Need help with Game music

[Badsniper]

What is it you are trying to achieve?

I am trying to make my game change the music it plays depending on the level you are on. And it has to keep playing that same song as long as you stay on the same level.


What is the problem you are having?

My program will play the correct level song, but it won't loop that song, it actually goes to a different process and plays that song.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem

I've put loops in and out of the process, and I've tried moving the Music.PlayFileStop, but to no avail.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
Please note, This code won;t work without all of the include files and stuff, so don't try running it.

Turing:

var credits : int := Pic.FileNew ("CREDITS.bmp") var screen : int var menu1, menu2 : boolean := false var save : int := 1 var levelend : boolean := false screen := Window.Open ("graphics:800;500;nobuttonbar;offscreenonly;nocursor") var creditscroll := -1 * Pic.Height (credits) + maxy include "Movement.t" include "CustomMovement.t" include "menu.t" process MUSIC     loop         Music.PlayFile ("Songs\\ODIWUAACMUSIC" + intstr (level) + ".mp3")         exit when levelend     end loop end MUSIC process CUSTOM_MUSIC     loop         Music.PlayFile ("Songs\\ODIWUAACMUSIC1.mp3")     end loop end CUSTOM_MUSIC process MENU_MUSIC     loop         Music.PlayFile ("Songs\\ODIWUAAC_MUSIC_MENU.mp3")     end loop end MENU_MUSIC process CREDITS_MUSIC     Music.PlayFile ("Songs\\ODIWUAAC_CREDITS_MUSIC.mp3") end CREDITS_MUSIC proc CREDITS     cls     Pic.Draw (credits, 0, creditscroll, 0)     View.UpdateArea (0, 0, maxx, maxy)     loop         cls         Pic.Draw (credits, 0, creditscroll, 0)         creditscroll += 2         View.UpdateArea (0, 0, maxx, maxy)         delay (50)         exit when creditscroll >= 0 or hasch     end loop     Music.PlayFileStop     delay (2000)     cls     View.Update end CREDITS proc NEW_GAME     levelend := false     menu1 := false     menu2 := true     cls     loop         x := 150         y := 75         movement         if done = false then             level += 1             save := level             levelend := true             cls         else             done := false             levelend := true             exit         end if         exit when level = 2     end loop     if level = 2 then         CREDITS     end if end NEW_GAME proc CUSTOM     level := 1     for b : 1 .. 3         cls         levelend := false         x := 150         y := 75         custommovement         if done2 = false then             level += 1             levelend := true         else             done2 := false             levelend := true             exit         end if     end for end CUSTOM %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% menu1 := true loop     fork MENU_MUSIC     MENU     Music.PlayFileStop     if start = 4 then         fork CREDITS_MUSIC         CREDITS         Music.PlayFileStop     elsif start = 45 then         fork CUSTOM_MUSIC         CUSTOM         Music.PlayFileStop     elsif start = 55 then         fork MUSIC         NEW_GAME         Music.PlayFileStop     elsif start = 87 then         fork MUSIC         level := save         NEW_GAME         Music.PlayFileStop     end if end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using

4.1.1

Why are you using processes for it, out of curiosity?

[Badsniper]

Because that's the only way I know how to get music to play in the background while running the game...

[Raknarg]

Why don't you try:

Turing:

Music.PlayFileLoop (musicfile)

[Badsniper]

Well, that sort of helped. My code now looks like this:

Turing:

process MUSIC     Music.PlayFileLoop ("Songs\\ODIWUAACMUSIC" + intstr (level) + ".mp3") end MUSIC process CUSTOM_MUSIC     Music.PlayFileLoop ("Songs\\ODIWUAACMUSIC1.mp3") end CUSTOM_MUSIC process MENU_MUSIC     Music.PlayFileLoop ("Songs\\ODIWUAAC_MUSIC_MENU.mp3") end MENU_MUSIC process CREDITS_MUSIC     Music.PlayFile ("Songs\\ODIWUAAC_CREDITS_MUSIC.mp3") end CREDITS_MUSIC

When I run my custom levels, the process (CUSTOM_MUSIC) works fine, and so does the MENU_MUSIC. However, the MUSIC process doesn't play songs anymore...

I have checked what level equals, and it equals 1. So it should play the same song as the the Custom Music process... but it's not...

[Raknarg]

I meant that so that you don't need processes at all. In fact, you could do the exact same thing that way, just without processes. If I were you, I would use a string variable for the name and just change that whenever I changed the music.
If you dont want to try it, then I can't really help you beyond that.

Thank you for the No-Processes suggestion.

Everything works now. THANKS!
