Stop a sound that was started with PlaySound?

[ADuke 1]

Is there any way to stop a sound that was started with PlaySound in a script?

I have tried FadeSound, it does not seem to work, even when I set the forceplay to false when playing the original sound.

I know that playMusic "" works for music, maybe playSound "" work for sound. That's empty quotes ;)

No way to do it. As an alternative, you can attach an invisible H to the player, make the H say the sound, and when you want to stop the sound, delete the H or set its damage to 1.

Good solution, Celery. That works perfectly.

Celery, i don't understand what is H. Its a Human?

I think he means an unvisible

I think he means an unvisible helicopter marker.

I used this same method to make a fake sound source. He means something like this:

/* A simulated strange sound when the player is NOT the player. So player must be inside a vehicle as the driver. When he gets in the vehicle "aVehicleName" a Sound will play in loop until he gets out.
"aVehicleName" is the name of a strange and medium damaged vehicle. Ex: Car1, Car2, ChopperX2,...
*/

if (!local player) exitwith {};

if (vehicle player != player) then {

 StrangeSound ="HeliHempty" createvehicleLocal position player;
 Strange attachTo [player, [0, 0, 0.2]];

       WaitUntil {
       driver aVehicleName == player; sleep 0.1; if (vehicle player == player) exitwith {DeleteVehicle StrangeSound};
           };

 // Being the driver in the vehicle
 while (driver aVehicleName == player) do
 {
 HintSilent "You're hearing a Strange Sound in the motor."; sleep 5; StrangeSound SAY "StrangeSoundInVehicle"; // "StrangeSoundinVehicle" should be added previously to the mission in Description.ext
 }; // Strange sound must be 5 secons duration. Sure, you can change this aswell... 10 seconds sound ==> "sleep 10;"
// That Sound will keep playing until player is not the driver.

deletevehicle StrangeSound; // Deleting the object which was being used to play a sound when player was the driver.
}; // If ENDS HERE


if (true) exitwith {Hint "You don't hear that sound now}; // Message to confirm the End of the Script

That could be an example. Sure it has little mistakes but It was just a quick idea but keeps the essence.

I hope it helps you to understand the concept.

this will disable all sounds, not only source
