He was speaking about coding.
R453, you mean like when the first song ends you start to loop a certain part of it ?

there's a problem in blitz3D which is the sound controls.
When you wan't to change the volume of the music, it doesn't work ( only if the SoundVolume is just under the loadSound )
PlayMusic, hasn't this problem byt it also hasn't a loop function, and doesn't store the file in the ram, so it makes the game slower.
So, sorry, I can't help

like the regular stage music not with a loop point, from end to beginning. yes and i mean coding.

And don't really get what you guys are tying to say, with me the music loops perfectly.

yes i want the same thing for sounds, but if i copy the looopsound code the sound is glitchy and doesn't play correctly.
and i want to find out how to mute it for boostmusic and how to add random sounds

perhaps this: make the intro a separate part, and the loop another. have the intro play first, then immediately have the loop follow then have it loop normally. (for best effect, save music as .ogg to remove that awkward pause in between the loop and the intro and the start of the loop and the end of loop)

If (ChannelPlaying(ChnMusic)=False) Then
ChnMusic = PlaySound (Music)
EndIf

"If channel is not playing, then play it."
Should be placed in desired code loop.

um the engine spams the sound.

If you can not find a valuable code for looping the audio file, what I usually do is find what verse in the music repeats itself, take that verse and put it after the main verse so it repeats the song, make it so the file is longer then 15-20 minutes, its a large file if you make it an .mp3 so make it a .wav instead, but its useful if you can not code the audio file to loop

i want it like the skydive sound in bsu 1/2 or like the goal sound

[Marble (LS5)]

My method works, you do not have to increase filesize to get the simplest of results.

I added a restart function but it wont end sound! i dont know how to close / end the sound music.

Use this:

StopChannel(ChnMusic)
