Music Loops on Scenes

MagoNicolas

hello, I have a question about Music.
How can I do to Play a music loop in multiple scenes, it is that possible?

thanks

Hi MagoNicolas; that's possible; very straightforward. Just put your play Music behaviour in a new actor off-stage somewhere in the first scene where you want the music to start. Changing scenes won't affect the playing of it, looped or not. :-)

It works, but with one great problem¡ If my actor dies it reset scenes, and then music stops how can I solved That?

Without testing, I think the easiest method would be to fade the music in level 1, and then before changing scene, Stop Music.

In your next scene that resets everytime, put the same actor off screen to start the music again from the beginning. That way, its there waiting to play (but from the beginning again) when the Reset Scene is used. you could have another fade out before the scene is reset.

You can't have music continuing if it was initiated in level 1, and level 2 is reset, so the above is the next best thing. Hope it works out for you.

Sorry MagoNicolas, it doesn't say that. Firemaplegames says: "Unfortunately, you cannot use Reset Scene if you want to keep the music playing." this is what I said as well, in a different way:

iPhoneDevForMe suggested another way, but this didn't involve Reset Scene, it was Change Scene, as did firemaplegames.

So if you need to use Reset Scene, there's no other way other than the compromise i've suggested, sorry.

I guess it's down to you which method you use.

YEs! I realize the problem with Reset Scene, But I used Change Scene, From Level to Level it works, But When I am in a Scene, And my actor Dies, I Change And it not longer reset scene, Now it Changes Scene to the current Scene, But didnt Work!

Thanks For your Method Gyroscope! But If Changing Scene Works From level to Level, it should work for the same level! Hope I Solve this soon!
