Sound Manager Question

[tommysticks]

Does anyone know how to stop a sound once it has been started? 

function saber_func()
	local player = getPlayer();
	if player:getPrimaryHandItem():getType() == "lightsaber" and player:getPrimaryHandItem() ~= nil then
		timeDown = timeDown - 1;
		if timeDown <= 0 then 
			timeDown = 25;
		end
		if timeDown == 24 then
			local idleSound = ZombRand(2);
			if idleSound == 1 then
				getSoundManager():PlayWorldSoundWav('saber_idle_1', false, getPlayer():getSquare(), 0, 4, 1, false);
				else
				getSoundManager():PlayWorldSoundWav('saber_idle_2', false, getPlayer():getSquare(), 0, 4, 1, false);
			end
		end
		print(timeDown);
	else

	end
	-- 332 updates in 10 seconds
	-- 316 ticks in 10 seconds
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(saber_func);

In the above code I have it where if you are idle with weapon "lightsaber" in your hand one of 2 random sounds (that are 1.5 seconds*) will play every ~1.4 seconds. This is achieved by a countdown timer but this method sucks because the 2 sounds have to overlap each other and the sound will continue to play even if you un-equip the lightsaber for the remainder of the sound clip.

*times are approximate

 

I would rather have a longer idle sound wave that loops when it is finished and stops playing once lightsaber has been un-equipped. Anyone know how to achieve this?

 

If I'm reading the Java Dec correctly, the function PlayWorldSoundWav has a boolean for looping sounds, however, I haven't been able to get any sounds to loop using any function provided:

public abstract Audio PlayWorldSoundWav(java.lang.String name,
                                        boolean loop,
                                        IsoGridSquare source,
                                        float pitchVar,
                                        float radius,
                                        float maxGain,
                                        boolean ignoreOutside)

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I could not get any sound to loop when I tried as well. I eventually gave up and ended up replaying the sound with a small overlap instead.
