Sound problems

Hi!

I'm having a strange bug related with sound.
Sometimes the sound keeps playing even after I called alxStop();

I have declared something like this:

datablock AudioDescription(AudioClosestLooping3d)
{
volume = 1.0;
isLooping= true;

is3D = true;
ReferenceDistance= 5.0;
MaxDistance= 20.0;
type = $SimAudioType;
};

datablock AudioProfile(RabbitAttackSound)
{
filename = "~/data/sound/npc_rabbit_attack1.wav";
description = AudioClosestLooping3d;
preload = true;
};


When the rabbit attacks I'm doing %rabbit.attackSoundHandle = alxPlay(RabbitAttackSound);
When it stop attacking I'm calling alxStop(%rabbit.attackSoundHandle);

I have confirmed and for each alxPlay I'm calling alxStop...


Anyone have the same problem?
Any clue about what could cause this strange behavior?


Thanks!

I've been debugging inside the Torque code...

It appears that when I call alxPlay with a looping sound and is3D=true and the volume calculations is zero (the sound is played near the MaxDistance) the handle returned by alxPlay is valid but useless when I call alxStop...

Anyone, can help me with this?


Thank you!

Why dont you use serverPlay3D for the attack sound ? I'am not sure but alxplay is better for 2d sound since you have no location where to play this sound.
