Are you looking to change the music for different areas? Or have different sounds in the same area play at different times?

You're meaning that you want to use different music in different areas?

In that case, just do a scriptarea and make the function;

PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);

Otherwise if you wanna do it like Russ Money said you could use local variables. i.e;

Spoiler below!

DifferentMusic();

void Differentmusic()
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);

AddTimer("Music", 10, "Music");
}

void Music(string &in asTimer)
{
SetLocalVarInt("music", 1);

AddLocalVarInt("music", RandInt(10, 15));
if(GetLocalVarInt("music") == 1)
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);
}
else
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);
}
}

Thanks a thousand! Works like a dream. Heart Big Grin

If you like you could add the first function so it plays itself over and over again, I'll just post it all here;

Spoiler below!

DifferentMusic();

void Differentmusic()
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);

AddTimer("Music", 10, "Music");
}

void Music(string &in asTimer)
{
SetLocalVarInt("music", 1);

AddLocalVarInt("music", RandInt(10, 15));
if(GetLocalVarInt("music") == 1)
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);
}
else
{
PlayMusic("", true, 1.0, 4.0, 0, true);

DifferentMusic();
}
}
