Looping sound

[Dai-San 0]

I wondered if there was a limit to looping sounds, I have an alarm siren set to go off if certain things happen, it was set to loop for 6 seconds. I changed it to 10 seconds in the script but it still only loops for 6 seconds?

No there is no limit. You may have made a mistake in the script. You can have a sound loop for eternity, but please don't do that with that infernal a_siren.wav 10 seconds is plenty

If I remember you set the seconds it begins and ends, so if the sound takes 6 seconds it will loop for 6 seconds, even if you tell it to end after 10 seconds.

Am I right here, Jack ?

Probably not

Probably not

Not quite

If you set the parameter to 0 (zero) it will play the sound once. If you set it for any other value it should play for that many seconds. So if a sound is 6 seconds long and you set it to loop for 10 secs it should play 1.6666 times. However, some of the wave files in GR have a relatively large section at the end that is blank. So you may only hear sound for say 3 seconds but the wave is actually 5 seconds long.
