How can I make a single instrument loop through a script?I have already written this, but it has no effect. Can we only use var region=markerTrack. addRegion (0, asset length, “loop”, studio. project. regionLoopMode. Looping);Do you want to loop like this, but I found looping=false on sound again

asset = getAsset(filepaths[0], o.Asset);  
var sound = track.addSound(event.timeline, ‘SingleSound’, 0, 10);  
sound.audioFile = asset;  
sound.length = asset.length;  
sound.name = o.Event;  
sound.looping = true; // This has no effect

Hi,

What version of FMOD Studio are you using?

Would it be possible to see the whole script? I was able to get an instrument looping so I may be able to advise where we went differently.

version: FMOD Studio 2.02.16

studio.menu.addMenuItem({  
name: “ZXM\Test Loop”,  
execute: function () {  
var event = studio.project.create(“Event”);  
event.name = “TestLoop”;  
var track = event.addGroupTrack();  
var asset = studio.project.importAudioFile(‘F:/sound/test.wav’);  
var singleInstrument = track.addSound(event.timeline, ‘SingleSound’, 0, asset.length);  
singleInstrument.audioFile = asset;  
singleInstrument.name = ‘test’;  
singleInstrument.looping = true;  
}  
});

Similar to this, it has no effect.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the code.

To confirm you are trying to enable looping on the instrument: [FMOD Studio | Working with Instruments - Looping Instruments](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/working-with-instruments.html#looping-instruments).

Using the provided code it worked for me. Is the script creating the event as well as the instrument the only issue is it is not looping?
