Make the music loop from a certain point [SOLVED]

[Meji]

Well, I was searching through the forums for an answer to this, but since I was unable to find any clues, I made a new thread.

Is it possible to make your song loop from a certain point to another? For example, when you first hear the song, there's this legendary intro that is followed by an epic refrain. But, I only want the player to hear the intro once, letting the refrain loop for infinity.

So, simply put, my question is: it it possible choose from where your song loops?

Code: Select all

play music "intro.ogg"
queue music "refrain.ogg"

You have to chop it up into two files, and queue the second one, which will loop.

I don't mean to steal the thread but, can sounds be looped, or should I just play my repeating sounds as music instead?

For instance I have a clock ticking sound I want to play continuously until the end of a particular scene, but in the reference manual there is no mention of sound effects being repeatable... If I set the SFX up as a music, it can still overlap the other music without stopping it correct?

(I didn't feel it required an entire thread, sorry if this is too unrelated.)

Yes, you just need to declare a new channel and play it on that channel, the music plays in another channel so it won't collide.

Thank you so much. Problem solved. <3
