[Trigger] Fixing Sound leak

[Dougletron]

How do i get rid of a sound leak without destroying the sound completely? When i destroy my sound variable the first time it is use, it cant ever be played again.

You don't need to assign a sound variable to a sound.
Just play the sound and destroy it right after it.
The sound will still finish playing.

Yes but when i destroy the sound..it doesnt work anymore after the first time it is played and destroyed

It's a custom sound

• Actions
  • Sound - Play Tension <gen>
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Sound - Stop Tension <gen> Immediately
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Sound - Play Tension <gen>

This works.

I made a sound system for that in vjass

[JASS="Usage Example:"]

globals
string SounD = ""MetalHeavySliceMetal""
endglobals

//! runtextmacro RegisterSound("BS","60","SounD")

function SomeFunction takes nothing returns nothing
call PlayBS(x,y,z)
endfunction[/code]

this is only for sound labels and they need to be 3D sound

1st value of macro ("BS" is function tag)
2. ("60") is maximum number of handles for that label
3. ("SounD") variable for sound

I made it variable name instead of label itself because for setups most people use global variables so it gets easy to change everything in a single part of code
