The quack repeats, and when I press the mouse again, another repeating duck joins in. Hooray, I made a duck choir sim. But really, why?

+ Code Snippet

SetErrorMode(2)
SetWindowTitle( "Fun" )
SetWindowSize( 640, 640, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 0 )
SetSyncRate( 60, 0 )
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 )

REM Load resources
Ducksnd = LoadSound("ANIMAL_Duck_10_mono.wav")

do
    if GetRawMouseLeftPressed() = 1
		PlaySound(Ducksnd,100,1,0)
		print("played")
	endif
    Sync()
loop

How many times does it repeat.

Does the sound wave genuinely have 1 quack in the file.

Edit

Please try

GetRawMouseLeftReleased

Instead

Yep, one single geniue quack. No clue why it repeats.

Edit: GetRawMouseLeftReleased didn't help any

Please try

GetRawMouseLeftReleased

Instead

Returns 1 when released

Edit

On your playsound you have a 1 on your loop argument

Playsound ( duvksound, 100, 0, 0)

Thanks, nicely spotted! I guess I got the parameters messed up.

Duck choir lol too funny

In the most simple terms you can use this:

+ Code Snippet

if (GetSoundsPlaying(Ducksnd ) = 0)  then  PlaySound(Ducksnd , 0)

What you may want to look at here is using the instance of the sound. Every time you run PlaySound() it is making an instance of that sound and is returning a reference that instance with a unique ID.

+ Code Snippet

SetErrorMode(2)
SetWindowTitle( "Fun" )
SetWindowSize( 640, 640, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 0 )
SetSyncRate( 60, 0 )
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 )
 
REM Load resources

Ducksnd = LoadSound("ANIMAL_Duck_10_mono.wav")
 
do
    if GetRawMouseLeftPressed() = 1
        if (GetSountInstancePlaying(DuckInstance) = 0)
           DuckInstance = PlaySound(Ducksnd,100,1,0)
            print("played")
        endif
    endif
    Sync()
loop

With a reference to the sound instance you can now set all kinds of fun things like SetSoundInstanceBalance(DuckInstance, -1.0) to put it in the left channel or SetSoundInstanceBalance(DuckInstance, 1.0) for the right channel. Set that particular instance's volume with SetSoundInstanceVolume(). And for even more fun try playing with SetSoundInstanceRate() to change the pitch and add your own doppler affect if the duck is flying by you.
