So I made a basic script that plays a sound looping once you enter it. But, when I leave the trigger volume, the sound still plays, is it possible to stop the sound once the player leaves the trigger volume?

Here is all I have:

Let's do a literal play by play of your script.

(script startup "Name Of Script"
(begin
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects "Name of Trigger Volume" (players)) 15)
(sound_looping_start "Name of .sound_looping" none 1)
)
)

First line. This is a startup script, meaning your script will only execute once.
Second line. The begin is unnecessary, and can and will cause problems in the future.
Third line. You're sleeping until a player enters the trigger volume before executing the fourth line. Not sure if this is what you want. Read
Fourth line. You start playing the sound looping. This doesn't include ending it when you leave the trigger volume.

To suit your needs, I'm assuming that you want the script to play the sound looping every time you enter the trigger volume, and cut it once you leave.

(script continuous playshiz
(if
(volume_test_objects tvol (players))
(begin
(sound_looping_start soundloop none 1)
(sleep_until (not (volume_test_objects (players))) 15)
(sound_looping_stop soundloop)
)
)
)

Else, just use a startup, in your format, with an extra sleep until after you begin playing the sound looping, to end the sound looping.

Well a new problem here, I want the sound to only play to the client, not the server, is that possible? Also, it plays multiple instances of the sound when I walk in and out because my sound permutation is 2-3 seconds each.

I think it will only play for the client, because it checks for the player, which is the person playing.

With your sound compression, it would be easier to just compile the entire sound into 1 ogg file with no permutations, then put it into a sound_looping. For some reason I have always had trouble with multiple permutations of a sound inside the loop portion of a sound_looping file.

Well, I tested this sound, and when I went ingame with my friend, he went into the trigger volume and the sound played for both of us.

Lol, I have no idea then.
I didn't know sound_loopings not attached to objects sync'd.
