Script function

world.StopSound

Type

Method

Summary

Stop playing a sound started by PlaySound

Prototype

long StopSound(short Buffer);

Description

Stops one, or all, sound buffers from playing.

It is not necessary to call this for non-looping sounds, which stop of their own accord anyway, however doing so would free up the memory used by the sound.

The buffer argument specifies which buffer to stop (1 to 10) or 0 to stop all sound buffers playing.

Available in MUSHclient version 4.28 onwards.

VBscript example

StopSound 0  ' Stop playing all sounds
StopSound 1 ' Stop playing sound buffer #1

Lua example

StopSound (0)  -- Stop playing all sounds
StopSound (1)  -- Stop playing sound buffer #1

Lua notes

The buffer number is optional and defaults to zero, which will stop all sounds from playing.

Return value

eBadParameter: Buffer number outside range 0 to 10
eOK: Requested buffer(s) have been stopped.
