This code I THOUGHT would play a sound when I hit the "j" key.

Instead, it plays at startup and if i do press the "j" key, the engine aborts with "acknex.exe has encountered a problem..."!

Is this not the right code for it?

Code:

on_j= smb_jump();

...

function smb_jump()
{
	snd_play (jump_snd,100,0);
}


I already tried a while() loop, but all that does is play the sound every frame cycle, and that gets really annoying.

So, can anyone help?



Common mistake.

on_j = smb_jump(); // This *runs* the function smb_jump, and assigns its return to on_j

on_j = smb_jump; // This assigns the function itself to on_j


You want the second one.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience
