Dynamic Ambient script release

[JackFighter 7]

I always found interesting the usage of dynamic ambient soundtracks in games with a more or less open environment (e.g, Fallout, TES...). In my opinion, dynamic music change based on combat/calm state always gives players more immersion and brings the overall joy of the gaming process higher.
Unfortunately, Arma doesn't have anything similar in terms of dynamic music so I decided to do it myself. The base concept of this script was made in late 2019 and was used mainly for SP/private MP scenarios being constantly polished throughout these years. I'm not a very experienced scripter, but I tried to make this performance-friendly as much as possible so all suggestions are more than welcome.
The script is very customizable, so you can even come up with your own music.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I am seeking guidance.

 

How can I go about halting the Dynamic Ambient loops? I am making a mission in which certain sections are supposed to have specific tracks played. From what I gathered by looking at your pastebin snippets, neither loops nor EH seem to have any form of a "toggling" variable. Force-playing track also seems to be not the best idea as the EH will fade it out if in specific circumstances.
