Buying Music Functions

[Holmenlund]

Hey there !

playing a music theme aint a prob. the thing i want to do is the following:

When a hero buys from a certain shop. then it plays a song. the thing is i need it to randomly pick a song from a selection of 3-5 song. so that it aint the same song everytime. the songs are 5 imported songs of my own. i simply just need a trigger that makes a kinda "random" pick of 4 things.


Im sure this a easy trigger :b so help me out and get some rep in return

• Map init
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set sound[1] = //custom path here
    • Set sound[2] = //custom path here
    • Set sound[3] = //custom path here
    • Set sound[4] = //custom path here
    • Set sound[5] = //custom path here

Now, when unit buys item:

• sound
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to //enter shop type here
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play sound[(Random integer number from 1 to 5)]

Hmm what do ya need the condition for ?

 

[Chaosy]

nothing special it just make that this is from a special unit it is sold

 

[Holmenlund]

Hmmm i can´t figure out how to insert the custom path?

and the sound[1] is just a new varailble u made right ?

 

[Bannar]

Oh Holmenlund.. You should have said that you have problems with variables too. >.<
Yes 'sound' is sound array variable. Enter variable editor and in Name field enter 'sound', from type filter choose: Sound. Follow this with ticking the 'Array' box just below type field. "Custom path here" means that after choosing action: Set Variable and selecting the sound one you have to Select option 'Variable' and choose the imported sound. Done, enjoy.

 

[Holmenlund]

ye ye that i know haha

it is just what do you do to insert the custom path ??

 

[Boar]

You have to import your music Via the Sound editor, You can then set the custompath to that music.

 

[Holmenlund]

It sounds like ur in a different section/spot than i am ?
let me illustrate it hah :

First i import a sound/song then its variable name become the name of the file "almost"

then i make the trigger(set) where i enter a new variable which name was: sound[1] = "then you say i shall insert the custom path here" well i don´t see how to do it ?

You say that after i checked the Array then the custom path should be right under ? where ? XD haha

now i can´t explain it better, so what i am doing wrong?

Here is a test map presenting the idea ;<

 

[Holmenlund]

[Chaosy]

• Sound - Stop the currently playing music theme

OR

• Sound - Stop music Immediately

You should also "Clear the music list"
