I think I saw a topic in this site about this, but I've been looking for days and couldn't find it. How do you stop a WAV. in the middle of it playing? I've been told you have to cut it up and play them all together then when you want to stop it it stops at one of the pieces, but I really dont wanna do that 
is there any other way?

Yeah but that doesn't stop the wav file from playing.

Stop spamming. That trigger does not do what he wants so stop trying to explain it. Have you even tried to stop a sound halfway through? Just so you know, what you posted doesn't work.
He wants to stop a sound and all you do is tell him how to prevent a sound from playing in the first place.

qPirateKing is right you can't stop it halfway through. You should learn to call him master, like I.
Also I noticed your skill is 'Advanced' when you still ask for help on a simple fact like this. I advise you at least change it to 'Average'.

U 2 stop fighting, Xeno stop taking side because I brought cake today!
These small words can lead to a flame war so let's stop it now. Pirate you could have said stop spamming in a nicer way than that. How about just taking that "stop spamming" section out. Nycz, you really didn't need to post that other part about his intelligence.
Anyway, I believe the only way TO stop a wav is to play a soundless sound (ironic eh), repeatedly using hyper triggers. Why would you need this though? Does you map require this?
Again, we don't need to take sides with people, we are all mappers and we come to give advice and get some, preferably in a polite way. If they want to keep their settings to advanced, let them, hell I keep mine at none.

Na that would just cause it to lag a lot Relvade (depending on how much your playing it). Besides wav sounds overlap so unless your 'soundless sound' is louder than the currently playing one you will hear the first one uninterrupted.
nyczdigga, stopping the conditions of a trigger from being true doesn't stop the wav from playing, or stop the trigger for that matter (in the way of waits other blocking actions). Maybe you should think of the Play Wav action as "Start Playing Wav" instead.
Also do not make post that entirely consist of comments like " It looks like your not smart." I should warn you for saying things like that but I'm feeling nice today.

I wish Blizzard will code up the Map Editors with a button that says "Stop WAV" or someone make an Map editor with that kind of trigger. I'm not sure you could do that anyways.

No you can't make your own triggers, even thu hex editing or if you create your own map editor. The triggers are coded into starcraft itself.

Well just to reinforce what everyone has said I have tried multiple times to stop a wav halfway thru it doesn't work.

You just dont get it... Once it starts playing, it doesn't stop untill the wav is finished! The only way to stop it half way through is to cut it up into small peices and play them consecutively...

Thats even worse, you even check how you do your triggers? That would have it overlapping and within a few seconds masses of lag would appear. Starcraft plays can play the same song over itself, useful function.
Read the Map Making Tricks & Help for how to actually make a correct looping system, and simply add the part to get it to play once then stop if you unit isn't on the location or continue if it is, without having any switches, use the Bring Condition! Shock horror!

Looping wavs do not work MOST of the time (notice I never said it was impossible). People eventual get fed up with the wav since it's short. Blizz music can be looped because it's longer so you don't hear repeated sections as often. My advice: don't loop music everywhere in the game, it gets annoying.
