Hello, i’m trying to figure out what “soundID” is.
Example
PlaySoundFromEntity(-1, "DRYER", wash_machine, "CARWASH_SOUNDS", 0, 0)
Here I play a sound from my wash_machine entity with -1 as soundID.
So, i tried the same with
PlaySoundFromEntity(50, "DRYER", wash_machine, "CARWASH_SOUNDS", 0, 0)
And then i wanted to stop the sound with thoses two natives
ReleaseSoundId(50)
StopSound(50)
But none of theses natives are stopping the sound so, maybe I don’t understand how to use the soundID ?

Hello, this is a snippet I came up with once when I was trying things with sounds :
local soundId = GetSoundId()
PlaySoundFrontend(soundId, "SPRAY", "CARWASH_SOUNDS", true)
Wait(3000)
StopSound(soundId)
ReleaseSoundId(soundId)
This one will automatically stop the sound after 3000ms.

Oh ok, thanks, so what GetSoundId() really does ? It generates a new sound id instance ?

From what I saw, it seems to get an available sound id yeah.
Ok, thanks a lot for the answer, code worked !

An alternative to waiting is using this native, which can be very useful:

Thank you! I’ll surely use it when I’ll mess with sounds again
