure I understand that seeing as you only need one description file for all of your sounds.

To loop your sounds do the following in a script.

Code: [Select]

#soundloop
playsound "mysound"

;however many seconds your sound lasts for
~20

goto "soundloop"

That should work

I have a similar question.

I want to loop an "ambient"-sound (marketplace), so it must not have a distinct source. So the playsound command should suit that, I guess.

Also, the sound should be played continuously as long as the player is within the marketplace-area (i.e. within a trigger area).

Now, how can I check the trigger condition in the loop-script, so that the sound is looped as long as the player is within the trigger area?

basically what this will do is check whether the unit is within a certain distance of the centerpoint of the marketplace, so the marketplace will have to be circular. when the unit gets into the marketplace it will fade in the sound over five seconds, then start to check whether he leaves, in which case it will do the opposite. you will have to change some values to fit the size of the marketplace and how long the sound is.

place a gamelogic in the center of the marketplace named center and name the player unit

for the way i did this you will need to list the sound as music which is just changing a word in the description.ext

Code: [Select]

#check
0 fademusic 0
~2 (this way there is a delay and you wont always hear the sound at the exact same spot)

?( unit distance center > 50): goto "check" (replace 50 with the radius of the marketplace in meters)
goto "fadein"

#soundloop
playmusic "mysound"
wait = time/5 (time is the length of the sound)
~wait
?(unit distance center > 50): goto "fadeout"
~wait
?(unit distance center > 50): goto "fadeout"
~wait
?(unit distance center > 50): goto "fadeout"
~wait
?(unit distance center > 50): goto "fadeout"
~wait
goto "soundloop"

#fadeout
0 fademusic 5
goto "check"

#fadein
1 fademusic 5
goto "soundloop"
i think this will work, let me know
