Fork

[Chris]

I need to fork two mp3 files at the same time. One of the files is already playing (background music) and the other file needs to be played without restarting the background music...

Thanks for any help

ok, first you need to have those music files playing in procs or functions, then whenever you want to play the other simply use the command fork with the second procs name after it to play both at the same time ex.

code:

proc backMusic      Music.PlayFile(whateverItIs) end backMusic proc badMusic      fork backMusic      Music.PlayFile(frontMusic) end badMusic

its just that simple, you may have to do this in a function, i cant quite remember but im sure you can fork procedures

First, you can't fork proceedures, and 2 it doesnt work with process', thanks anyways.

Wow. Welcome to the deparment of misinformation.

Procedures and functions can not be forked.

Only Processes can be forked.

Using process will screw you over.

Use Music.PlayFileReturn for your BGM. Then use it again for your sound effects. Turing can only handle one type of music file at a time, so use a different format for your effects than the one you used for BGM.

ex:
BGM = mp3
SFX = wav

actually yes you can, they are probably the best things to fork, they were the first thing i learned to fork, your probably thinking of procs
