Stop all sounds in this sprite block or stop a certain sound

JelliBeens-1

Workaround:

define stop sound (sound)
set [sound to stop v] to (sound)
set [sound clone? v] to (1)
create clone of [myself v]
set [sound to stop v] to (0)

when I start as a clone
if <(sound clone?) = [1]> then 
hide
set volume to (0) %
play sound (sound to stop)
delete this clone
else
. . . // Other clones' scripts go here.
end

this is a good idea it will make scratch easier to use so I support it

ImmortalJelly13

honestly this is just a simple idea that would make scratch a tiny bit better.
This has my full support.

bump + support, this can make adding multiple theme songs way easier

Workaround:

Have an invisible sprite, and have other sprites broadcast a message when they want to create a sound.

Put this in the sprite with the sounds:

when I receive [start sound v] :: control
create sound (...::grey)
define create sound (sound)
set [mySound v] to (sound) // for this sprite only
set volume to (...::grey) %
create clone of [myself v] :: events
when I start as a clone :: events
start sound (mySound) :: sound
repeat (... :: grey) ::events // adjust this value depending on the length of your sound so that it keeps looping until just after the sound ends
if <should this sound end? :: grey> then :: events
set volume to (0) %
end
end
delete this clone::events

Also, this could be useful for a looping sound that you want to end at a specific point.

generally a workaround is not the best reason to not implement a suggestion, especially one as (relatively) complex as this

i'm not saying that the scratch team should not implement the stop sound ( v) block, it's just a workaround for it if we don't get it/before we get it

Support. Here's how I think the blocks would function:

Stop sounds in sprite

stop sounds in [Sprite1 v] :: sound

This one is pretty self-explanatory. It would stop all sounds in the selected sprite.

Stop specific sound

stop sound [pop v] :: sound

This block also seems simple, but there is one thing we must consider: What if the cat sprite and another sprite have the pop sound in them? I think a good fix for this would be to have the dropdown only extend to the sprite currently open. To stop sounds in other sprites, you could just do this.

Sprite code:

broadcast [stop Sprite2 sounds v]

Other sprite code:

when I receive [stop Sprite2 sounds v]
stop sound [pop v] :: sound

If anyone has any other ideas, I'll try to add them here.

You know, just because it has a workaround, doesn't mean everybody knows the workaround, Or that the workaround is easy.

He said that he isn't trying to undermine the suggestion, he's just providing us with a workaround to use if the suggestion isn't implemented.

All he said was “workaround:”
