Sound looping

[Ronon Dex]

It seems that
[lua]
local SOUND = Sound("path/to/sound.mp3")
local SOUND_2 = CreateSound(self.Entity, SOUND)
SOUND_2:Play()
[/lua]
Doesn't loop my sound.

Any help

Why did you capitilise 'Local'?

You do know that lua is case sensitive?

[Ronon Dex]

Yeah sorry, i know, thats not the code im using. i quickly typed that up

Fixed it now by doing
[lua]
local SOUND=Sound("path/to/sound.mp3")

if(!self.Sound) then
self.Sound=CreateSound(self.Entity, SOUND)
end

self.Sound:Play()
[/lua]

mp3's do not loop, only the correctly cued wav files do.

To do something like that try this:
[lua]
function ENT.ConstantLoopingSound()
local snd_path = Sound( "path/to/sound.mp3" )
local snd_duration = SoundDuration( snd_path )
if self.Sound then
self.Sound:Stop()
self.Sound = nil
end
self.Sound = CreateSound( self, snd_path )
self.Sound:Play()
timer.Simple( snd_duration, self.ConstantLoopingSound )
end
[/lua]
self == self.Entity in SENT's now, no need for self.Entity

Sorry mp3 was only for example im using wav's in SENT and thanks for the self = self.Entity heads up

[tehbiga]

No problem, for wav's its the same principle. If it doesn't loop, use that.

You might want to change ENT. to ENT:

To loop a wav-file you should use cue points.
If you don't know how to add those to a wav-file, read [URL=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Looping_A_Sound]this[/URL].
