Saved Games and Audio

[jfcwilson]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked before.
Is there a way to save a game and restore it to that very same place,
and have music playing like it was when you saved?

Thanks,
James

Not with the current system... To do that you should create an OCX to externally render the sound file and save the exact position with a pointer to it (advanced programming)

Too much work for something that was hardly ever used in games so far...

Sorry, what I meant was: have the music TRACK starting to play when the game is restored, rather than having to force the saved game to a diffrent location to insure that sound plays.

Hi there...

i don't see why not..you can simply add music in the first channel in the Frame Properties...of the very first frame..--this is as long as its starting from scratch..the music/ sound..I guess the question is are u wanting to start a sound/music from scratch..or have it take off where it left off in the game..?

Peace

I'm not sure that I understand what you want to do, but you might take a look at Shadowhunter's EZTalk.

I understood.

Tou can do this:
Copy paste the codes for playing a sound and stoping it.
Alter them so that if the sound is being played a variable is set to 1 by adding the code

varname=1

in the playsound procedure and

varname=0

in the stopsound procedure.
Now, use this:

if varname=0 then PlaySound "soundname.extention", False

in the frame properties
