Title: Play sound - repeat?
Post by: Best on Thu 26/08/2004 22:54:02
Excuse my. I have a sound that I want to play as a background sound. In short: I want it to repeat again and again in loop. Is it possible? Please help me.

Thanx

Yes.
Use SetMusicRepeat(1).

But, uh, this is clearly stated in the manual.

Ok, I try it once more: I dont want to repeat MUSIC. I want to repeat WAV sound. Is it possible or not? When I save wav as music file, it cannot be played. Repeatedly_execute cannot help me here, so what can I do?

Well, you could convert the wav to MP3 or OGG, or one of the supported file types, and use PlayMusic, and SetMusic Repeat.

If you really want / have to use wav, you could use PlaySoundEx and IsChannelPlaying, e.g.:

(in repeatedly execute)
if (IsChannelPlaying(3)==0)   PlaySoundEx(20, 3);

Alternatively, you could use PlayAmbientSound  -check manual for more details on how.

Hopefully one of these will work for you.

PlayAmbient would be best. Also you could probably check if the sound is still playing from RepExAlways, and re-play it from there if it isn't.
