Music List

[killbuzz]

How do I use the music list feature in the trigger editor? There is the default "music" but it doesn't seem to do anything. I just need it to play normal wc3 music at random. Thanks in advance

Edit: Ok let me rephrase what i said: I want to make a trigger that when a player types: "-randommusic" random music will start playing, but i want it like a playlist so the player doesnt have to type it over, and over again.

you can make a sound variable with an array, and set every song you want to play as different array
then make a sound trigger that plays YourSound[random integer between (min num) and (max num)

*sigh* i was hoping for an eaisy way out but that's never the case with the editor lol, ok if noone else posts i'll try that. thx

I just realized, it's not really that hard, hers two triggers to do it
Edit: The coundown time in the second trigger must be longer than your longest song ^^ If they have very different lenghts, there can be abit bugs.

Initializion
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Music[1] = Comradeship <gen>
        Set Music[2] = Credits <gen>
        Set Music[3] = DarkAgents <gen>
        Set Music[4] = DarkVictory <gen>
        Set Music[5] = Doom <gen>
        Set Music[6] = HeroicVictory <gen>
        Set Music[7] = Human1 <gen>
        Set Music[8] = Human2 <gen>
        Set Music[9] = Human3 <gen>
        Set Music[10] = HumanDefeat <gen>

Okay hers other trigger

Thanks for the triggers, sadly the songs are different lengths (maybe i could put a condition that if no music is playing then play a random song...) Thanks again
EDIT: I just had a thought... what kind of variable is "music" that you used? (sound?)

 

[cleeezzz]

yes its a sound

 

[killbuzz]

yes its a sound

Ok so I set all the music up as sounds? cause when its music type they dont show up when i go to set them as a variable... just wondering if that matters.

 

[cleeezzz]

if your variable is Sound Type, and all the fields are blank, or have no sounds to pick, then thats telling you its the wrong variable

whereas if you use a Sound variable, you'll be able to pick from the list.


EDIT: hm how does Sound - Music List work?

Hmm well let me rephrase what I said: I want to know what "Variable Type" he used in the trigger. I tryed using sound, but no music appeared, im trying "sound type" now.
EDIT doesn't work. >.> And I can't seem to find Sound - Music List

(Just to make sure this is the variable list im wondering about)

 

[BRUTAL]

its not sound type lol
did you go to the sound editor, and for the music/sound you want to use right on it and click "use as sound"

yes i did try that, i had everything set up but for some reason it would not allow me to use the variable i had created for a random pick to play the sound. so thats why i was wondering about that list (in above post) My other concern is what if there are sounds playing when the player types "-randommusic" will that make that sound stop as well?

Edit: Ok here is my current trigger I am going to test it shortly:

Music Init
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Music_List[1] = ArthasTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[2] = BloodElfTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[3] = Comradeship <gen>
        Set Music_List[4] = DarkAgents <gen>
        Set Music_List[5] = Doom <gen>
        Set Music_List[6] = Human1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[7] = Human2 <gen>
        Set Music_List[8] = Human3 <gen>
        Set Music_List[9] = HumanX1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[10] = IllidansTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[11] = LichKingTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[12] = NagaTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[13] = NightElf1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[14] = NightElf2 <gen>
        Set Music_List[15] = NightElf3 <gen>
        Set Music_List[15] = NightElf3 <gen>
        Set Music_List[16] = NightElfX1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[17] = Orc1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[18] = Orc2 <gen>
        Set Music_List[19] = Orc3 <gen>
        Set Music_List[20] = OrcTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[21] = OrcX1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[22] = PursuitTheme <gen>
        Set Music_List[23] = SadMystery <gen>
        Set Music_List[24] = Undead1 <gen>
        Set Music_List[25] = Undead2 <gen>
        Set Music_List[26] = Undead3 <gen>
        Set Music_List[27] = UndeadX1 <gen>

And to play them:

Random Music
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -randommusic as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Sound - Stop music After fading
        Sound - Stop (Last played sound) After fading
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Sound - Play Music_List[(Random integer number between 1 and 27)]

EDIT: Test'd it and it works good... (wonder why it didnt work before....) Anyways thanks for your help and time +rep to you guys
