Hey, having some trouble with this, im in need of a way to loop one piece of custom music i have while ingame (eg - keep is playing over and over until i stop it with a different trigger)

I have tried using this current trigger:

Sound - Clear Music List
Sound - Stop Music Immediatly
Sound - Set Music to 100%
Sound - Set volume of (my music) to 100%
Sound - Play (my music)

I have ticked the loop button in the sound editor, but it has had no effect ingame, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Time Elapsed 0.00 seconds
Play X music
Wait (duration of X music)
Run This trigger

There is a way to make music loop but this one but I forgot how to

You need 2 triggers if i remember right:
  • Events
    • Time - Time elapsed is equal to 0.1 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Action
    • Trigger - Run *the other trigger*
    • Music - stop play the currently music theme
And:
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Music - Play your music
    • Wait - *the length of your music*
    • Trigger - Run this trigger
This worked for me when i had music in one of my maps.

there is no need for 2 triggers, easily done with 1:
  • Trigger
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Sound - Play babmersMusic <gen>
      • Custom script: call TriggerSleepAction ( 60.00)
      • Custom script: call RunTrigger ( GetTriggeringTrigger())

You can not make the music play without pauses or breaks at one point due to the way WC3 buffers music. RDZ pointed this out to me and said the only way to make endless music was to play it in the sound channel which can get annoying to so people and is not recomended.
