Background Speech "Too many Overlays"

[Tom]

Well I'm using Background speech in my game. But rather than one line, I'm doing a song instead. I've put it in Repeatadly Execute because I want it going all the time you're in the room.
Here's the script I'm using (I've took out the words just in case they offend anyone   )

DisplaySpeechBackground(GIR, "line one" );
DisplaySpeechBackground(GIR, "line two" );
DisplaySpeechBackground(GIR, "line three" );
DisplaySpeechBackground(GIR, "line four" );
Wait (30);

Then it should repeat.

But when I go to test the game, It crashes out saying "Too many overlays"

Any ideas would be appreciated.

not sure but try to add Wait comands after each line, it should work

Yep, That'll have em all going at once, and ags dosen't seem to like that, maybe use a while instead of wait though, since the whole point of background speech is to not "block" other functions, if you use wait, might as well use a normal displayspeech....

try this:

int temp=0;
function my_timer() {
 temp++;
 if (temp>=240) temp=0;
   if (temp==10) DisplaySpeechBackground(BUGONE,"SCRATCH");
 if (temp==50) DisplaySpeechBackground(BUGTWO,"SCRATCH");
 if (temp==100) DisplaySpeechBackground(BUGTHREE,"SCRATCH");
}

it worked for me
