Touch on off script

I have a script that I found that when you touch it the sound goes on and I managed to add something to make it play a loop when touched.

How do I add a touch event to get it to stop playing the sound?

I am very, very new to this and never programed so I'm sorry in advanced if this is one of those very easy things to do that I'm just not getting.

Here is the script so far. The sound is not stopping when it is touched but the script still compiles.



float LOUDNESS = 0.3; //Set this between 0.0 and 1.0

default
{
touch_start(integer number_detected)
{
integer sounds = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_SOUND);

if ( sounds <= 0 ) return;

string soundname = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, llFloor(llFrand(sounds)) );
if ( soundname != ""
{
llPlaySound( soundname, LOUDNESS );
llLoopSound( soundname, LOUDNESS );
}
}
}

state off
{
touch_start(integer number_detected)
{
llStopSound();
}

}

Right after your loopsound statementm say:

state off;


And in your off state, right after your stop sound, say:

state default;

I think that would do it.

[edit: RJ said it better, quicker, while Qie was still typing drivel.]

Also, if you have llLoopSound, you don't need the llPlaySound.

And if you want to get tricky, you could select the next random sound while the current one is looping, and llPreloadSound to make it start promptly next time 'round.

Thanks Qie and RJ!

Whee! My first script...sort of..well, anyway, where I have a clue what's going on instead of just changing variables.

Thanks again!

congratulations, Dnali. keep scripting...

Thank you..my lovely bells are working great.

Here is what I came up with from your advice:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

float LOUDNESS = 0.3; //Set this between 0.0 and 1.0

default
{
touch_start(integer number_detected)
{
integer sounds = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_SOUND);

if ( sounds <= 0 ) return;

string soundname = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, llFloor(llFrand(sounds)) );
if ( soundname != ""
{
llLoopSound( soundname, LOUDNESS );
}
{
state off;
}

}
}// End of default

state off
{
touch_start(integer number_detected)
{
llStopSound();
{
state default;
}

}
}
