Stopping one sound and starting another

Burrito997

So im trying to make a game in which when it starts the game it plays some music forever until it switches to a specific background. So like when it switches to the boss background it stops the music and plays a different sound, how can i do this?

LoudOrange2001

put play sound….. forever.

hope this helps

just dont use a forever block, do it like this:

set [repeat v] to [true]
repeat until <(repeat) = [false]>
    play sound [myMusic v] until done
end

switch backdrop to [someBackdrop v]
set [bool v] to [false]
stop all sounds

This should work

shouldnt bool be repeat instead otherwise thanks so much

Here's another alternative:

repeat until <(backdrop name) = [boss backdrop]>
    
play sound [that sound v]
reset timer
repeat until <(timer) = (length of that sound)>
    
if <(backdrop name) = [boss backdrop]> then
    
stop all sounds
play sound [boss music v]
stop [this script v]
end
end
end

Use this to make yourself look smart!

Mathman i tried you way and i doesnt seem to be changing, i put the time in seconds (ex: a 2 minute and 11 second long song is 131) and dont know if that is messing up or i put the code in the wrong place ( i put it in my main sprite) please help

Try this, it is quite easy and a great way to getting into more complex things:

repeat until <(backdrop name) = [Backdropname]>
    play sound [Music v] until done
end
play sound [OtherMusic v] until done

you could just use the play sound that doesn't say until finished and then wait however long you want it to be

when green flag clicked

play sound [ v]

wait (...) secs

the problem with the scripts you are giving me is that when i get to the boss and the background changes and the main music is still playing it keeps playing until done. Then it starts the boss music, i want it to fade out and then the boss music to start instantly.

digthebone

when green flag clicked
play sound [radom song v]
wait (as much seconds as you want) secs
stop all sounds
play sound [another random song v]

hopefully that helped

and always remember

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <got help from digthebone> then
know he is awesome
    
end
end

Here is the best and most effective way to do it! It is also very simple! Here it is:

when backdrop switches to [ v]
forever
    
if <(backdrop name) = [ ]> then
play sound [ v] until done
    
end

end

Leonitis

Sorry! Put

repeat until <>
    
end

Instead of

if <> then
    
end

You Can Do THIS:

When Flag Clicked
Set {VARIABLE} To 0
Repeat Until {VARIABLE = 1
Play Sound {ANY} Until Done

When This Sprite Clicked
Broadcast {MESSAGE}

When I Recive {MESSAGE}
Set {VARIABLE} to 1
Forever
Play Sound {ANY} Until Done

THIS Is probably the most effective way!
