Yet Another Music Solution

[McJobless]

Couldn't we use .npl scripts and mission dialouge to play loops when certain events happen? Like, when someone gets a toolstore built, we write in the .npl to do a objective sound and replace it in the .txt file with a music loop?

Also, I pretty sure this method is 100% useable without "firing the Cheif" as I have played mission in original LegoRR campaign where he would say a line without appearing on-screen.

Anyways...

Meh.

You could probably replace the sound file where cheif babbles at the respective point with a music track.

I've already done that in at least one level. In Frozen Frenzy (my test-everything level) I replaced the "build up your base" audio with a music file. It works nicely until you want to pause the game.

Mouse and I discussed something like this. Adding in a line to make looping music. Never got it to work.

Let me guess, music keeps playing during the Pause Mode? I'll do my research.

Your guess STINKS ON ICE. Chief's messages stop when you pause the game and don't continue when you unpause. The same happens for the music.

Fail Guess is mistake. Still, I be workin' on a solution after my parties

I haven't checked this, so it's a wild guess.... is there a function to check if a sound is playing? You could also try this, when the game begins, set a timer and play a song. When the timer runs out, play the song again and reset the timer.

That's what Mouse and I thought of. Problem is we couldn't figure out how to code it in an NPL. Or do you mean something else?

It should work similar to how the level win code goes. You know how there is a wait on some levels from when you complete the objective till when the game actually teleports you up? Well thats on a timer, so maybe take a look at how that works.
