Yes, you can get the sound to stop playing the same way. You use and control the sound in the exact same way as you do in the world. As for the leaf count, create an integer that keeps track of how many leaves the wombat has eaten. Write code to test for a leaf that intersects the wombats image. If there is a leaf, then remove it and add to the wombat's leaf count. At the same time, check if the wombat's leaf count is 8. If it is, then play the sound.

Declare an int variable before the act method like this: Inside your act method, declare another variable that checks for a nearby leaf like this: Now you need to check if the leaf is there like this: Inside the curly brackets, remove the leaf and add 1 to leafCount like this: Still inside the curly brackets, directly below the "leafCount++;" line, check if leafCount equals 8, like this: Inside those curly brackets is where you put your code to play a sound and pause the game and whatever else you want to do when the wombat eats eight leaves.

Change to or you will remove the wombat.

Oops :P Yeah. Do what Super_Hippo said. Although if you ever do need to remove an actor using the "removeObject(this)" line of code, make sure to put "return;" on the next line to avoid the actor trying to do anything else that would require the actor to be in the world.

Wait, who eats whom? If you have a reference to the sound object, you can stop it with the 'stop' or 'pause' method. danpost explained the procedure how to play a sound quite descriptive on the first page.

ok the WOMBAT the LEAVES the EWOKK eats the WOMBAT I tried that and it didnt play
