Help with music file

Im new to this so... yeah ok. When i make turing play a music file it goes throught the whole file and then does other tasks. Is there a way to make it run in the background? While other tasks are bieng preformed? Confused

Hello.

2 options.

First off, there's the good ol' process approach that we all find utterly irritating except in very particular situations.

Turing:

var musicFileName : string := "mymusic.wav"

process playMe
Music.PlayFile (musicFileName)
end playMe

fork playMe

for i : 1..100
put "The music is now playing. Look sharp!"
delay (10)
end for

Then, there's the nicer version, that is only available in OOT 4.0.5 (AFAIK), and goes something like this.

Turing:

var musicFileName : string := "mymusic.wav"

Music.PlayFileReturn (musicFileName)

for i : 1..100
put "Play on...flatten us with your volume!"
delay (10)
end for

Yes, I know the [syntax] tags aren't working yet for OOT, just getting into the habit...

Edit:
BTW, bahamut...resize your avtar or face the wrath of the many mods that shall be lurking quite soon...just a friendly warning... Razz
