How to play multiple custom music?

[IronForge]

Hi, I need a way to play custom music, have 3 or 4 pieces.
Already managed to import the mp3 and play in game, however I need it to randomly select one of them at a time. And wait (silence) for a while before it selects a new one.

Also, how do I remove the vanilla music? Its really getting on my nerves. I like to have silence between my soundtracks.

for the silence, p[lay an empty wav file between songs.

Set each sound into an array, then choose a random integer, if random int = 1, play song 1, ect

Can only use mp3. How to get an empty one? Also, how to generate random ints?

Here's one way:

Create four triggers named Song0, Song1, Song2, Song3. One for each song. Create a "Trigger Variable Array" in the variable editor. In your Events - Map Initialization trigger, put this:

• Set Trig[0] = Song0
• Set Trig[1] = Song1
• Set Trig[2] = Song2
• Set Trig[3] = Song3

Now, each of the triggers will have a wait period of the length of the song (which you can look up in the sound editor) and then a wait period of silence. For example, each trigger should look something like this:

• Actions
  • Sound - Play (Music)
  • Sound - Clear the music list
  • -------- The above "clear music list" is so that it doesn't play twice --------
  • -------- The below is just an estimated wait time until the song stops playing and with, I don't know, 15 seconds of silence --------
  • Wait 240.00 Seconds
  • Trigger - Run (Trig[(Random integer between 0 and 3)])

Your map initilization should also have that "run random trigger" action after you define the triggers, so that it initializes the cycle.

Use Risens SoundUtils as this is a problem with the WC3 engine (if I got it right reading the info)
