About Background Music

[Strydhaizer]

Okay , can someone teach me how to play 6 background musics RANDOMLY? Using Triggers. I know its possible but i dont know how.

Please reply / answer my question I will really thank you for this

 

[Rheiko]

use array variable :3

• set Music[1] = YourMusic
• set Music[2] = YourMusic
• set Music[3] = YourMusic
• set Music[4] = YourMusic
• set Music[5] = YourMusic
• set Music[6] = YourMusic

then use integer variable to randomed it

• play Music[random integer between 1 and 6]

if i'm right, that should work

 

[Malhorne]

That can works yes.
But you have to queue the music too.

 

[Rheiko]

ah, i forgot about that...
no world editor here
malhorne help please :3

 

[Strydhaizer]

Background music should be continuously playing. How if the first track lasts 7 mins while the other track has only 2 mins.

 

[Rheiko]

hmm, i think there is an action for that...
music list? or something like that? :\

going to download JNGP

 

[Strydhaizer]

music list? or something like that? :\

Exactly.

Well I do know Rheiko's way should work if not same with his answer but look at this:

Also about your previous question. Just make it to Use as music instead of Use as sound type. Music continously plays over and over but sound doesnt unless you do check Looping at settings or you do a Looping trigger.

 

[Rheiko]

so apocalypse copy my idea!!
actually no, just similiar.. very similiar..

@Stryderzero
try this one, i guarantee it'll work, trust me

 

[Strydhaizer]

What Variable Type shoud i use , is it Sound?

 

[Rheiko]

yeah sound :3

 

[Strydhaizer]

Didnt loop , i dont know why , it only plays 1 random track


=========
= Trigger 1 =
=========
Event
MapInitialization

Action
Set Normal_BackTheme[1] = Helix - Fear <gen>
Set Normal_BackTheme[2] = Helix - Illusion <gen>
Set Normal_BackTheme[3] = Helix - Interlink <gen>
Set Normal_BackTheme[4] = Helix - NoRegret <gen>

=========
= Trigger 2 =
=========

Event
MapInitialization

Action
Sound - Play Normal_BackTheme[RandomInteger number between 1 and 4]

 

[Rheiko]

yeah it's because you use sound, and sound doesn't loop..
so you should make a looping trigger for it

Actually, since you know how long the tracks will last, you can do it in a better way.

First you need to register the duration of the tracks (in second).

• Set Track_Dur[1] = 150
• Set Track_Dur[2] = 250

Then you put it in the loop.

• For each (Integer Temp_Integer) from 0 to 1, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Sound - Play Normal_BackTheme[Random_Int]
    • Wait Track_Dur[Random_Int] seconds
    • Set Temp_Integer = (Temp_Integer - 1)

Freehand triggering so this should be used only as reference :3

edit

Scratch 99999, I found a way to do infinite loop.

Proudly to say that i made it on my own

• General Sound Settings
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ANormal_Background_Theme = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ANormal_Background_Theme Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Play Helix___Fear <gen>
        • Wait 304.00 seconds
        • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ANormal_Background_Theme Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Sound - Play Helix___Illusion <gen>
            • Wait 240.00 seconds
            • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ANormal_Background_Theme Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Sound - Play Helix___Interlink <gen>
                • Wait 462.00 seconds
                • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
              • Else - Actions
                • Sound - Play Helix___No_Regret <gen>
                • Wait 240.05 seconds
                • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)

 

[Rheiko]

ow, congrats..
good job

 

[Malhorne]

This may run the same music multiple times.

Oh , seems that he edited hes post , now i understand. Thanks DoomLord.
The thing the only confuses me last time is , i didnt use Loop-Action.
