okay, so here’s the deal. when the character is sprinting, i want to play a looping sound and have a trail effect going at the same time. both work perfectly fine, neither have any problems, but i can’t get them to work at the same time. i can only have a trail effect without sound or only a looping sound without the afterimages behind the player. does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? ---

I don’t have much of an idea, but maybe your music block should be set to ‘play in background’? ---
