i want to have wavs instead of midis. i have 5 songs totalling 7 mb which is enough for the game, but the problem is i cant figure out how to stop them from playing when i want them to. i cant find any examples where wavs are used for the soundtrack and the dinkc.txt uses void sound_set_kill(int bank); but i cant get this to work. what should i use for the int bank?

Create a global variable called &song; or something similar.
Then, at the start of the song, use this:
&song = playsound(blahblah);
Then, &song is the 'bank', and you can use sound_set_kill and sound_set_vol to control the wav file.
