You must use time, second/ms100 hook or anything about time. Do a true parameter whenever sound starts. Save its second duration at another parameter. Then do something like when that duration parameter bigger than 0, reduce it by 1 at second hook. When duration parameter reached to 0, then false the first parameter I said.
You can do it even using only duration parameter.

par1 = false
par2 = 0
function sound_(path)
if par1 then return end
parse("sv_sound ...")
par1 = true
par2 = SOUND'S SECOND DURATION
end
addhook("second","sec")
function sec()
if par2 > 0 then
par2 = par2 - 1
else
par1 = false
end
end
par2 = 0
function sound_(path)
if par1 then return end
parse("sv_sound ...")
par1 = true
par2 = SOUND'S SECOND DURATION
end
addhook("second","sec")
function sec()
if par2 > 0 then
par2 = par2 - 1
else
par1 = false
end
end
You can do it even using only duration parameter.

By killing and @ Masea: your method is too hard I have like 20 or more sounds and they are all triggered randomly

Yeah but each kill triggers a random sound and has a chance to trigger even more sounds like double kill + godlike and other players might kill as well and this will also show images on screen so I really need to check if it's playing a sound...

@ Mami Tomoe: Try this code, I'm not sure if this is what you are demanding.
You can put more sound files in the table by providing its name, extension and path.

Kill has a chance to play a sound or more
For example:
Double kill!
Legendary!
and other players might kill as well so I don't want the sounds to play all together so plz is there a way to just CHECK if a sound is being played?? plz @ DC: or anyyyy @ Omghelpme:

@ Mami Tomoe: What about if the sound plays only for the killer? Will that solve your issue?

timerDo you want to hear the ignored sounds after the current sound has ended?
(Example: while "doublekill" is playing, someone did a tripple kill so after "doublekill" has ended, youll hear a "tripplekill")
autor has written:

Yes, if you keep track of the time. You can make a function like getCurrentSound().

I edited @ Bowlinghead:'s code so it uses a queue:
The kill hook is just an example. You call the queueSound function whenever you need to play a sound, and then the ms100 hook will take care of playing the sounds in order.
PS: not tested.
PS 2: Queueing many sounds in short intervals will cause a total mess. So be careful.

@ Zeik: Thank you! It seems like it might work 
Hello!!! < This is an edit!
I added this function because I need it to play sometimes to one player only
But when I use it the game freeze ( stuck in while!
)
plz help thx

@ Mami Tomoe: I don't know what you're trying to do but it won't work like that because the while loop will only end when isSoundRunning is false (is the only if block that changes temp state). So when it's true it's an infinite loop, thus the game freezes.

I need a function that will
sv_sound2
because the code only supports sv_sound

I don't know how costly it is to have a private queue for each player but it's what you're needing.
Here's the complete code:
Again, it's not tested.
PS: Basically, 0 is for global sound, and the rest are private.

It does a lot of errors just spamming red
The previous code worked I just need a function that will send it to a single player
I need support for
plz

There is no Lua command to check if CS2D is still playing a sound. That's because Lua only runs on the server and the server does not render anything or play any sounds at all if it's a headless dedicated server.
In fact this functionality is completely removed from dedicated servers because it's not needed and it might even lead to issues because servers commonly don't have audio and video drivers at all. Therefore the server does not even know the length of the used audio files.
So the only thing you can do is to - like already suggested - save the duration of all audio samples somehow and check the duration manually.
To solve the issue with the per-player sound you could use timer and just put the player ID in as parameter:

This value can then be used in the function called by the timer to play the next sound for the player with that particular ID. 1
