Hello Gerry,
>From the docs:
"If no audio clip is playing, the sound function returns done"
If you don't have any other sounds playing you could set up a "send in time"
loop to check if the sound was done which would be more efficient than using
idle.
For example:
local lPendingMessageQueue
--> your code here
-- begin playing your sound here
send IsSoundDone to me in 200 millisec -- or whatever time span works best
-- capture the "send" message ID here if you want to cancel it later
put CR & the result after lPendingMessageQueue
--> more of your code here
command IsSoundDone
if the sound is done then
-- hide the button
-- possibly cancel any pending message IDs if this command is sent
from multiple sources
-- put empty into lPendingMessageQueue
else
-- check again in a little bit
send IsSoundDone to me in 200 millisec -- or whatever time span works
best
end if
end IsSoundDone
Note: this is untested pseudo code off the cuff...
