StopSound not working on certain .SNT

[Damascus]

I'm having lots of trouble getting a sound to stop in one of my maps. When the player enters a certain area, I want a prisoner chained to the wall to start muttering. However, since the muttering has such a wide range I want it to stop when the player leaves the area, but the sound won't stop.

"Prisoner" is the offending sound:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart{
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "TerrorArea", "CollideTerrorArea", false, 0);
}

void CollideTerrorArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    if(alState == 1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.75f, 0.7f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.025f, 0.02f);
        AddTimer("terror", 0, "TimerTerrorDrain");
        SetLocalVarInt("InTerror", 1);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("Prisoner", "24_mb_02.snt", "chained_prisoner_3", 1.0f, true);
    }
    else if(alState == -1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.0f, 1.0f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0f, 0.02f);
        RemoveTimer("terror");
        SetLocalVarInt("InTerror", 0);
        StopSound("Prisoner", 1.0f);
    }
} 


Every other script works when the player leaves; Sepia and Radial Blur return to normal, but the muttering continues. When the player then re-enters the area, a second muttering sound will start and overlap the original.

It seems like the script is wider, the issue should be in another part (because I don't see anything wrong in the StopSound thing). Please, show us the whole script that implicated the prisoner (That Variable, for example).

Is the rest of the else if executing?

[Damascus]

Actually, I realized that the Timer and Variable are parts of the script that I'm no longer using. So I took those out, but the sound is still not stopping. Here is the whole script having to do with this room:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart{
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "TerrorArea", "CollideTerrorArea", false, 0);
}

void CollideTerrorArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    if(alState == 1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.75f, 0.7f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.025f, 0.02f);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("Prisoner", "24_mb_02.snt", "chained_prisoner_3", 1.0f, true);
    }
    else if(alState == -1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.0f, 1.0f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0f, 0.02f);
        StopSound("Prisoner", 1.0f);
    }



void Transform(string &in asEntity)
{
    SetEntityActive("chained_prisoner_3", false);
    SetEntityActive("shackles_single_19", true);
    SetEntityActive("shackles_single_20", true);
    SetEntityActive("servant_brute_1", true);
    PlayMusic("26_event_brute.ogg", false, 0.7, 0.3, 10, false);
    AddTimer("scare", 1.0f, "TimerGruntScare");
    AddTimer("breath", 3.0f, "TimerGruntScare");
}

void TimerGruntScare(string &in asTimer)
{
    if(asTimer == "breath")
    {
        PlayGuiSound("react_breath", 0.6f);
        FadeImageTrailTo(0,0.2f);
        SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(1.0f);
        SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(1.0f);
        return;
    }
    
    GiveSanityDamage(10.0f, true);
    PlayGuiSound("react_scare6", 0.7f);
    StopSound("Prisoner", 0);
    FadeImageTrailTo(2,1);
    SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(0.8f);
    SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(0.8f);
}
} 


The strangest thing is that the muttering sound stops when I activate the brute, which at first I thought had to do with setting the shackled prisoner inactive. But when I try to do that in the first script, it still doesn't make the sound stop when the player leaves:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void CollideTerrorArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    if(alState == 1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.75f, 0.7f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.025f, 0.02f);
    SetEntityActive("chained_prisoner_3", true);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("Prisoner", "24_mb_02.snt", "chained_prisoner_3", 1.0f, true);
    }
    else if(alState == -1)
    {
        FadeSepiaColorTo(0.0f, 1.0f);
        FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0f, 0.02f);
        StopSound("Prisoner", 1.0f);
    SetEntityActive("chained_prisoner_3", false);
    }
}

Is the rest of the else if executing?

Yes, the rest of it is working. Sepia and Radial Blur are both reset the 0 when the player leaves the room.

Try have a look inside the .snt

Maybe it gives some answers...

I took a look, but I can't see anything that can help me.

[The chaser]

Set the blockable thing to true and the Loop to false. Maybe it fixes it.

[FlawlessHappiness]

Yea maybe the blockable thingy

[Daemian]

or just set it's volume to zero

Make sure you didn't place a Sound on the map, I've gone bonkers once before looking for a sound that I called through script, but would sound on startup every time I entered the map. Because I had accidently placed a sound near where I started.
