[General] Music

[BeeszBuzz]

Hi, how do I set up a constant custom music/theme to play within a region?
I'm new to the realm of wc3 sound, and I basically want music in my town.
I also want it to stop when they leave it.
Pictures appreciated.

Thanks for the help and your time, as always.

You have two choice :
1/ Event = A unit enter <RegionA>
Condition = Entering unit equal to < Your unit>
Action = Play <3D sound arround <RegionA>

If they leave!? Do action = Stop the current sound

2/ In world editor, when you select a region, you can check the configuration of this region by double-click on it, under all the function, you can add a sound to that region,so when a unit enter that region, the sound will play, and when he leave or get to far the sound stop automaticly

Wait, I just want it to not be heard when they leave the region, is that automatic?

That's not a good way to do this. Just go to the region editor and put a sound across the region. This is much easier than triggers. You will need to trigger the stop default music though. Note: Music commands don't work with a map initialization even. Use time elapsed 0.00.

Do note you cannot play music on the sound channel. Not because of technical limitations, but rather usability constraints. Custom music is fun and all but often people want to play their own music in the background, or even maybe do not want music at all. If you play any music through the sound channel then they will have to mute all in-game sound which detracts from play experience. Worse is if they have both music and sound enabled, you get a jumble of WC3 music with custom music running, a real racket!

Instead you may want to make a music system which operates using the player camera position. This then plays the appropriate music for the player based on where their camera is located. It can also handle features such as resuming the music or looping the music.

This is the easiest way by far.
Might be a bit tricky to use if your town has some odd shape but still, it's a rather solid method.
