Best Way to Implement Music?

Philie

Hey everyone,

For my game, I have a scene in the beginning that determines if an attribute is at 0 or 1, if its at 0 it goes to lets say Scene A, and if it is 1 it goes to Scene B. I'd like both scenes to play the same music, but I would like this to flow a lot smoother. The problem is, sure I can get it to play music on Scene A, but after you complete Scene A, you end up at Scene B, and since I have it playing the same song, it cuts off where it was on Scene A and then resets at Scene B. Is there a way to make a rule if music is playing then do not play, or something? What is the smartest way to implement music without having a cut off/reset?

This might be a stupid question, but I'm very interested!

Thanks everyone,
Matt

Only have one instance that calls on the music, like in Scene A, it will continue to play when it changes to Scene b.

If you want it to keep playing when you go back and forth several times, you need to set up a boolean attribute. Have it called "playmusic" or whatever you want, then have a rule in Scene a that states…When attribute.playmusic is 'true' Play Music "track1" then have another rules that says, When attribute.playmusic is 'false' Play Music "track1" Then in Scene b, have a rule that says when you click the button to change scenes back to Scene a, to set the attribute.playmusic to false.

I think thats the way to do it, I'm not sitting in front of my GameSalad computer at the moment, but give that a try and see if it works.
