Ok im playing a large wav file when im in location 1.

What I want to do is this:

If the player types 'in' i want to stop the first sample thats playing and play a new sample turboliftdoor.wav
Also if the player types out i want to play a sample turboliftdoor.wav

Can you stop and start samples by referring to what the user types. i.e. they type a direction and it plays a sound.

Thanks

Sure. To do that you would need to 'override' the standard default RESPONSE entry for "go %directn1%" - the basic entry which controls movements between locations in the game...
That means you must put your custom "go XXX" entries ABOVE that one , so it will trigger and execute before the standard entry gets to be processed.

So you need to construct entries very similar to these (with your room numbers of course):


[start]go in#room=XXX[acts]playsampleturboliftdoor.wav#gotoXXX[end]

[start]go out#room=XXX[acts]playsampleturboliftdoor.wav#gotoXXX[end]

action "gotoX" - puts player in stated room and automatically describes it

Hope this helps

Phil.
