Hey I've done it before, but I forgot how I was able to play a sound or music effect after the loading screen was completely loaded, but before the game actually started. I've already tried "play sound at map initialization" and "play sound after elapsed game time is .01 seconds", but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :D

Simply play music at Map Initialization.

  • Music
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Sound - Play Credits <gen>
You also need your loading screen set to "Campaign"

Well, it worked for me...

Here is the test map I made.

Edit: I'd like to add, music can only be played once the map has finished loading and is either "waiting for other players" or "press any key to continue"

Thanks bro. Had to set it as music instead of sound. For some reason it wasn't working earlier, but now it is. TY! :D
