Simple way to loop sound effect X number of times?

Hi guys

Just wondering whether I'm missing a simple way of looping a sound effect, let's say 3 times.

As far as a I can tell, the only way to do this is either use a counter and play the sound again once the it's finished, or turn looping off after X seconds.

Turning looping off after X seconds is an OK option, I'm however using a 'sfx' tag already for my volume control, and can't seem to use multiple tags - in order to turn looping off for that particular sound.

Any ideas?

Thank you heaps in advance!

Add a global variable that counts the loop.(sfxLoopCount)

Have a condition that

If sfxLoopCount < 3

AND

(AUDIO)Is tag "sfx" NOT Playing

-> play audio "abc" (tag "sfx")

-> Add 1 to sfxLoopCount

Cheers

Hi Maverick1912

Thank you for the suggestion, it however still leaves me with the clashing problem.

Since I have all my sound effects tagged as 'sfx', it means that the pseudo code in your suggestion would trigger any sound effect tagged 'sfx', and not just the Siren sound.

I feel like there must be a simple way to do this - maybe editing the file and looping it 3x in Audacity would be the best solution.

I would however like to know, whether there is a way to solve this while still being able to use my 'sfx' tag, for muting sound effects.

Thanks again!
