GML playSFX Script

[NikoPalad67140]

Hey guys!
I want to create a script that plays a sound once that is then executed after a certain action, for example with landing. Here's my code:

///@param sound
function playSFX(argument0)
{
    audio_stop_sound(argument0);
    audio_play_sound(argument0, 100, false);
}

However, when I execute this script, the sound keeps on looping.

Maybe you're calling the function more than once.

Why don't you check to see if it's playing first...

function playSFX(argument0) {
    if !audio_is_playing(argument0) {
        audio_play_sound(argument0, 100, false);
    }
}

function playSFX(argument0) {
    if !audio_is_playing(argument0) {
        audio_play_sound(argument0, 100, false);
    }
}

This works, but the looping is still there. It's just slower.

No, I don't. The script is executed in another script used for collision, and it is only written once.

The script is executed in another script used for collision, and it is only written once.

Then you're calling that repeatedly.

If something happens more often than you want it to, you're triggering it more often than you intended.

set the room speed to 1

room_speed = 1;

or

function playSFX(argument0)
{
    audio_stop_sound(argument0);
    if ( ! audio_is_playing(argument0) )
    {
        audio_play_sound(argument0, 10, false);
    }
}

function playSFX(argument0)
{
    if ( audio_is_playing(argument0) )
    {
        exit;
    }
    else
    {
    audio_play_sound(argument0, 10, false);
    }
}

How many times do things in your game collide?

I believe you are incorrect in this statement, but feel free to post your code and back yourself up. As an added bonus, someone might be able to tell you how to fix it in specifics, rather than the general advice we're stuck with now.
