I sent you a better version of my script and the sound emitters which should fix at least the first of your issues, as well as partial explanations/solutions for issues 3 and 4, and I'm not even sure why you're putting your deltaTime so far from default when even slight changes usually cause a bunch of quirks to crop up.

As Bad Boy says it's also more difficult for us to script if we don't have a full understanding of what's required.

It's also, for future reference, really rather irritating when you give up on a project that someone else is taking the time to code for you, simply because the code isn't working perfect, now.

Current version of the script where I have it to anyway, if anyone is interested, stupid non-timer use and all. Emitters should be using EmissionSound to get proper cut-off when the emitters are removed.

I give up. Even with all the help i've gotten, --looping sounds still loop forever, don't loop long enough, over-lap, or crash --sounds go out of sync if delta time isn't so out of whack that guns melt through terrain just laying there. --start sounds based on timers in MS should be synced up with spin-up times that are also in MS... they're not. --there is a delay after spin-up time before the first shot is fired that makes the whole thing go out of sync even worse Long story short, i'm using some of the lua people have provided but the whole thing largely does not work as intended. the end result will be released when I finish updating all my older content, and add enough new additions to make it worth a release.

Why don't you post up the project so whoever fixes on it has something concrete to work with? It's difficult to write a specific script without having the relevant resources and the information they provide.

I've added comments to the lua and the ini's so when I do release it if anyone wants to work on it or make adjustments its easy when I get around to releasing it.

CC is not meant to do audio the way I am trying to do audio. it is not mixing software. I think i've tried pushing it further than it can actually go.
