Sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PSPKOR]

OK I've been stuck with this all weekend with no luck, can some one tell me whats wrong with this bit of code:
if playerMove == "no" and loopCount == 0 then
tankidle:play()
loopCount = loopCount + 1
loopCount2 = 0
tankdrive:stop()
end
if playerMove == "yes" and loopCount2 == 0 then
tankdrive:play()
loopCount2 = loopCount2 + 1
loopCount = 0
tankidle:stop()
end
Its playing .wav sounds and they are looped.

I did also try doing another way of playing it using the
local sound = filename
voice = sound:play()
but that didn't work very well, beacause every time I tried to stop one sound it was ok but if i tried stoping the other it just wouldn't work.

So if someone could help me out here please.

Wouldn't this be better in terms of logic flow?

if playerMove == "no" and not tankidle:playing() then
tankdrive:stop()
tankidle:play()
end

if playerMove == "yes" and not tankdrive:playing() then
tankidle:stop()
tankdrive:play()
end

Cheers i'll just try it.

---Edit---
No, it just goes off like it did before. Any other ideas?

[yaustar]

Okay.. In that case, I need to know what it actually does and what you want it to do in as much detail as possible. How are you trying to stop both sounds?

[PSPKOR]

Well its for a tank game that I'm making and I want it so that when the tanks moving it plays one sound and when its not moving it plays the other. But i also need it so it stops the other sound, or it sounds quite nasty. The sounds are also looped.

At the moment I have this:

if playerMove == "no" and loopCount == 0 then
local sound = tankidle
voice = sound:play()
loopCount2 = 0
loopCount = loopCount + 1
end

if voice:playing() and playerMove == "yes" then
voice:stop()
loopCount = 0
end

if playerMove == "yes" and loopCount2 == 0 then
local sound = tankdrive
noise = sound:play()
loopCount2 = loopCount2 + 1
end

This plays the stoped sound fine eg starts and stops at the right time, but the driving sound just keeps playing. If I try to add the STOP() command it crashes.

That didn't work either.
But yeah thats what I want i want it to do.
"plays either the tankidle or tankdrive sound at one time"

[yaustar]

tankdriveVoice = tankdrive:play()
tankdriveVoice:stop()
tankidleVoice = tankidle:play()
tankidleVoice:stop()

while true do

if playerMove == "no" and not tankidle:playing() then
tankdriveVoice:stop()
tankidleVoice = tankidle:play()
end

if playerMove == "yes" and not tankdrive:playing() then
tankidleVoice :stop()
tankdriveVoice = tankdrive:play()
end
end

Completely untested.

Dont look like thats working, I'll try and fiddle about with it a minute.

Do you have a PSP or Lua player on your PC?

Nevermind here you go have a look at the code attached, this is the whole code for it so far.

The sound stuff is under ------------drivin sounds------------.

[yaustar]

tankdriveVoice = tankdrive:play()
tankdriveVoice:stop()
tankidleVoice = tankidle:play()
tankidleVoice:stop()

while true do

if playerMove == "no" and not tankidleVoice:playing() then
tankdriveVoice:stop()
tankidleVoice = tankidle:play()
end

if playerMove == "yes" and not tankdriveVoice:playing() then
tankidleVoice :stop()
tankdriveVoice = tankdrive:play()
end
end

.

Well it runs this time but it only plays the idle sound.

PS - look at my post above.
