[Question] Stopping playSound on login

[kieran]

Hello, I made a simple script to play a sound when my player renders, but I want to stop the sound when the player logs in and can't find out how.

Client

function PlayLoginSound()
	local sound = playSound("sounds/2.mp3", true) --Play wasted.mp3 from the sounds folder
	if (sound) then
	setSoundVolume(sound, 0.5) -- set the sound volume to 50%
		else 
		return
	end
end

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", root, PlayLoginSound)


function StopLoginSound()
	stopSound(sound)
end

addEvent("stoploginsound", true)
addEventHandler("stoploginsound", getRootElement(), StopLoginSound)

Server

--Stop login sound
function PlayLogin()
	triggerClientEvent(source, "stoploginsound")
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, PlayLogin)

Any help would be nice, tried triggering client event from server when player logs in, but keeps playing even if it's not looped...

local variables aren't accessible outside the function. Also, replace 'root' with 'resourceRoot' in event "onClientResourceStart".

So just remove the local from when I create the sound or put the local variable outside the function to allow me to stop it with the triggerClientEvent?

This has been solved, it was rather simple actually

This:

addEventHandler("stoploginsound", getRootElement(), StopLoginSound)

Should of been this:

addEventHandler("stoploginsound", root, StopLoginSound)

 

And finally for my server side code, this:

triggerClientEvent(source, "stoploginsound")

Should of been this:

triggerClientEvent(source, "stoploginsound", source)

 

Hope this will help people that struggle with stopSound.

getRootElement() is the same as root btw.
