Making a looping Sound stop

[Zorkaz]

1. I'm currently having a script where an NPC approaches you and at a certain distance a looping sound (Heartbeat) starts to play

 

2. Now the sound does not stop when you go away from him.

I tried making it a condition that the sound only appears between a certain distance from him but it does not work.

 

3. I know that there's StopInstance() but it only seems to work within a specific function or Event, not separate ones.

 

Any ideas?

 

The base script on the NPC

Sound Property TWHearbeatFastFxCompound Auto
ImageSpaceModifier Property Poison Auto

Event Onload()
Somefunction()
EndEvent

Function SomeFunction()
  RegisterForDistanceLessThanEvent(Game.GetPlayer(), Self, 400.0)
  RegisterForDistanceGreaterThanEvent(Game.GetPlayer(), Self, 400.0)
EndFunction


Event OnDistanceLessThan(ObjectReference akObj1, ObjectReference akObj2, float afDistance)
TWHearbeatFastFxCompound.play(Game.Getplayer())
Poison.Apply()
EndEvent

Event OnDistanceGreaterThan(ObjectReference akObj1, ObjectReference akObj2, float afDistance)
SomeFunction()

EndEvent

Oh that's the condition from the sound

Yes make the sound instance variable script level like this;

Int iVertibirdSoundInstance = -1

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)
If ((akTarget == None) || (aeCombatState == 0))  ;not in combat
   If (iVertibirdSoundInstance != -1)
      Sound.StopInstance(iVertibirdSoundInstance)
      iVertibirdSoundInstance = -1
   EndIf
ElseIf (akTarget == (pPlayerREF as Actor)) && (iVertibirdSoundInstance == -1) ; Player gets PsiWarOp
	iVertibirdSoundInstance = pSKK_CSRadioInstituteWagnerRideOfTheValkyries.Play((Self as ReferenceAlias).GetReference())
      Sound.SetInstanceVolume(iVertibirdSoundInstance, 1.0) ; make it loud
EndIf
EndEvent

Dont forget handlers for OnDeath and OnUnload events to clean up as well.
