Music Resetting with new scene

Zenith_Gameworks

How could I make it so that once a music file plays, it doesn't reset if you go back to the screen that originally triggers it?

Hint: Rules and Attributes are your friend.

I tried using those but it still restarts . It would be a great help if you could give me an example

I made it so if you press a button on the main screen, the attribute game.music changes to 1 and save that attribute. Then I said if game.music = 1, play music. Any help?

PixelMetal

Well, it's going to see that 1 every time the scene reloads, so you want to change it to a value other than 1 after it's started playing.

Create a new boolean game attribute.

If attribute is false, then play music and set attribute to true.

PixelMetal ok, but how would I make a rule saying "after music starts playing"

JarrenH

You don't. You set a rule that checks the attribute.

When attribute Game.Music = false
Play music
Change attribute Game.Music to true

Can you just post the full set of rules you would use? I think it would be easier to start from scratch with the music.

Replace "Numinous Shine" with your own music

Thanks so much, didn't know it could be that simple. I swear one day I will look back at all these dumb questions im asking on the forums and laugh

JarrenH

Haha, I give you credit for asking! I've wasted hours because I've been stubborn and tried to figure something out on my own.

Zenith_Gameworks

Thanks, as long as I don't give people the idea that Im lazy lol

Quick question: apple can't reject your app if you import music from another source right? Ill be sure to give appropriate credits
