I'm developing/remixing a platformer with background music playing, and I want to have the music change after you finish level 20. The variable for what level you are on is ||LEVEL||.

Maybe this?

After changing level
if <(level) = [21]> then
stop all sounds
play sound [ v]
end

Yes, it can be done. Simplest method is when level 20 is completed, stop all sounds then play the new sound.

forever
if <(||LEVEL||) > [19]> then

stop all sounds
play sound [ v] until done
end
end

or of there are other sounds playing in the levels

repeat until <(||LEVEL||) > [19]>
if <(||LEVEL||) > [19]> then
stop all sounds
forever
play sound [ v] until done
end

end

end

Well, what I have now is…

When flag clicked, clear graphic effects, switch backdrop to backdrop1, repeat until level is 21 (set volume to 100, play sound until done), if level is 21 then stop all sounds.

end

end

The second will never do anything. If it is less than 19, then it will skip over the code, if it is 19 or more then it will keep looping until the level is less than 19 (which will not happen).

That should work. To give more room for error, instead of is level = 21, do if level > 20. Gives a little room for error incase for some reason your code jumps from 20 to 22 for some reason.

if <(level) < [21]> then 
play sound [game v] until done

  

else
stop all sounds
play sound [ending v] until done

end

Now I have…

When flag clicked, clear graphic effects, switch backdrop to backdrop1, if ||LEVEL|| > 20 then play sound until done else stop all sounds, but the music isn't… playing……

Now it's when ||LEVEL|| < 20, but the music is still playing after level 20.

The music will finish until done, then it won't start again. There are ways to fix that using clones but maybe easiest for now as you are just starting out, use a parallel loop (just another loop that will run at the same time to check if level is > 20, then have that stop all sounds. Not ideal but should work just fine.

it will keep testing the statement until the variable is more than 19. On the last time it does the loop, it will activate the if <> then statement. it will not skip over it, it just won't do any other actions until it stops repeating. It is a more than block so it won't keep looping at all, like i just said it will do its last test as you reach level 20.

But when using a play sound until done, then the script doesn't check until the song is done. That is where a parallel loop can help as it can check and not be halted by the play until done block

No in one of my projects i have a play song until done in a forever block and it works fine. The sprite won't do any other actions until the sound is done. Also it will never stop all sounds as it is not in a forever block and its not repeating the if, then statement

What's the loop then?

Try this. It has a parallel loop that will run until the level is > 20, then it will stop all sounds, which will exit the first dance magic song and allow eggs to start right away.

Well, it only changes by 1 whenever you touch the goal.

Correct, so the level will change. I had to create a way for level to change automatically for the example as I don't have a game to show. So when you change the level variable after reaching the goal, the scripts I posted can be altered to fit that same scenario.

If you share your project we can have a more exact look to help

I sent the project.

Here is a remix. Check the backdrop and the exit sprite
