Having trouble with sounds!

In one scene, I have two characters having a “stare-down”. When I zoom back and forth between the characters, I use the sound “gunshot”. However, the sound gets cut off when I preview it in the app and it sounds weird. Here’s my script:
@MONICA is jazzhands
sound gunshot
@zoom on 888 394 to 1182% in 0
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
sound off
&zoom reset
&cut to zone 2
@zoom on 582 494 to 523% in 0
sound gunshot
&STELLA is idle_angry_arms_crossed
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
sound off
&cut to zone 3
&zoom reset
sound gunshot
&MONICA is talk_sheepish
@zoom on 902 415 to 514% in 0
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
&cut to zone 2
&zoom reset
sound gunshot
&STELLA is arms_crossed_angry
@zoom on 582 494 to 523% in 0
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat

As you can see, I leave plenty of pauses so the sound can carry out, and I have an action after the sound because I read somewhere that that helps. I have to have the code “sound off” otherwise the next sound won’t play at all. Any help is welcome! Thanks!

You don’t have to put “sound off”

That’s what I thought at first, but if I don’t put “sound off” the next sound won’t play at all :confused:

Put pause for a beat

6

I’ll try that!

7

It didn’t work :confused: Another note, the sounds are fine in the portal preview but on the app preview they don’t work

8

I already have two and another pause would make the stares too long for my liking… I’ll try it if nothing else works

Okay, I won’t be publishing for a while so I’ll wait and see :slight_smile:

I think it is music off instead of sound off

16

The “gunshot” isn’t music, it’s sound, so using music off wouldn’t affect the sound

17

I think it is still music off no matter what

19

Okay

Thanks for your suggestion though!

You’re welcome :heart:

Maybe I will… Thank you and everyone else!
