How do I precache a lot of sounds so that GMod doesn't crash when playing the sounds?

[Mista_Epic]

Currently, I'm trying to get a SWEP to play a bit of a song 0.1 seconds at a time. However, this crashes my game when firing, even though (I think) I precached all the sounds.

Here's my Deploy function, which was in Initialize until I moved it for debugging purposes. Putting it in Initialize causes the same problems as having it in Deploy, so I don't think that's it

function SWEP:Deploy()
	for i=0,864 do
		table.insert(Sounds,"weapons/rainbowroadgun/rainbowroad" .. i .. ".wav")
	end
	for i,S in pairs(Sounds) do
		util.PrecacheSound(S)
		print("Precached " .. S)
	end
end

This also prints about 865 lines of code saying "Precached weapons/rainbowroadgun/rainbowroad0.wav" through rainbowroad864.wav, like intended.

Here's where I'm playing the files

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
	--handling shooting and stuff
	OkaySoFar = true
	if not IsValid(self) then 
		OkaySoFar = false
	else if not IsValid(self.Weapon) then 
		OkaySoFar = false
	else if not IsValid(self.Owner) then
		OkaySoFar = false
	end	end	end
	
	if not OkaySoFar then return end
	
	/*local bone = self.Owner:GetViewModel():GetAttachment(2)
	local tr = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()
	local StartPos = bone.Pos
	local EndPos = tr.HitPos
	local Col = HSVToColor((360*CurTime())%360,1,1)*/
	
	if self:CanPrimaryAttack() and self.Owner:IsPlayer() then
		if !self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_RELOAD) then
				self:ShootBullet(self.Primary.Damage, self.Primary.NumShots, self.Primary.Cone)
				self.Weapon:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.NumShots)
				self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/rainbowroadgun/rainbowroad" .. Index .. ".wav") --Here
				self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )
				self.Owner:MuzzleFlash()
				self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire(CurTime()+self.Primary.Delay) 
				ChangeIndex()
				--render.SetMaterial( self.LASER )
				--render.DrawBeam(StartPos, EndPos, 4, 12, 12, Col)
		end
		elseif self:CanPrimaryAttack() and self.Owner:IsNPC() then
				self:ShootBullet(self.Primary.Damage, self.Primary.NumShots, self.Primary.Cone)
				self.Weapon:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.NumShots)
				self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK )
				self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/rainbowroadgun/rainbowroad" .. Index .. ".wav")
				self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )
				self.Owner:MuzzleFlash()
				self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire(CurTime()+self.Primary.Delay) 
				ChangeIndex()
				--render.SetMaterial( self.LASER )
				--render.DrawBeam(StartPos, EndPos, 4, 12, 12, Col)
		end
end

Index is set to 0 at the start of the code, and Sounds is set to {}

Here is ChangeIndex

function ChangeIndex()	
	if	(Index==864) then
		Index=0
	elseif (Index<864) then
		Index = Index + 1
	end
end

There are 865 sound files, each around roughly 0.1 seconds long, zero indexed, and named like "rainbowroad0.wav"

Please tell me if and how I could fix this, or to just give up. (I'd really prefer not to give up, though.)

I am going to sleep now, and will check the thread when I wake up or get back from school, so hopefully you guys will have some answers for me! Thanks in advance!

use these to play sound instead if you really need to play specific 0.1 second segments, and just precache the whole unfragmented song file

Hey, thanks! That's exactly what I needed, I just didn't know it existed!

Yeah, I figured that out. I just need to know how to play clips of audio, now.
