[Trigger] Play music only for once?

[RyFridge]

Hey fellas,

this is probably a pretty dumb question, but i found nearly nothing on the web and no tutorials here about this, so i guess i have to ask

When i import some custom music and implement it in my map (as music) it loops infinitely. Problem: I only want it to play once and then be off (stop).

I tried it with a timer, but well, when you go to the questlog or menu the timer stops but the music loops on. So that doesnt solve the problem.
Also, with Clear Music List right after playing the music i can't solve it either. And i can't play it as a sound because i have to be able to fade it out at some times.

Help would be appreciated

You should try using a timer, stopping the music, THEN Clearing the music list.

Here's a very broad but possibly helpful solution:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 120.00 seconds (your song's length)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Stop music After fading
    • Sound - Clear the music list

Take the "120 seconds" as the full length of the music. this should work
haha, didn't see magtheridon answer but yeah, the idea is relevant.

... I think your solutions will not work. ...

have you tested it?

have you tested it?

Yes i have, and the problem is that the timer is pausing when visiting the questlog and other menues, but the music does not. Meaning that the stop is delayed by the time im in the quest menu, so the music will restart (because it is on automatic loop which i can not disable) and will then stop after the delayed time.

go to sound editor in wc3 and select your music with your mouse.

while your music is selected press Enter you will see all of these nifty little options, one of which is a boolean named "Looping" it most likely has a little check mark next to it uncheck it and test.

if there is no check then i have no idea whats wrong

Only sounds can me modified that way, not music

If there was an IsMusicPlaying, there wouldn't be a problem like this...

Well is someone here that can work something out in jass?

 

[gorillabull]

well if you only want to play it ONCE convert it to .wav and use it as sound -__-'

Haha, i didn't know you could stop and fade out specific sounds. Well, fixed it for me, thanks guys.
