Sound Looping

[variant]

Hi,

Recently I've been working on a game that requires a continuous loop of sound throughout the entire game. However it would appear that I've hit a road bump of some sort. My game does not run on one frame, but many frames. So I am in need of way to play a sound through the whole game without being stopped by changing frames. Any ideas?

-Thanks, Variant

How are you doing it just now? It sounds like you could do this by checking the "Play samples over frames" box of your application properties, then using the event "If [sound] is not playing on channel X -> Loop sample [sound] on channel X".

Another way you can do this is to actually code your sounds. By adjusting the position of the channel, you can set a sound to play from any part of the track. For example, if your code looked like this:


Start of Frame:
Play Sample "Music.OGG" on Channel 1
Set position of Channel 1 to Global Variable A
Lock Channel 1


Position of Channel 1 > Duration of Channel 1
Set position of Channel 1 to 0


End of Frame:
Set Global Variable A to Position of Channel 1




positions / durations of sounds will not count the # of frames, but rather return the number of milliseconds (1000 per second). So if it says position = 5029, that means 5.029 seconds

That one works easier.

Thanks for this info, I could use it it in another game I'm creating.
