Use the "music=X" command in their spawn and destroy scripts.

You can also look at how I handle music with trigger zones in Sands of Myth and the script presented here.

It won't give a perfect solution for your question but it might be a good inspiration.

Find out what script your enemy is using for appearing and destroying (AKA dieing)

Find them in the scriptbank folder, open them in Notepad, and then change them.

That's why you add it to the script.

I did, but nothing happened. Yes, i put the path of the music i wanted to play where the "x" is, but when i test the game, no music plays. Please, can you be more detailed? I really need this in my game by a certain time.

Make sure the music is in the "audiobank" folder somewhere.

Pushy? are you kidding me? I just need this before it's too late. I'm not pushing anybody to answer me, i'm simply bumping up the thread by asking if anybody could help me. If me being "pushy" bothers you, then stay out of this thread.

Well, aside from the basics, here's something I found to get that bit of "extra" help from people because it helps THEM see what you're doing.

Post your script so we can look at it

No body here is psychic. We don't know what your script looks like at all. For all we know, you missed a colon, you forgot a comma, you used a condition as an action, you didn't give a certain command a parameter, etc. The list goes on and on with what could be wrong with what you're doing.

If your music is in the audiobank, then the only thing I can see as being a problem would be your script.

Try taking the spaces out of the file name
If that doesn't work then convert the file to a .ogg then try again

He is correct about the spaces. Your file names may not contain space, however your file name must be exactly what the file's name is... so the solution here would be to remove the spaces from the actual file's name, and then correct the name in your script.

Ok, the music now starts when the enemy spawns. But once it dies, the music keeps playing...

Model packs I have done this , so I will share a simple way of do this. I will give you a step by step process.

Here we go!

1: Set your trigger zone

2: Set your enemy that you want to spawn with your normal scripts ( meaning use "appear1" )

3: Now set an Item, like health pack, to spawn with your enemy and give it the script "repeatsound" as your start. In the first sound file put the music that you want to play here.

4: Now place the item in a place in which the player will either leave the room and pick it up or set a trigger to destroy it as the player leaves. and you will have what you want fast and simple.

starmind 001, i really appreciate you sharing this with me, but i need the music to stop as soon as the enemy dies, otherwise the whole rest of the time the player is walking on his way to leave the room, the music will still be playing, and he might think that the enemy is still lurking around or something.

I shal quote myself in the VERY FIRST reply to this thread.

Use "music=0" to turn music off.

Then instead of "music=0" have it play the music that's supposed to be playing regularly.

That worked, but now i can't get the music i want to play when the player is fighting the enemy to play. Ive looked at the script over and over, but nothing seems wrong with it.

Ehum here you go

The commands "runfpidefault" and "destroy" both cause the script to stop executing right away, meaning your line right below them never gets run.

I think the problem is the order in which you made things happen. The commands "runfpidefault" and "destroy" both cause the script to stop executing right away, meaning your line right below them never gets run.

So try moving your music lines above the lines before them.

One more thing... I'm sure this is easy and probably obvious but i don't know how to do it. How do you change the volume of the global background music? Yes, i have searched.
