Make a callback for the note (in the entity tab, there should be something like CallbackFunc in it). There, put the callback type (preferabily OnPickup) and then add this somewhere in your .hps, but NOT in void OnStart(), OnEnter and OnLeave.
void OnPickup (string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
//Your music
}

void OnPickup (string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
//song.ogg
}
what do I need to typpe for callback?
RE: playing music while reading note? - NaxEla - 02-28-2013
You can name the callback anything you want. For example, if you name the callback function StartMusic, and you want to play 01_amb_darkness.ogg, you would add this in your script:
PHP Code:
void StartMusic(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
PlayMusic("01_amb_darkness.ogg", true, 1, 0, 1, false);
}

So i wrote in the note in PlayerInteractCallback "NoteMusic1"
void NoteMusic1(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
PlayMusic("01_amb_darkness.ogg", true, 1, 0, 1, false);
}
No music is playing, when opening note.

Change the line
Code:
void NoteMusic1(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)Code:
void NoteMusic1(string &in asEntity)You can write NoteMusic1 in either the PlayerInteractCallback, or the CallbackFunc. Depending on which callback you use, the arguments (such as string &in asEntity and string &in asType) change. The reason it didn't work is because we were saying to put it in the CallbackFunc, which is why we told you to write string &in asEntity, string &in asType. Using PlayerInteractCallback will work the same (it's probably the better choice to use for this situation) as long as you change that one line.
Edit: Forgot to add this: The difference between CallbackFunc and PlayerInteractCallback, is that the function written for the CallbackFunc is used for several events (such as the player picking it up, it breaking, igniting). If you want to use this instead of PlayerInteractCallback, you would need your script to look like this:
PHP Code:
void StartMusic(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
if(asType == "OnPickup") {
PlayMusic("01_amb_darkness.ogg", true, 1, 0, 1, false); // will only play music if the player picks up the entity.
}
}
The function written for PlayerInteractCallback will only be used when the player picks the item up.

thank you works now
But is it possible to make so that the music will stop after reading? If yes, how?

StopMusic should do it
