layered sounds

ok, ran into some weirdness with playing sounds...

I want to trigger a set of sounds, user intechangeable, but ran into a problem...

if I want to trigger the same sound again, before the first one has stopped, it doesn't let me...

//-- test case example
//--sound = 3sec long
llPlaySound( sound );
llSleep( 4.0 );
llPlaySound( sound );

works fine, but if the sound is 5 seconds long, (and could be if the user defines a new one) that same function ignores the second attempt to play (apparently because it has the same key, and won't play the same key sound over top off itself)

looking for creative workarounds, I'd rather not limit what the user can play, or rather the length of sound a user can choose... ideas?

You can layer sounds by using multiple prims. If you have the same sound in multiple prims (or just the key even), you can overlay sounds. I've never experimented with using multiple scripts in the same prim either, but that may be another way to do it.

I like to use llSetSoundQueueing and I also use llTriggerSound instead of llPlaySound. The multi-prim advice works great but I like to keep the amount of scripts used as low as possible (ALAP... lol). It can be all done on one script!

heh I forgot to mention, that WAS with sound queuing set to true... works for different sounds, but not the same... but you say trigger sound works with the same sound? that'd be lovely =)

I'd rather avoid trying to trigger the sound from multiple prims as there are timing and counter issues that'd make it a pain to code, never mind this is a 10 prim project... (and may or may not be neccessary, depending on users sound length, which I have no way to programatically check =/)
