Title: Check if specific sound is/Is not playing?
Post by: Sheng Long on April 22, 2014, 07:29:26 am

Is there a condition, or trigger to determine if a specific sound is being played, or NOT being played in MUGEN? Whether it is determined via Group #, Sound #, or can it be determined via Channel #?

Pretty sure you cant.
Mugen is pretty limited on it's sound game.
As var as I know you get to use
StopSnd
SndPan
PlaySnd
and that's it.

One thing that I can think of, to "trick" it to know is put the sound on a different channel, and use a variable to keep track of it.
What ever state plays the sound would set the variable at the start. Then you'd have to set up a timer to reset the variable. It'd be kinda hard to guage the time too.
If you needed you could set up a stopsnd and which ever state stopped it would reset the variable.

IMO, this is something Elecbyte should work on immediately. Sound is what really brings the character to life.

Well, the reason I asked is because I was trying to "loop" a song/music playing that is built within a character. Instead of looping from the beginning of a song, trying to loop from the middle of a song. I had to split the music up into 2 parts though for it to work.
The only way I could do it is to use a LowPriority controller on a PlaySnd, and have it play on the same channel the beginning of the song was on.

Well, thanks anyway.
