In a game I'm working on, I'm wanting the music to change from the level theme to the boss theme as soon as the boss starts. Any tips on how to do this?

Have a sprite that plays the music. Make a broadcast for when the boss enters. When the sprite receives this broadcast, have it change the music.

when I receive [Post End v]
say (Signature)

You could have a variable called music which starts off set to 0 and then gets set to 1 once the boss fight starts. Then make a script to go with it like this:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <[music] = [1]>
play sound [normal music v] until done
end
play sound [bossfight music v]

If it has to start as soon as the boss starts, then do this

when I receive [boss starts v]
stop all sounds
play sound [boss theme v]

Thanks for the tips!

Ummm. can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You gave a link to your project but you forgot to share your project. We can't see it until you share it.

Oh. That makes sense.

Will this work?

If it sorks for you, yes, it will work.

this so easy why you ask

when green flag clicked
go to [cursor]

Hmmm. it doesn't work for me.

How about using clones to control the music. Create a clone and have it play the first song, then when the boss battle starts, delete that clone, which will stop that music immediately, create a new clone and play the new song. FYI, I took out the detection from getting hit so you can go through all the stages to the boss battle to test the sound.

I think it will work with what you have set up it's just the song has to finish before the music can change. To fix this, try adding

when backdrop switches to [backdrop6 v]
stop all sounds

so that the music is stopped immediately when the backdrop switches

Thanks for the tips, everyone!
