When I connect a forever block to a music block and play it it makes a weird looping noise instead of looping the music i want. Pls respond ASAP

Do NOT use

play sound [ v]

Instead use this

play sound [ v] until done

So for example:

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [song v] until done
end

You either have this block playing on loop:

play sound [ v]

Or you have this block on loop even if you have the “play sound until done” block instead of “play sound”:

stop all sounds

I hope I am not late, most of the time I like the broadcast events.

when green flag clicked
set [Music Playing? v] to [true]
broadcast [start music v] and wait

when I receive [start music v]
forever
    if <(Music Playing?) = [true]> then
        play sound [Music v] until done
    else
        stop all sounds
        break // This exits the forever loop cleanly
    end
end

when [space v] key pressed // Your stop/start trigger
if <(Music Playing?) = [true]> then
    set [Music Playing? v] to [false]
else
    set [Music Playing? v] to [true]
    broadcast [start music v] and wait
end

using

play sound [ v]

on a

forever

end

breaks the sound, because the start sound block STARTS the sound, and doesn't wait for it to end. use

play sound [ v] until done

on forever blocks or blocks that repeat.

forever
play sound [ v] until done
end

I think they are asking about why the start sound block isn't working on forever blocks, and not a start/stop trigger, but I could be wrong and extra code could be helpful.

Okay ill try some of the scripts!
tysm for the tips!

Why does everyone keep saying

play sound [ v]

instead of

start sound [ v]

If you are using this script:

when green flag clicked
forever
start sound [ v]
end

Then it will try to play the sound a bunch of times without waiting the sound to finish.
thats because the “Play Sound” Block plays a sound immediately without waiting it to finish.

Meanwhile the “Play sound until done” will play the sound but it will wait until the sound is finished to proceed to next script.

So the correct way to make a sound loop is by using this script:

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [ v] until done
end

@goodboyzoomscratch i already fixed the bug, but thanks!
