If this is the case all I beleive you would have to do is set up a conditional statement that will check if the same ambeince is already playing. Sinse there is no way to be able to get the music playing you will have to get creative and use intigers.

So, how we could accomplish this is that we would take all of the script areas that have your problem and make it so it adds 1 to a intiger (considering it isn't already 1) that you would have already defined. And then when walking into an area that plays the same ambeince that is already playing you could make it so that if your intiger is equal to one it won't start the ambeince. And then just make it so when you go into any other script area it will set it back to 0.

Sorry if my reply looks like gibberish to you. I am very tired. But if this doesn't make sense I can explain it more with the actual script as a reference. Good luck!

So in your case of two areas that the player may go from one to the other, the song wouldn't stop cause he entered one of the areas, it finds it's the same and keeps playing.

This only applies to music, so you should use PlayMusic function instead of PlaySound:
PlayMusic( "my_theme_001.ogg", false, 0.1f, 1.0f, 0, true );

Spoiler below!

PlayMusic( file, loop?, volume, fade, priority, resume? );

If a given set of areas play a different theme each, when the player steps into one, it's gonna stop the current song and start another.

In your function AmbienceHandler you can have this:

Spoiler below!

PHP Code:

void AmbienceHandler ( string &in p, string &in asArea, int s )
{
 string myTheme = "";

     if ( asArea == "AmbientScriptKitchen" ) { myTheme == "theme_kitchen.ogg"; }
     if ( asArea == "AmbientScriptOutside" ) { myTheme == "theme_outside.ogg"; }
     if ( asArea == "AmbientScriptGallery" ) { myTheme == "theme_gallery.ogg"; }

PlayMusic( myTheme, false, 0.1f, 1.0f, 0, true ); 
} 


This way you can point all your ambient callbacks to the same function AmbienceHandler and just add a condition to change the name of the file.

I'm sure this is supposed to be:

PHP Code:

if (alState == -1) {
         StopSound("Ambience01", 1.0f) }
   } 


?


Anyway, if I understood correctly every script area calls the same AmbienceHandler function?

If yes, you can try giving a number value to each area depending on what music it needs to trigger. It'll be assigned to a variable when an area is entered. The sound functions will not be called if the value of the int matches the value assigned to the area. The two areas that play the same ambience will have the same value.

PHP Code:

int ambienceType = 0;

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AmbientScriptAreaBlue1", "AmbienceHandler", false, 0);

void AmbienceHandler (string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) {
   if (asChild == "AmbientScriptAreaBlue1") {
      if (ambienceType == 1) {
         return;
      }
      else {
         if (alState == 1) {
            ambienceType = 1;
            PlaySoundAtEntity("Ambience01", "amb_xx_xx.snt", "Player", 1.0f, true) 
         }
         if (alState == -1) {
            StopSound("Ambience01", 1.0f) 
         }
      }
   }
}
