I do trigger a music-alarm when turn off a button. When I leave to the next room I want to tune down the musicvolume but My script dosnt work. Whats wrong???

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1,music=$0,musicvolume=40,state=2
:state=2,plrwithinzone=0:music=0,state=0

Just saw that the :state=1 is missing in the script...

Mr Love Did you get it to work?

Mr Love Yes, there are several ways to write this. This one will work the way you have it above...

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1,music=$0,musicvolume=40
:state=1,plrwithinzone=0:state=0,music=0

This only works while in the triggerzone.
Note, sometimes when you already have "music" playing in the background, you have to use
the "musicoverride=x" command (sometimes) to stop what is playing and start a new one.( it's a trial and error thing)

Quote: "When I leave to the next room I want to tune down the musicvolume "

Now if you want the "music" to fade as you leave a room, use this script and it will fade music away.
You will have to adjust the " segment distance" to meet your needs..

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,plrdistwithin=449:music=$0,musicvolume=20,state=2

:state=2,plrdistfurther=500:music=$1,state=0
:state=2,plrdistwithin=399:musicvolume=30
:state=2,plrdistwithin=349:musicvolume=40
:state=2,plrdistwithin=299:musicvolume=50
:state=2,plrdistwithin=249:musicvolume=60
:state=2,plrdistwithin=199:musicvolume=70
:state=2,plrdistwithin=149:musicvolume=80
:state=2,plrdistwithin=99:musicvolume=90

I was thinking, since it is an "alarm" sound, why not use the "sound=x or loopsound=x" commands?

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:plrdistwithin=30:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=30,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,music=$0,activateifused=1
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2
:state=2,plrusingaction=0:state=3
:state=3,plrdistwithin=30,plrusingaction=1:state=4
:state=4:decframe=0

Ok, I take it your already playing a background music in your level somewhere, correct?
Then you should use the "musicoverride" command.
As for your script, note that a player distance for "30" is just not possible. Try 60 or 50?
anything less than say "plrdistwwithin=45" is just to close to an entity to work.
I tested your script with a distance of 50 and it worked perfectly

(the music starting playing )
Also note that .wav files seem to work the best

Yea, the background sound is "music"...

Well the music is the alarm that start when I turn the button, everything works fine so far.
BUT I JUST CANT TURN THE ALARM (MUSIC) OFF!? HAVE USED OVERRIDE, DIDNT WORK..
I have just found out that I have exact the same problem to turn off soundloops as well.

Mr Love
This is what I have that works with an "animated" switch ( not alternate texture switch )
that I assume your using based on your code from above ??? If it's not animated let me know.

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:plrdistwithin=55:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,activateifused=1,musicoverride=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2
:state=2,plrusingaction=0:state=3
:state=3,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:activateifused=0,state=4
:state=4:decframe=0
:state=4,frameatstart=0:state=5,setframe=0,musicoverride=$1
:state=5,plrusingaction=0:state=10

Place your "music" in slot $0 and leave slot $1 empty.
This worked for me when I already had a background music playing.
And if you don't want to change your background music and just play a sound file, use this..

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:plrdistwithin=55:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,activateifused=1,loopsound=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2
:state=2,plrusingaction=0:state=3
:state=3,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:activateifused=0,state=4
:state=4:decframe=0
:state=4,frameatstart=0:state=5,setframe=0,stopsound
:state=5,plrusingaction=0:state=10
