Check to see if anything is playing

by JD Scogin · in Torque 3D Beginner · 06/29/2013 (8:32 pm) · 1 replies

Using SFX sound, does anyone know how to test to see if anything is playing? I have a sound that plays on collision with an object (item), but I don't what it to keep starting over if it is hit more than once. So if I can check to see if anything is playing, and then not play if it is, that would work. Just can't figure out how to test if anything is playing. Thanks

the ~ button should get you into consol mode during in game and if you put some echo((you variable etc goes here) @ "Has started playing"); checker in your sfx function call then that should do it :o)

edit:

Oh I see so basically what you need is to check for some condition is true or false and then decide what should happen next(check the Torque 3D Development Cookbook, chapter 6 page 211, that should spark some ideas).

Also triggers can be a great thing to use here.
