Music file won't end.

[qmanjr5]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Make a quiz


What is the problem you are having?
I start playing a music file, but can't seem to end it


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Tried processes, procedures, just the normal code. Asked friends.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
1. I'm sorry about all the "%"s, it's just a visual for me.
2. I know, it's not the best. There's probably a million things I did wrong and a million things I could do to improve it.
3. All I want to know is how to make it so the music file (thinking.mp3) will stop playing after each input is received for each question from the user.

Turing:

Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, black) Text.Colour (brightgreen) Text.ColourBack (black) %Variables var score : int var answer1 : int var answer2 : int var answer3 : string %variable values score := 0 answer1 := 3 answer2 := 33000000 answer3 := "Barack Obama" %Procedures procedure correct     score += 1     put "YAY! :) You got it right. Your score has been increased by 1" end correct %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% procedure incorrect     score -= 1     put "Oh no :( You got it wrong. Your score has been decreased by 1" end incorrect %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% procedure currentscore     put "Your current score is ", score, ". Next question." end currentscore %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% procedure finished     put "CONGRATULATIONS! You've finished. Your final score was ", score, ". Good job." end finished %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%$ process thinking     Music.PlayFile ("thinking.MP3") end thinking %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% process endthinking     Music.SoundOff end endthinking %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %main code put "Hello, welcome to my quiz." put "First question" put "What is 1+1? (ex. 3 [No letters])" fork thinking get answer1 fork endthinking if answer1 = 2 then     correct else     incorrect end if currentscore put "Question two." put "What is the population of Canada? (Ex. 1000000 [No comma's, or letters])" get answer2 if answer2 = 33000000 then     correct else     incorrect end if currentscore put "Question 3" put "Who is the president of the united states of america? (Case Sensitive [Full Name])" get answer3 : * if answer3 = "Barack Obama" then     correct else     incorrect end if

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

See the examples for music_playfile

I believe the correct command to stop music is Music.PlayFileStop

I'm not sure what Music.SoundOff is actually doing but it's clearly not turning the sound off.

THANK YOU THEGUARDIAN001!!!!!!!! ily man

ha ha

i think Music.SoundOff is for when turing is making sounds?

[qmanjr5]

Also, how would I make it so when, for example, they got a question right, it would play a sound file that is an applause, and then pause, then the user has to hit a key to continue. Then it would go back to playing the thinking music????

[Tony]

That seems really specific. Is there a particular thing in that chain of events that you don't understand?

[qmanjr5]

Erm, what do you mean Tony?

[Tony]

You are describing a long sequence of events specific to your program. That is not an answerable question. I can also tell from the above code that you know how to do at least some of the steps already. So what's left?

[qmanjr5]

Okay


How about this

I want file1 to play until action1 is done
I also wnat file1 to play for every input/action

I want file2 to play if action1 = true
and I want file3 to play if action1 = false

but, the problem is

when you're done action1, it goes to action2, without a pause

So, how would I add a pause between the end of action1, and the end of file1, to when file2 plays and when action1 = true

If you don't understand, well, I'm sorry D: you guys are supposed to be geniuses D:

[GalacticVenus]

I'm no genius; on the contrary, I had to ask my teacher how I would use intstr in my situation, but in my opinon, a pause is possible by using the delay (x) command.

[qmanjr5]

but, is it possible to do a delay until the user hits any button on his keyboard?

[andrew.]

Or you can use Input.Pause so that they have to press a key to continue.

THANK YOU!!!


I'll probably post again with my next problem having to pertain to this issue, no doubt.

Thank you ALL
