looping a 3d sound
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/looping a 3d sound

| I'm trying to make a fly buzz. with the load3dsound() and emitsound(). How do i loop this sound? I've tried loopsound and that does loop the sound but then the sound won't stop playing after the first object has emmited the first sound. I also tried syncing it by length of sample, but this is unsatisfactory.. Any ideas folks? |

| You could try StopChannel to stop it. |
| ||
| Store the Channel emitsound returns then use ChannelPlaying(Ch_Buzz) to see if it is playing |
| ||
| tried both of the above:( sug1: ICECAP Loopsound just will not stop no matter what I try. Tried stopchannel, channel volume etc, no good. IS it legal to use loopsound with a 3dsound? why is there not a loop 3d sound command? sug2:Luke H ( if channelplaying etc) causes a nasty little glitch each time the sound is restarted. as i said I've tried syncing the length of the sample to the framerate/logic update, still it glitches. @ 50fps or at 85 fps( outside the tween loop) I even made a 20ms sample to last exzctly one frame glitch, glitch...... and yes the sample does loop seamlessly... any other suggestion more than welcome... |

| sound=loadsound("thingie.wav") chn=emitsound(sound,carrier) ... if mousehit(1) then pausechannel chn if mousehit(2) then resumechannel chn |

| BTW: "Loopsound just will not stop no matter what I try. Tried stopchannel, channel volume etc, no good." You're kiddin? Stopchannel works. |
| ||
| The only thing I can think of is that you are setting off two or more looping sounds on the same 'channel', thus: chan% = EmitSound(buzz,bee1) chan% = EmitSound(buzz,bee2) doing this, you will never ever be able to stop 'bee1' from buzzing, because you've overwritten the channel pointer with the second call to EmitSound. |

| thanks for all the help:) problem solved... I had more strange problems yesterday while editing/creating sounds..... anyway I tracked down the problem, it was my wave editor app running in the BG and confusing my cheap and nasty sound card.I presume.... This works ( with no wave editor app running), as thought it should.. buzzSnd = load3dsound(buzzsnd$) loopsound(buzzSnd) on creation of each fly, o\chan = emitsound(bussSnd,o\entity) on death of said fly... o\chan = stopchannel(args) and hurrah No clicky glitches.... look out for the wallFish...;) Oh and I noticed links to people's stuff can I, how do I? cheers folks |
