Sounds not becoming "de-active"

[Dominic0904]

Basically I want to disable the sounds so I can set them to "active" when I script the events ((player walks into a script area, sound is triggered)).

But everytime I uncheck the "active" box and reload the map, the sound still plays. I have tried this with three different sounds and still the same result.

Is this something I need to do in the script itself? Cause I haven't started it yet, I just want to put down all the sounds before I script them.

Thank you.

you have to use: StopSound(string& asSoundName, float afFadeTime);
then use this to Play it: FadeInSound(string& asSoundName, float afFadeTime, bool abPlayStart);

Just to confirm, say i wanted to stop "guardian_scream1"

I would write it as:
StopSound(string& asguardian_scream1, float afFadeTime);

right? or am I doing that wrong?

strings need to be in quotes, and a float is a number with a decimal
StopSound("guardian_scream1", 2.0f);

Aha I knew the quotes thing, but since I am still quite new to this scripting business, I just wanted to confirm. I always learn better through simple examples or a YouTube video, I find it hard to learn from books and such. I am a "visual learner" as they call it

Thanks though!
