• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Start and stop sounds with a toggle switch

Does anyone have a example how to trigger a sound with a toggle switch and then stop the sound when toggle off?
I played around with this for far to long, before spotting that the .lua loses reference to the sound so cant stop it, but happily starts another one!
Code: 
function playme (path)
    if(sound.query(path))
        then
            -- do nothing
        else
              PumpSound = sound.play(path)
          end 
end
 
 
-- external toggle switch
if ipcPARAM == 1 then    --    Toggle ON
    playme("ElectricPump.wav")
end
 
if ipcPARAM == 0 then    --    Toggle OFF
    sound.stop("ElectricPump.wav")
end

The sound file is about 10 seconds long, up to now I have just been using 1 second clicks etc so never needed a stop!
