hello i have been using this tool but I have a problem when using variations. The sound group when played again stops the previous variation not allowing the audio clip to fully complete playing. I want to know how can i make it play a different variation while the earlier variation is not yet done playing?

Sounds like you may be using Dialog Mode? That one is supposed to work like that. Check the Variation Mode field on your Sound Group.

I am using normal mode at the moment. So what happens is that once the group is triggered to play once again the current variation that is playing is stopped and plays a different variation of the same sound group.

You'd have to show me a screen shot of the entire inspector for the sound group. Then I can probably tell you why that is.
Actually, you may have set up the Bus for that Sound Group for that behavior. Show a screen shot of the Bus as well.

Thanks. I can't see that Variation(s) on that Sound Group though. Show me that part of the Inspector too. Also, which Bus is this Sound Group assigned to? Only the Master Audio Mixer shows that. The Sound Group settings look fine, nothing weird there.

Ok, your Voices(Weight) field for both Variations is 1. So that means you can only play each of those once at a time. Then the Bus limits to 3 voices (which isn't possible with just that Sound Group, that would be 2 voices), and stops the oldest sound when you try to play voice #4, if that happens.
If you are seeing something different, turn on "Log Sounds" for the Sound Group and look at the Console for clues. Otherwise, you will need to send me a stripped down Scene that reproduces the problem.
Thanks,
Brian

You should be able to play each of those 2 Variations once each at the same time. So two sounds. Variation Sequence for the Sound Group is set to Randomized, so if you aren't specifying which Variation to play, it will pick a random one. If you tell it to play the Sound Group twice, you should have 2 playing. If that isn't happening, I can't reproduce what you're seeing and you will need to send me a Scene.
If you need more than 1 of each Variation to play, up the Voices(Weight) field to your desired max of simultaneous voices. However, you will also need to increase your Bus Max Voices if you want it to go beyond 3 total.
