help with game

[ecookman]

i am trying to make a 'choose-your-own-ending game (ya easy right)

well here comes the complex part.
i am tying to play a sound file (which i have SUCCESSFULLY done this)

BUT!!!!
i am trying the sound file to play in the background of the script so the rest of the questions from the plot can be answered, not stopping, playing the sound, then text


so here is the code:
var win : int := Window.Open ("graphics:700;550")
var choice1,choice2,choice3,choice4,choice5,choice6,choice7,choice8 : string
colorback (black)
cls
color (white)
locate (1,35)
put "SURVIVAL GAME"
locate (3,1)
color (42)
put "In this game you will have to follow a story line that every choice you make, could be your last!"
put "You will play through as character named Link. He is just your every day farm-boy, but when people are in need he becomes a legendary hero who has been chosen "..
put "by the gods to protect the vast lands of Hyrule!"
locate (10,1)
put " SO SADDLE UP, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. AN ADVENTURE LIES AHEAD!!!"
delay (1000)

%here is my problem the script stops

Music.PlayFile ("hyrule field.wav")

cls
put "LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"


if anyone wants i'll send them the song so the script works if you are troubble shooting in the program it's self

or you can replace it with another sound clip, same difference ^_^

p.s. the song file is 2mins 27 seconds long

If you're on an older version of Turing, you need to make music a process,

code:

process playmusic music.playFile ("song.wav") end process

Then fork music when you need it to run.

If you're on a newer version, you can use music.PlayFileLoop, and to end it, use playfilestop.

[ecookman]

what do you classify as a 'older version'


before 4.0 or 4.0 and lower or... lol srry

[S_Grimm]

4.1.1 is the newest version. it has a flaw in the header though. anything before 4.x is deemed old.

[ecookman]

hunh ok then thanks

ecookman, I've mentioned this before - make properly named threads - not "help with game".

[Insectoid]

I believe 4.0.5 will not run playfileloop (). This was the version previous to 4.1, so, 4.1.x can playfileloop, 4.0.X and earlier won't.

yes sorry i didn't quite know what to put as the title



TITLE NOOBS FTW

[S_Grimm]

put something like "Need to play music in the background." It tells us that you are making a program with music and need it to be in the background.

[ecookman]

lol ya
almost done the program i can't figure out how to halt the script (starting a ne topic called help haulting script (game almost done final step))

[Insectoid]

Why don't you put that into this thread? If all your questions relate to the same program, put it in one topic.

[ecookman]

they don't relate to the same problem that is why i moved it >.>

[petree08]

but its the same program

[S_Grimm]

petree is right. same program. same thread.
