(pattonsteel) Playsound status

[real radish]

Hello, I'm looking for a way to check the status of an NPC playing a sound. I've rigged up an NPC to play a music disc upon request like so:

chat trigger:
1:
    trigger: /Blocks|Cat|Chirp|Creator|Far|Mall|Mellohi|Otherside|Pigstep|Precipice|Relic|Stal|Strad|Wait|Ward/
    hide trigger message: true
    show as normal chat: false
    script:
    - playsound <npc.location> sound:music_disc_<context.keyword>

Essentially, I'd like to prevent players from playing a new track before the previous one is finished. I thought I was onto something with the tag, <npc[19].silent>, but it seems like the playsound is not attached to the npc.

Any ideas? Worst case I'll just hard code the various times of each music disk

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

to my knowledge you cant cancel a playsound

unless you disable the certain type of sound for the player

!m stop_sound

[sand viper]

Mechanism: stop_sound

Stops all sounds of the specified type for the player.
Valid types are AMBIENT, BLOCKS, HOSTILE, MASTER, MUSIC, NEUTRAL, PLAYERS, RECORDS, VOICE, and WEATHER
Instead of a type, you can specify a full sound key, which usually has the 'minecraft:' prefix.
If no sound type is specified, all types will be stopped.

Object

PlayerTag

Input

ElementTag

I'm trying to check to see if a sound is playing, not cancel a sound, but I think the way forward is for me to create a queue with listTags

[tawdry tapir]

ah yeah thats probably all you can do

I'll put up what I come up with for the next person that runs into this I guess

[tawdry tapir]

!e on player hears sound

[sand viper]

Player

Event Lines

Switches

key:<sound_key> to only process the event if the sound matches the modern Minecraft sound key.

<context.sound_name> returns an ElementTag of the sound's Bukkit name.
<context.category> returns the name of the category the sound is from.

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

you could maybe use that for each sound

i wonder if you can ge tthe durection somehow

<context.source_entity>

hmm maybe there could be a tag for this as a feature req

for anyone interested, I just hard coded the lengths of songs, set a flag to expire at the end of each song, and would check to see if something is in progress
