Question about in-game music

[brainiac125]

Is there any way to play imported music in a melee match, which I'm pretty sure can't be done, so if that's not possible then is there a way to make the now-custom map act as if it were a melee map? If so, and if it's time-consuming, is there a custom map on the web similar to what I've described that I can download and work around? Thanks for your help guys, I've spent a lot of time scouring the net for an answer but I haven't come across an answer anywhere.

Importing music makes the map a Scenario map, thus, not melee.

You can import the music and do nothing else to the melee triggers, or anything, and it will still function just like a melee map, with custom music.

If you add any custom triggers to a meele map it wont be considered one any more, and to make it act as a meele map you would have to keep the meele initiazation trigger:

Melee Initialization
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
        Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)
        Melee Game - Give trained Heroes a Scroll of Town Portal (for all players)
        Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)
        Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)
        Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)
        Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)
        Melee Game - Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players)

If you wanted the song to repeat over and over without having to type something i think you could do

Music
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Sound - Stop music Immediately
        Sound - Clear the music list
        Sound - Play <your song>
        Wait <song time in seconds> seconds
        Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

Ya its a trigger! Here:

 Events: Player 1 (red) types -play(songname)
Actions: Sound - Stop Music
            Sound Play (Song)

Songname is the songs name and Song is the song you want to play as long as its imported! :shades:

Thanks

Thanks for the help, it seems that I went "trigger-happy" and apparently deleted the still-melee trigger, but I'm too tired to remember when I did it . Pretty sure I didn't know what it was and therefore deleted it lol, guess I won't do that next time.
