how to kill a proccess

[lufthansa747]

hi i am running the newest turing version and i would like to know how to kill a process. i have backround music but i would like to know how to stop it. please help

I'm assuming you just want to know how to stop music, and not how to stop a process in general.

Music.PlayFileStop will stop all currently playing music.
If have multiple music files playing at the same time, playing an empty file with the same extension as the music you want to stop will stop only that music process.

i am not playing music from a file this is waht code looks like

process PlayMusic (playMusic:boolean)
loop
if playMusic = true then
Music.Play ("4bb-bg+bb-bg+bb-bf+bb-bf+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+4bb-bg+bb-bg+bb-bf+bb-bf+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+b-g+b-f+")
for i : 1 .. 2
%delay (200)
Music.Play ("4e-f+1g+")
Music.Play ("4e-ee-2f+1e-")
%delay (200)
Music.Play ("4e-2f+1e-4e-1c+")
end for
end Play Music

fork PlayMusic(true)

how can i get it to stop playing

does anyone know how to stop the above example

Put an exit condition inside of it.
You currently have an infinite loop. If you put an exit when X inside, then it will exit as soon as you make that condition true.

if i use an exit when statement first i would have to put it after every line and second it would not exit until it has finished playing that line. how do i get around that or is there a different exit statement to use

I wonder if calling a second Music.Play with empty notes would cancel the current playing one. combine that with exit statements and it could provide you with a hackjob way around it

[SNIPERDUDE]

No, I think that will just run (if it can with no notes) after the current one is done playing. There is a stop command if I remember right, no need for a hack way around it.

if done a few test and even with an exit condition inside one or more loops it will continue playing the sound until it has finished. One possible solution that I can see is having the whole process run inside a master "for" loop with a upper bound as a flexible array. In your main program you have a variable that increases by 1 or whatever number each time. When you want to stop the music, you simply stop increasing the value of the upper bound and the music in the process will stop when it reaches that number.

This in not true! I am making a program that has a Fork process but Music.PlayFileStop does not end the Process, In stops it for like 15 Seconds!

Same Problem!
look, this is sopposed to work!

Code:

var mus : string mus := "TitleScreenMusic.mid" var flag : boolean := true process TitleScreenMusicFork     if flag then         loop             Music.PlayFile (mus)         end loop     else         loop             Music.PlayFileStop         end loop     end if end TitleScreenMusicFork %Put music processes ABOVE! -------------------------------------------- put "Music %100 Loaded!" delay (1000) cls Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 5, maxy div 5, 0) fork TitleScreenMusicFork getch (input) if input = "a" or input = "A" then     flag := false     %fork TitleScreenMusicFork     cls     Music.PlayFile ("RealDing.wav") end if %Finish TILTLE SCREEN!
