How would I make a soundblock loop forever?
I've made alarms for my bases, but I don't like how every 30 minutes I have to go out and reset all of the sounds that I have. It would be really really helpful if there is a way I could have an infinite looping soundblock/sound.

Do this for each sound system you want to keep running. Then add all those timers to a single timer block that will restart all the sounds at once.

Make another that can turn them all off

Thanks!! I guess that will work perfectly because they are all in several timer blocks.

Ok, I still dont entirely understand. Could you possibly send me a screenshot of what the timer block gui looks like when you add all of that in?

So, what was the fix? I am trying to do the same thing.

Helpful hint: State your solution to the problem so others can apply it too. Saying "Nevermind I solved the issue" doesn't help anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Heres the steps id use to do it....

Timer Block Sound

Action 1 - Play sound
Action 2 - Start Timer Block Sound (this creates a loop where it will continually trigger itself at the set interval)

Finally set your desired interval and start the timer. Should wait X seconds, play sound, start itself again, wait X seconds, play sound, ect ect untill you stop it :)

I haven't played this game in a while, but I remember that I'm pretty sure that my way wouldn't work, and I don't even remember how I did it at this point, sorry.
