Hey guys!

I would like to play a 30 second sound clip every minute (for a belltower).

It seems to work, except it doesnt play the third sound, clock_03. The first two play but not the third. If I edit out clock_02, it plays clock_03, so I am stumped. Does SetSoundQueueing only work for 2 stitched audio files?

Here is my code:

default{
state_entry(){
llSetTimerEvent(60);
}

timer(){

llSetSoundQueueing(TRUE);
llPlaySound("clock_01", 1);
llPlaySound("clock_02", 1);
llPlaySound("clock_03", 1);

}
}

The Wiki is your friend here:

http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSetSoundQueueing

"The queue is one level deep (i.e., only one sound will queue up at a time)."

Maybe you could use a shorter timer, and wake up when you know you're in the 2nd sound, and queue up the 3rd sound at that time? And then go back to sleep for the remainder of the 60 seconds?

this is just my opinion, but things that make repeatative sounds in SL really drive me nuts, are you sure you need it to go off every minute?

Interesting, I feel Second Life is sorely lacking in ambient sound!

From: someone
// Just put sounds in object inventory and voila

integer i = -1;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(60.0);
}

timer()
{
integer t = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_SOUND);
i++;
if(i >= t) i = 0;
// Use llTriggerSound because otherwise only people who have the bell on their interest list can hear it
if(t) llTriggerSound(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, i), 1.0);
}
}

Well, the design is to have it play every hour, like the belltower on our campus. I put it to 60 seconds to test. Thanks for your help, Ill test it out ASAP and get back to you guys.

agreed, just repeatative sounds drive me batty, espeically if your near them for a length of time. when there mixed tho, such as several different bird calls, creaking wood, wind blowing, ect. can be quite nice :)

sorry to go off topic
