Hi, I placed an ambient generic in my map and directed it to play the sound weapons/rocket1.wav. I want the sound to play once each time it's triggered so I have the flags set to "start silent" and "NOT looped". When I trigger it, the sound plays but it never shuts off.
Does anyone know how to make THAT sound play only once when triggered?

Trigger it again when you want it to stop.
No, you shouldn't have to do it, but apparenty since the not looped flag is b0rked, you'll have to do it manually

Try a different sound and see if it has the same issue?

Sounds with cue points loop regrardless of any flags/settings. You either have to edit it with goldwave and remove the cues, or as Rabid said, trigger it off.

Got it to work, thanks.And for anyone who cares, re-triggering this sound will NOT make it shut off if the "not looped" flag is checked.

Yes, that's because he has a old fgd in the new fgds it is called is not toggeld.Uhh, so are you saying that with the new fgd you can turn on and off sounds that have cue points while the "not toggled" flag on the ambient_generic is checked? Or are you just pointing out that the TFC fgd hasn't been updated lately? I didn't catch your point.

No,the "is not looped" flag is just called "is not toggeld".

Oh, yeah I know. I guess I was confused when you said "that's because he has a old fgd" -- It really seemed like you were saying that the problem was fixed in the "new fgd" (since no one was asking about, or seemed confused about the name of the flag).
