Only want one sound to be playable at once!?

[WillCampbell21]

Hey guys! I'm currently in the middle of making a soundboard and have made it so that the player cannot repeat the same sound (so the don't spam it) but I don't know how to make it so that if they click on a different sound, the one that is playing stops. Basically only having one sound play at a time.

I posted this question a week or so ago and people did respond but I couldn't quite figure out how to get it done.

Thank you!

Hey - if you only ever want one sound playing, you can stop all others before playing your sound:

Any idea on how to set up the !global.SFX variable? I've googled it and tried to slot it in here and there but I can't quite figure it out.

That's just a variable being checked in the example - you can just run this function before you play a sound:

audio_stop_all();
