Stop Music

[Dark RyNo]

Is there a way to stop music from playing once its started?
I tryed event disable but that didnt work.
Anyone know?
When I switch onto the end of level screen I need the music to stop.

First of all, you need your music to be a sound.
Create a variable, say, "mysound".
In scrpit editor do this:

Code: Select all

mysound=PlaySound2("<sound file>", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);

Use stopSound with mysound when you load a level.
Note: you cannot stop any music, only sounds.

I cant select my music in th play sound menu.
It must be because of the file extension.
surely there must be a way to stop music!
If not there should be in the next version.

Use stopSound

You can stop music and sound with stopSound.

I tryed this.
stopSound("LEVEL 1.mid");
it says illegal cast operation.

Nah nah nah.

Code: Select all

mysound = PlaySound2("<sound file>", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);

then

Code: Select all

stopsound( mysound );

i tryed that.
It came up like this:
music = PlayMusic2("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Ryan\\My Documents\\Games\\Mario\\data\\LEVEL1.MID", 1.000000, 99, HIGH_PRIORITY_MUSIC);

The pink bits are actually white. You just cant see white on here.
Theres an error in the script.
Im sure those colours cant be correct?

OK.

I have taken this example code from a working game. Give it a go.

PLAY
globalMusicChannel = PlayMusic2("data/walkakt1.mid", 1.000000, 335, HIGH_PRIORITY_MUSIC);


STOP
stopSound(globalMusicChannel);
