Need help with script!

[demidekidasu]

Hi all,

 

I've trying to work my way around a problem I am having with my script almost all day, but I think I need to admit defeat and ask for help.

 

Bassically, I want to be able to stop a looped sound from playing at the press of a key. Here is the particular section which I need help with (using IsKeyPressed from SKSE):

Event OnUpdate()

If Input.IsKeyPressed(39) == 1
	Game.ForceThirdPerson()
	Game.DisablePlayerControls(True, True, True, False, True, False, True)
	Utility.wait(2.0)
	PlayerREF.playidle (IdleLuteStart)
	Utility.wait(1.0)
	int instanceID = DDDplaylutesound.Play(PlayerREF)

If Input.IsKeyPressed(207) == 1
	Sound.StopInstance(instanceID)
	PlayerREF.playidle (IdleLooseStop)
	Game.EnablePlayerControls()

endif
endif
endevent

 

Now, the problem here is that in this instance, neither the sound nor the idle anim will stop when I press key 207 (the [End] key).

 

If I put an "else" in there, it will start and stop the anim at the correct key presses, but the script will not compile with the "Sound.StopInstance(instanceID)" there ("variable instanceID is undefined").

 

It seems to me that I can only use that line if it is in the same sequence as the play command, rather than at the press of a key in a different part of the script. I am sure it must be myself at fault here, but I honestly cannot figure out a solution as my scripting knowledge is really quite limited, and the wiki tends to confuse me a little.

 

I also wonder if there is an alternative way to stop sounds from playing at the press of a key.

 

Massive thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help or simply explain what I am doing wrong!

Is it at least even possible? Surely it isn't the case that a sound loop can only be stopped in the same sequence that it starts in, after a timer...

 

I cannot seem to find anything of use to me at all by searching either here, on google or the wiki.

 

It is seriously frustrating and I'm ready to start tearing my hair out here.

I don't have the compiler since this is my laptop so it may not compile but you can try this script:

Sound Property LuteSound auto
int instanceID1
Event OnUpdate()

       If Input.IsKeyPressed(39) == 1
               Game.ForceThirdPerson()
               Game.DisablePlayerControls(True, True, True, False, True, False, True)
               Utility.wait(2.0)
               PlayerREF.playidle (IdleLuteStart)
               Utility.wait(1.0)
               instanceID1 = DDDplaylutesound.Play(PlayerREF)
      EndIf
       If Input.IsKeyPressed(207) == 1
               Sound.StopInstance(instanceID1)
               PlayerREF.playidle (IdleLooseStop)
               Game.EnablePlayerControls()
      EndIf
EndEvent

Thanks, RandomlyAwesome.

 

It compiles, but does not appear to work in game (I am probably making a mistake).

 

But I think I can mess around with it from here, so a huge thanks and kudos to you!

I haven't tested this.

 

Sound Property LuteSound auto 
int instanceID1
bool isPlaying = False
Event OnUpdate()

UnRegisterForUpdate()

If Input.IsKeyPressed(39) == 1 && !isPlaying
	isPlaying = True
	Game.ForceThirdPerson()
	Game.DisablePlayerControls(True, True, True, False, True, False, True)
	Utility.wait(2.0)
	PlayerREF.playidle(IdleLuteStart)
	Utility.wait(1.0)
	instanceID1 = DDDplaylutesound.Play(PlayerREF)
ElseIf Input.IsKeyPressed(207) == 1 && isPlaying
	If instanceID1 != None
		Sound.StopInstance(instanceID1)
	EndIf
	PlayerREF.playidle(IdleLooseStop)
	isPlaying = False
	Game.EnablePlayerControls()
EndIf

RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.05)

EndEvent
