    • Set Music_Lenght[4] = 158.00

  • Events
    • Time - T expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempInt = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
    • Countdown Timer - Start T as a One-shot timer that will expire in Music_Lenght[tempInt] seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • tempInt Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Musicnr1 <gen>

You also need another event on Timer (the trigger) which is something such as

• Time - Elapsed Game Time is 5.00 seconds

So that the trigger will run the first time

Also, DoNothing is unneeded

 

[Terek]

Allright, i'll try that, thanks

 

[PurplePoot]

Note: You may want to stop the last played music when the timer expires, not sure if there'll be conflicts otherwise

 

[Terek]

Hmm, atm whenever the trigger runs it just keeps playing the same music no idea why, I've tried changing it to Play Music Theme (plays only 1 music) and Play Music (repeats a random music), and finnaly Play sound but it is the same as 'Play Music Theme'. any idea why this is happening?

At map init I do:

• Trigger - Turn off Timer <gen>

And to make it run I do:

• Trigger - Run Timer <gen> (checking conditions)

Thanks, been trying to solve this for about an hour but still nothing

Idk, that could just be warcraft being weird.

it looks like it should run fine X_X

EDIT: If you mean the same sequence of music, warcraft uses a fixed random seed default for Test Map

 

[burnasfire]

Cross away File>Preferences>Test Map>Use Fixed Random Seed
Then it should work fine.

Here is some things you should look into. the timer can be set to length of last played music.

I would do it something like this. It would allow for mode that doesn't shuffle and just counts in order ect. If you would like me to further explain all this I can.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - T expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Mode Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set song = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
        • Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • song Equal to 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Sound - Stop music Immediately
            • Sound - Play ArthasTheme <gen>
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • song Equal to 2
              • Then - Actions
                • Sound - Stop music Immediately
                • Sound - Play BloodElfTheme <gen>
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • song Equal to 3
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Sound - Stop music Immediately
                    • Sound - Play Comradeship <gen>
                  • Else - Actions
        • Countdown Timer - Start T as a One-shot timer that will expire in (Length of (Last played music)) seconds
        • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for T with title (String(song))
        • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Skillz. I don't play with music much.

Anyways, I'm not so sure he would want a timerdialog, as it's supposed to run in the background and those are annoying.

Also, your trigger never starts

(Thanks Purple Root I guess )

Uhh... It is PurplePoot.

He already has a trigger to start it. This is simply the timer trigger, not the starting trigger. He doesn't have to create and show the timer window. I was simply showing him he did not need to set variables to song length. Its a simple function that is built in. I cant remember how I did my radio system for one of my old maps but it used a similar system that displayed song title and play time, or was that wow. Either way its pretty fun and simple thing to add to your map.

Waste of processing speed, then ><

Thanks for the help , Grivus Dorelock and PurplePoot (sorry for misspell). Still not very skilled with triggers but I think I can use those

 

[PurplePoot]

I couldn't care less about the spelling, people do it all the time X_x
