Play music trigger

[JakobOvrum]

I just cant play music in-game. There is this script error window popping up when i try to test my map. so i need some trigger guidance.
My trigger looks like this:

events
Unit enters (region name)
Conditions
Action
Play (music name)

Anyone know what to do?

 

[Myzteryz]

is it a custom music or a blizzard music?

 

[JakobOvrum]

Custom music about 8 mins long mp3

8 minutes? I hope that you're making a one-player map.

In the sound editor, you need to select the sound file and set it to be music. I think it's control-M. If not, try right-clicking it and see what the menu options are.

it is "music" (or else i could'nt have used it in my trigger) And by the way it is only on while in the region so most people wont stay around to hear the end lol

 

[Myzteryz]

ye but he is not worried about the lenght but the file size
it going to make your map so big and a big load.

 

[JakobOvrum]

Do i have to make a sound variable? CAuse im not very good at variables..

No, it should work the way you've said.

Post your exact trigger for us, please.

(i have changed my mind on the soundtrack by the way)

 

[Sargon]

Weird. That really should work.

Is your music on in Warcraft?

 

[JakobOvrum]

Yup

A large music file won't make a big load...

This is actually quite simple, but can make you pull your hair out if you don't know what to do.

After you import your music, open the Sound Editor and right-click the music file.

Now hit "Use as Music", and re-open your trigger and select the music.

Remember to add the line "Trigger - Turn Off (This Trigger)" at the end of your trigger, or someone could walk in and out of the region, constantly playing the music over and over again.
