void PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);
Plays music.
asMusicFile - the music to play + extension .ogg
abLoop - determines whether a music track should loop
afVolume - volume of the music
afFadeTime - time in seconds until music reaches full volume
alPrio - priority of the music. Note that only the music with the highest priority can be heard! 0 - highest, 1 - lower, etc
Simply:
PlayMusic("some_music", true or false, any float number, any float number, priority number higher is prior, true or false);

Do you have a function for when you want to play the music?
RE: How do i play music on a level? - Tanshaydar - 10-03-2011
Erm, starting from here will be helpful I think.

An example for that could be this:
PlayMusic("entranc", true, 1, 5, 1, true);

So if you would type that down below, how would it look?
Sorry about the weird insert. im new to this forum.

You would want to put it into your OnStart function. So...
void OnStart()
{
PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);
}

void OnStart()
{
PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);
}
One more question. how much volume should i set it at?
nevermind. i will just try stuff out.
RE: How do i play music on a level? - Prelauncher - 10-03-2011
If you want the music to just play in sertain areas in your map, create a script area so when the player enters the music start
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "YOURAREA", "MusicControl", false, 0);
}
void MusicControl(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1) PlayMusic("YOURMUSIC.ogg", true, 1.0f, 5, 0, true);
if(alState == -1) StopMusic(3, 0);
}
