Yeah so on the FFX map I decided i'll still do music, so don't ask "DINT U QUK?!1e1"

Question:
So in the FFX map I'm adding music to the game. With all my tests to see if the music acutally works in SC i've been using game play seconds trigger. Which obviously, won't work in the game.
So I thought about using wait triggers and I remebered that bit me in the ass before, so that any text that was suppose to happen with music going on would pause until the next music wav started, which made dialouge really werid. So I need a way where I can play music in the backround. So what's a system I could use?
DINT U QUK?!1e1
ps. death counts are ur friend

3 things.....
1. time it by counting the seconds in game
2. hyper triggers
3. play it on b.net
do all this and it should work
Waits aren't bad if you have no others running.
Erm... waits, you know, they stack? Just saying

Not if you do them right and make sure only 1 wait action runs for a player at a time.

The problem with that the music would be playing in the backround and start the next line of music every 10 seconds and the characaters could be talking and their line could be there for 3-10 seconds, which would screw stuff up.

Use death counts to time speech.
no use hypertriggers with deaths andit will run smoother
F*CKI accidently deleted my post went I ment to post another one -.-
well here's what I was going to say:

As for the death counters thing I don't really know how to use them all that well
I know how to change a death counter to 1 or something, but that's it. I don't know how to make it activate something.
Death counters are fairly simple to use. With deathcounts, you can either add, subtract, or setto. You basically do something along the lines of:
CONDITIONS
-always
Actions
-add 1 death to unit
-preserve trigger
Every 12 deaths is ABOUT 1 second....so if you had music playing for 5 seconds, you would make ANOTHER trigger with a condition saying "If deaths of "unit" is "60", then do actions.

With Hyper Triggers (3 or more), each trigger loops 11.8 times per second.
You'd make it like this. For a wait --> deathcounter trigger. According to 12 deaths = 1 second.
If you wanted it to be like wait 5 seconds. You'd need 2 triggers.
Conditions
-W/e you want
Actions
-Set deaths of 'unit1' to 60.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Trigger
Conditions
-Always
Action
-Subtract 1 death of 'unit1'
-preserve
Of course you'll change the triggers around for your map. Because there's probobly a bit more going on. But that's the basic trigger
