Hi. I'm not exactly sure what to do here then, maybe I can write the script but if folks want to use it they have to copy a portion of it into what ever their main loop is. I figured I could write the script and a user could use it's functions, but if it's going to need to run without haulting other loops just including the file won't work.

However, the sound object has asynchronous methods so that your script will not block while the method in question is executing. There is the play method which, when called, will just start the playback of the sound and then return control to your script immediately. you can then go into a loop and check the playing property of this sound in every cycle, while simultaneously performing any other tasks in the same loop. What I'm trying to say is, you are not restricted to performing just one operation inside your loop, checking if the sound is playing can be one of 10 things that you do. So while the BGT engine does not at this time support threads or co-routines, there's nothing stopping you from accomplishing what you want with just one loop. Q9 is a good example of this, I do hundreds of things at once there without blocking.
