I'm assuming I need to modify this, but I am not very Lua fluent. Can anyone help with how to get it to reset with each life (like if my player dies and respawns at the start marker)? I want the sound loop I am using to play just like the first life.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

+ Code Snippet

g_ambienceinzone_soundlooping = 0

function ambienceinzone_init(e)
end

function ambienceinzone_main(e)
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
  if g_ambienceinzone_soundlooping ~= e then
   StopSound(g_ambienceinzone_soundlooping,0)
   LoopNon3DSound(e,0)
   ActivateIfUsed(e)
   g_ambienceinzone_soundlooping = e
  end
 end
end

use the normal sound zone , and place it over your start maker
then modify the soundinzone.lua like this.

+ Code Snippet

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Player Enters Sound Zone

function soundinzone_init(e)
end

function soundinzone_main(e)
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
  PlaySound(e,0)
  --Destroy(e)
  ActivateIfUsed(e)
 end
end

basically you need a script that detects when the player dies (set it always active = yes)
check_death.lua

+ Code Snippet

function check_death_init(e)
end
function check_death_main(e)
if g_PlayerHealth < 1 then
g_ambienceinzone_soundlooping = 0
end
end

@PCS - there was a reason I used the Ambience Zone instead of the Sound Zone. Right now, I can't remember.

@smallg - Do I just put this script in a rock or something - like how in Unity you use an empty object?

Thanks to you both. I'll try using one or the other thing.
Cheers

UPDATE: I used Both of your scripts. I did place the smallg snippet in a rock, and I changed out the Ambience Zone for the Sound Zone, with the commented out destroy command from PCS. Thank you! My game is now ready for beta testing!
