ok i have a simple pickup item, i want a sound to play while this item is being picked up. but instead of just playing once it loops, i must have it wrong:

action Ring_illumi_pickup
{

while (player == null) {wait (1);}
my.passable = on;
while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 100) {wait (1);}
my.invisible = on;
my.lightred = 255;
my.lightgreen = 0;
my.lightblue = 0;
while (1)
{
snd_play (creepsnd, 80, 0);
wait(-3);{
snd_stop (creepsnd);}
}

can you guys help me out?

and yes i have "sound creepsnd = <creepsnd.wav>;" at the top:P

Hi!

This part of your code will work forever

while (1)
{
snd_play (creepsnd, 80, 0);
wait(-3);{
snd_stop (creepsnd);}
}

var pickup_snd_handle = 0;

action Ring_illumi_pickup
{

while (player == null) {wait (1);}
my.passable = on;
while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 100) {wait (1);}
while (1)
{
if(!snd_playing(pickup_snd_handle))
{
pickup_snd_handle = snd_play (creepsnd, 80, 0);
}
wait(-3);{
snd_stop (creepsnd);}
}

oh my god pappen that works great! tell me, what did i do wrong?

EDIT: ok now the thing i made it do while pressing the f key dosent work, it only plays the sound again.
