Trying to make my music play as my game opens.

by Brad · in Technical Issues · 09/02/2007 (5:19 pm) · 6 replies

Hello all, i am a nooby beginner and well basically my question is, how can i get my wav file to play as my game loads up, without having to click a button, just to play as the game is initiated.

Now i have made a audio data block script and my wav file is linked, i can open up my game type in this command

alxPlay(backgroundAudio);

and my looped audio begins to play, thats great, i just need to know how this file will play without having to type any command into console.

Sorry for being a nooby face plop.

thanks.

Can you copy that exact line into "game.cs"?

It's ok if your a noob face plop. You at least write proper sentences and you asked politely.

Hey your from toronto, i had a 2 week holiday there only a few weeks ago! and niagra falls, was good, anyway i just pasted that line into my audio.cs and it plays on its own, the only problem is i dont know how to get it to stop when i close my game, but i made a respawn point for my ball (doing a football game) so as long as you dont close and re open the game so the audio overlays then its fine.

But if you know how to stop the audio when i close the game that would be great!

peace man.

just noticed this forum isnt so active huh.. :p

AlxStop is what you are looking for. Put it where you want to stop the sound.
Something like: alxStop(backgroundAudio);

You might want to look at this doc.

I did try to add the alxStop line in a few places but it would just stop the music as i opened the game, almost like the start and stop commands where just countering each other...

i will check out that link an dsee if that helps.

Thanks a lot.
