Start Music Only Once...

richcoy

Hello,

Okay, so I have my game's music attached to an actor on the start screen of my game. That works great, however if someone goes back to the start screen, after viewing directions or setting, the music starts over. How do I stop the music from starting over?

Thanks.

If you have a splash sceen ( such as your logo) before the game goes to your main menu page - put the play music rule here.

That way the player will never return to that screen, and the music won't reset

Thanks, I don't have a splash screen but I could add a scene that looks like my start screen that only plays for one second then moves to the start screen.

Hey ,
its very simple , make a boolean attribute - "music started"
in your initial scene , make a rule ,
when "music started" is false ,
play music (looped)
Change "music started" to true .

this way once you go back to that scene , the music rule will not start again !

Hope it helps.

Thanks Roy, That's even more slick than an extra scene.
