Stopping Lantern Sound ?

Hello, hopefully someone will read this

I need to silence the On/Off Lantern sound. What I suspect is that it is very much possible using StopSound.

For that, however, I need the sound's internal name - not the .ogg name which is listed in the game.cfg file (ui_lantern_on etc)

So, do you have any ideas how to find that name ? I tried "Show sounds playing" in the debug menu, but it only shows the .ogg name.
Maybe there's a way to get it from the game's engine ? But where would that be ?

That should be the actual name (there's no internal name besides the one showing on the "show sounds playing" info). How are you trying to stop these?

I think Darkfire tried that. The "Show sounds playing" seems to display the filename for whatever sound is played rather than the internal names. StopSound won't work with that, no?

RE: Stopping Lantern Sound ?

Yes, that's what I did:

StopSound("ui_lantern_off", 0.0f);
//I also tried this:
StopSound("ui_lantern_off.snt", 0.0f);
//same with the on sounds.
This didn't work however.
If I recall correctly, I used that code in SetLanternLitCallback. When I think about it, maybe a looping timer might help, but...

StopSound(string& asSoundName, float afFadeTime);
PlaySoundAtEntity(string& asSoundName, string& asSoundFile, string& asEntity, float afFadeTime, bool abSaveSound);
StopSound requires asSoundName, and when using the "Show sounds playing" it only shows the asSoundFile (I checked that with other sounds I set up).
So if the UI sounds don't have such names, what I'm trying to achieve might be impossible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PS. I was trying to refer to .snt, not .ogg, in the previous post
