Yyy, you're right
In the case of the code above, it would be:
PHP Code:
if(GetLocalVarInt("Radio") == 0) // 0 means "currently off" - so turn it on
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("id.sound.radio", "radio.snt", "radioarea", 0.0, false); // 0.0 - fade in time
SetLocalVarInt("Radio", 1); // set it to "currently on"
}
else // local var "Radio" is 1, that is: "currently on" - so turn it off
{
StopSound("id.sound.radio", 0.5f); //Change 0.5f to how long you want the sound to fade out.
SetLocalVarInt("Radio", 0); // set it to "currently off"
}
Also, the way the code is setup, it should start with:
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("Radio", 0); // 0 instead of 1
// etc...

I just wanted the player to use the cellphone to stop the music.
I'm not giving up, i'm having it done somehow. hehe.

Awesome, that last code did the trick and it now works as intended!
Thanks a lot guys, you will get a place in the credits at the end of my mod.

@Amn: You know what you could try? You could create one huge script area that encompasses entire level, and then add a use item callback on that - if it's possible to do when you're standing inside the script area itself (didn't test). The player experience would be: use the cellphone to interact with "the air". If it's possible, than it would work out rather nicely, for what you want to do, I think.

Good idea. But even if that worked, how could the player still interact with other things having that permanent area around?
I'll test it out in a sec.
edit2: didn't work very well. You can use the item "with the air" but in this area you can't pick up items or interact with things. So, not good. But i won't give up.
