Countdowns and timeouts

[Shark111]

Hello all,
I have a simple trigger, set as switch and activated by the west inside the trigger area. It simply plays the alarm of a base, but something is going wrong. I want it to play the alarm sound for 30 seconds at the mission beginning (the player starts inside its area) and then stay quiet for ever, so I put 30 in the max, min and middle camps, then choose Timeout. Well, it waits 30 seconds than starts playng the alarm (no way to stop it&#33
I know it is not logic, but I tried also with the countdown, and the result was the same!
What's up now? Furthermore, if I get out the trigger's area, is it deactivated or not?

In stead of using the alarm in the effects dropdown menu use the playsound "alarm" command in the onAct-line.
If one siren sound is not enough make a little scriptlet to repeat it a few times.
