Sound repeats 30 times a second

| I'm just trying to create a program that plays certain sounds at certain times. For example I might want a "start" sound and then 2 minutes later a "stop" sound. But the sound repeats many times a second. How do I get it to just play once? I'm a complete newb BTW so don't get too technical. Thx ; Timer ;_______________ Graphics3D 640,480 SetBuffer BackBuffer() ; Create camera cam=CreateCamera() PositionEntity cam, 0,0,0 ; Creating a light light=CreateLight(3) ;Loading the sounds rndtwo = LoadSound("rndtwo.wav") ;Create timer. timer = MilliSecs() ; This following code makes our program run While Not KeyDown( 1 ) ;Just trying to make certain sounds play at certain times dictated by a timer If MilliSecs() < timer + 1000 Then PlaySound rndtwo EndIf UpdateWorld RenderWorld Flip Wend End |

| I've had the same problem in the past. The good people here told me to put this code in: If Not ChannelPlaying(soundchn) soundchn=PlaySound(sound) End if I your case, I think it would be more like: ;Just trying to make certain sounds play at certain times dictated by a timer If MilliSecs() < timer + 1000 Then If Not ChannelPlaying(soundchn) soundchn=PlaySound(rndtwo) EndIf EndIf I think the reason your sound keeps repeating is because of this part: If MilliSecs() < timer + 1000 Then There's not anything wrong with that, it is just telling Blitz to play the sound as soon as MilliSecs() is less than timer+1000, which Blitz will play over and over as long as it remains true. |

| That totally worked. Thank you so much! |

| Just glad I could help. |

| by the way... you need to update your timer If MilliSecs() < timer + 1000 Then PlaySound(rndtwo) timer = millisecs() EndIf |
