sry sry yes there is a perserve trigger and a wait befor the perserve trigger

The "wait" on the music trigger is probably slowing down all the other triggers with waits....try making the music trigger for another player.

Hmm.. Odd.. I don't like the way you used that music trigger!! Boo!!

So here use this one:

TRIGGER CRITERIA:
1. Computer Player (Any)
2. Players

TRIGGER CONDITIONS:
- Computer Player suffers exactly 0 deaths of "unit"
TRIGGER ACTIONS:
- Set deaths for Players to 1 deaths of "unit"
- Wait "#" milliseconds
- Preserve Trigger

TRIGGER CONDITIONS:
- Players have suffered exactly 1 deaths of "unit"
TRIGGER ACTIONS:
- Play Wav
- Set deaths for Computer player to "0" for "unit"
- Preserve Trigger

I think thats the way... I mentioned this trigger in some other post that I don't remember... anyways try it out.. hope it works

I got it.....I think. (haven't tested) Find out how many seconds your song is and multiply by 1000....then put that number to replace the wait.

What do you mean by the music playing slow? Like after it plays for the first time, it won't start again for a longer amount of time? Or is the actual music slowing down?

BTW: I couldn't get ANY music playing on your map....I'm sure because music worked for other maps.....

jsut a concept but, if you have the space, (im coming up with this as i type), have a strip and a computer unit running along, have the song play amnd whereever it is when it stops (if its still in the same line) mark it and have a trigger saying

Player
Computer player

Condtidions
brings UNIT to location'end'

actions
move all UNIT at location'end' to location'start'
play wav
order all UNIT at location'start' to move to location'end'
preserve

Just do what greenreaper said but add a wait 0 action before you clear the switch.

Edit: Oh yeah in green reapers triggers the players are not "whatever"
The first trigger very specificly needs to be owned by the human force, the second trigger needs to be owned by a computer player with minimal or no other triggers that use the wait action.

PS. There are multiple tutorials here on how to loop music, you should of tried one of those.

It would work as long as your playing single player and both triggers are owned by the correct unspecified player.

I have music playing in my map Spaced Out Bound its the one....forgot name but its great back ground music and thats the description in dldb, anyway this is how i got it to work.

player:
1,2,3,4,5

Conditions:
Switch <music> is cleared

Actions:
Set <music> to set
Play Wav <music>
Preserve Trigger

Player:
<computer player>

Conditions:
Switch <music> is set

Actions:
Wait <number of milliseconds the song is>
Set <Music> to Cleared
Preserve Trigger

If that doesnt work try doing the same thing, but putting the wait trigger in the first one after you play wav and before you set switch. good luck

Report, edit, etc...Posted by (U)Bolt_Head on 2004-07-31 at 20:29:35

If the wait action isn't there the first player that runs the play music wav will set the switch before the remaining players have a chance to run there trigger.

Basicly it only works for the lowest numbered player, the rest hear nothing.
