Playing music from a certain time.

#1 Post by KELPER » Tue Jun 25, 2013 1:00 pm

Hello.

Is there anyway to start playing music from a certain point (like for example 20 seconds into the song?). I have a scene where a character takes another character earphones, and I want the music to play at low volume, as it were coming from the earphones, but not from the very beginning, as It would be too much of a coincidence :P

Thanks in advance!

Just take your sound file, and edit it in Audacity (free download).

Then you could cut off part of the song in the beginning. :) Save your file and use that.

Oh, I thought that as the last resource :). I thought it might be silly to put a clon of the same file in the game if there is a way to do it with code, but if I dont have another choice .. :P

You can set the volume to zero while the earphones are "removed" then set it back to full when they are "back in".

EDIT: That has no control over time. Actually you could silence the volume several lines before turning it back on.

That is a good idea actually! I need to create another channel, since until the moment I need the earphone music, theres background music playing. But Im gonna try.

Edit: Yeah, that did the trick! Thank you!
