Music switches on different backgrounds

-Usernameisused-

Hi, I would like help on switching music for different backdrops (going to referenced as background 1 and 2), where the sprite would move from background 1 to background 2, which would stop backdrop 1's music and play backdrop 2's music.

ty in advance

PangolinButCodes

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(backdrop #) = [costumeNumber]> then 
stop all sounds
  
play sound [sound] until done

else
if <(backdrop #) = [costumeNumber2]> then
stop all sounds
play sound [sound2] until done
end
end
end

This should work.
edit – costumeNumber & costumeNumber2 should be the costumes. For more than 2 backdrops, repeat using the if then else, last one should just be if <> then.
if you think this is too tedious, you can try to make a little more advanced run without screen refresh looping custom block.

the code didnt work on the main project (specically the forever command), but worked on another project for some reason
also i checked the code for each sprite and it shouldn't have interfered with the script

when green flag clicked
set volume to (100) %
forever
if <(backdrop name) = [Backdrop 1]> then
stop all sounds
play sound [Sound 1 v] until done
end
if <(backdrop name) = [Backdrop 2]> then
stop all sounds
play sound [Sound 2 v] until done
end
end

I would recommend putting the “If” statements in seperate “Forever” blocks, because otherwise the music will always play until the end before switching, or you could do something like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(backdrop name) = [Backdrop 1]> then
stop all sounds
start sound [Music] ::sound
wait until <not <(backdrop name) = [Backdrop1]>>
end
end

You could repeat this with the other “If” statements too.

to kiwilover2736, your code actually helped me out in my own project when I was struggling how to work out the same problem! thanks!
