I have a gauge to detect the events, but I need to know how to play the sound -ONLY- ONE time. The event stays up for a while, so it keeps repeating the sound.For instance using part of my gauge below to detect when the Glideslope Becomes active, usually about 24 miles from touchdown when it detects the NAV1 (ILS) frequency.--if{(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID,bool)if{1 (>L:snd_2,enum)Big picture is I'm just trying to play sounds for (GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE), (LOCALIZER ALIVE), (GLIDESLOPE ALIVE), and (GLIDESLOPE CAPTURED) and for them to play just one time.Thanks in advanceLKL

Try adding (L:snd_2,enum) 1 == if{ 0 (>L:snd_2,enum) }That should turn it off

Or this:(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 1 ==(L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) 0 == &&if{1 (> L:snd_2, enum)1 (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool)}(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 0 ==if{0 (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool)}

I'll just mention that there's a forum just down a few levels dedicated to such questions about aircraft, panel and gauge design... :(

I tried your suggestion but (L:snd_2,enum) 1 == if{ 0 (>L:snd_2,enum) } will not produce any sound. I have to use as shown below in order to have sound. Here is part of my code<Element><Select> <Value> (L:GAState,number) 2 == I come into this gauge from another gauge and snd1_86 is my actual sound in my sounds.ini file if{ (A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID,bool) if{ 1 (>L:snd1_86,enum -or- 1 (>L:snd1_86,enum (==> will give constant repeats of the sound until the condition goes away. I tried every condition using your example but still no fix. Tried to use wothanfja16 suggestion but with no sucess. I will keep trying) </Value> </Select></Element>SUMMARY: I don't get any sounds, unless I use the 2 above and preceeded with the following==> if{ 1 (>L or 1 (>L:Thanks

I said "adding", not substituting.. your code will start the sound,the additional line will turn it off.(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 1 ==(L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, number) 0 == andif{ 1 (> L:snd_2, enum)(L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, number) 1 + (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, number)}(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 0 == (L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, number) 0 > andif{ 0 (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) }(L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, number) 10 == if{ 0 (>L:snd_2,enum) }This will play the sound for 10 cycles of the gauge - you can choose this larger or smaller...this is assuming that 1 turns the sound on and 0 turns the sound off.

Actually Bert, the 1 only triggers the sound to play once. There's no need to turn it off at all. It's enough to simply quit sending a 1 to the sound trigger! :Nerd:Your solution will still work of course, but the entry for stopping the sound is unnecessary and will simply be ignored.

OK - thanks for clearing that up!In that case:(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 1 ==(L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) 0 == andif{ 1 (> L:snd_2, enum)1 (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) }(A:HSI CDI NEEDLE VALID, bool) 0 == (L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) andif{ 0 (> L:snd_2_hasbeenplayed, bool) }

Your post above:I don't see the word "GAUGE" in the forum. I just see==>'MSFS Aircraft and Panel Design Forum'Maybe it should read as==> Designing panels and gauges for aircraft in the MSFS series?Just a suggestion.I did re-post it in that forum with hopefully a better explanation on what I was trying to accomplish ThanksLKL
