Playing audio tracks?

by Jedive · in Torque Game Engine · 03/26/2005 (6:29 pm) · 1 replies

Taking a look at the TorqueScript Reference that comes in the Apendix A of the 3DGPAI1 book, the only functions to play audio I have found are the RedBook functions (which doesn't do what I need, as they are for playing CD tracks), the ShapeBase::playAudio() function (which isn't also what I need, as I want an environmental audio track playing, and not a sound emitted by a shape) and the OpenAL functions which only seem to wrap the original OAL API. Do I have to use these OpenAL functions to just play music in the background (I guess it's done with alxPlay())?.

Ok, I've looked the space shooter example that comes with Torque 2D (as the TGE examples does not play background music), and this is done with alxPlay(), so I guess that's the way to do it...
