Did you add in any different sounds during the scene?

I added sound in two different scenes.

Do you mind if you can take a screenshot of your script maybe I can detect the problem.

No problem you can just copy and paste a certain part of your script if you want and I’ll try finding it there.

Alright so if you don’t want your music to cut off to early try using music instead of the sound command. When you use the sound command it’s for one time sounds but if use the music command it loops and can go on forever until you command it to make it stop.

For one time sounds:

sound sound_name

For looping sound (usually for music):

music sound_name

To turn off the sound or music:

sound off
music off

To change the volume of the sound or music:

volume sound x T
volume music x T

x is the volume level from 0 to 100
T is time in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds is 1 second)

Of course, if I don’t answer that probably means I am asleep. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, that’s how you’ll learn :slight_smile:

If you need tips on coding, youtube has a bunch of tutorials.
