[CODE] Stage Music Intro Transition To Loop

[Marble (LS5)]

In most games, there are tracks that have an intro, and at a certain point, begins the first part of a looped track. From there, the intro portion no longer plays for the rest of the session. This is a simple code I put together in 5 minutes.

Game.bb

Add this to tGame_StageProperties
Field StartMusic
And this under tGame
Field MusicChn

Stage.bb

Put this in the music loading part of Game_Stage_Start() - replace the original music loading
Case "startmusic"
Game\Stage\Properties\StartMusic = LoadSound("Music/"+xmlNodeDataGet(InformationChildNode))
Case "music"
Game\Stage\Properties\Music = LoadSound("Music/"+xmlNodeDataGet(InformationChildNode))
LoopSound(Game\Stage\Properties\Music)

At the end of this function, there is a code that begins the music, replace that with this
Game\MusicChn = PlaySound(Game\Stage\Properties\StartMusic)

Put this anywhere in Stage_Step() but not within an If - EndIf loop
For example, I put it under Objects_Update(Game\DeltaTime)
; Loop Transition
If ChannelPlaying(Game\MusicChn)=False Then
StopChannel(Game\MusicChn)
Game\MusicChn = PlaySound(Game\Stage\Properties\Music)
EndIf
;------------------

Now, if you wanted to play an intro as well as a loop track, you can add this to a Stage.xml document

<startmusic>gfact1-p1.wav</startmusic>
<music>gfact1-p2.wav</music>

just replace these music names with yours

good. And that's exactly the code I'm using to.
And for that you should have a perfect looping sound

the only problem now is finding where it loops (shouldn't be too much of a problem though)

Yeahh... Just find the loop point in 1 track and remove everything past it to make the intro track. Remove everything before it to make the loop.
