  We'll gain more control over audio playback — including one-shot sounds — with forthcoming audio scripting support... stay tuned!

  It's supported. You can now use a script to trigger one-shots, depending on what you are trying to accomplish? Are you trying to have a non-looped sound play once depending on a specific event?

  For example, https://help.sansar.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003263206-Example-Script-Sound-Randomizer can use sounds that are not loops.

  And check out https://help.sansar.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115018117163-Colaborative-Keyboard-Music-Experience-WIP- :)

  More "hooks" to connect sounds to events will be coming, like when we get more robust networked physics support, collisions can trigger sounds.

  I have one-shots in my door script for open and close events.

  // User-editable setting
  public SoundResource OpenSound;
  
    ...
  
  if (OpenSound != null) {
    ScenePrivate.PlaySound(OpenSound, PlaySettings.PlayOnce);
  }

  ..So with these scripts we don't need to use the built in Audio? I was referring to...

  Torley, thanks for your info. I'm trying to trigger a one-shot-sound (no loop) when the user/avatar gets near an object or enter a zone. Please, anybody has an example of this kind of script? 

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Cheers

  That is correct, you can leave the "background sound" fields off and just trigger from scripts.

   

  NOTE: Scripted sounds are synched by default, so people who join later will hear the sound from the elapsed time (or they will hear nothing if it's a one-shot and the duration has already elapsed).  If you want everyone to hear a sound in its entirety -regardless of when they joined-, make sure to create your own PlaySettings object and set its DontSync field to true.
