Different music for each player

[Marsal]

Hello guys!
I'm making an orpg and i using imported music in it. At the start of the game it begins playing the first music. I want to change that song to another one when a hero enters a region and to play the music only for that player who owns the hero and keep the first song playing for the other players.
Can someone help me with it?

You can do this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Forest <gen>
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
  • Custom script: local string s = ""
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(u) then
  • Custom script: set s = "war3mapImported\\music.mp3"
  • Custom script: endif
  • Custom script: call PlayMusic (s)
  • Custom script: set u = null

 

[Marsal]

and only the player whose hero enters the region can hear it?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yep, since it uses GetLocalPlayer(). Try it and let me know of the results.

 

[Marsal]

okay i try it
lol it makes me 38 errors ~.~

 

[Pharaoh_]

It brings up no error for me. Are you sure you typed everything correctly? Don't include "Custom script:" in the typing field

 

[Marsal]

i fully copied that you have written and changed the things at ""
the endif makes me more than 20 errors in the other systems like save/load

Replace "war3mapImported\\music.mp3" with the path of your music; make sure it has two slashes.

 

[Marsal]

okay thanks
aaah works perfectly thank you so much
i think the problem can be that i have deleted the "" tags at s and writen a music name to it

 

[Marsal]

thank you again it works very well but how can i loop it? when the music ends it won't play it again

 

[Gekigengar]

i used a periodic event to count the seconds the song ends...

i don't know if there is a better way to do it,
some people use sound and loop it

if my way,
every 150 seconds ( the song is 2 minutes 30seconds)

play - Music

if you want it for only a certain player, use the trig above that he has given.

 

[Marsal]

thanks you gave me a very good idea to use that with 2 music

 

[Marsal]

ah i can't do it:S S.O.S.

What the hell ? Just do that.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Forest <gen>
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) == GetLocalPlayer() then
  • Sound - Play SomeSound OR SomeMusic
  • Custom script: endif

wagwan the little boy next to me wanks on his PC when he goes on these posts. then he licks it up.. do you guys think thats hot??

 

[Marsal]

lol it works perfectly

 

[Pharaoh_]

lol it works perfectly

Of course it does, but it will offer you some glorious disconnections in a multiplayer game.

 

[Marsal]

what do you mean? fatal? i tested it by moving in the region other player's character

 

[Ceday]

Of course it does, but it will offer you some glorious disconnections in a multiplayer game.

Playing a sound locally is fine don't worry.

 

[Gekigengar]

now i am scared to use it lol...

btw, setting up a sound in loop, does it replay the song?..i haven't tried yet even though i gave in the example.

and do you use play music? or play sound lol D:, which is better?

 

[Marsal]

lol in simple test started from we it loops but in multi player it won't

 

[Gekigengar]

well, since someone more experienced is here,

i wanted to ask for a trigger too

i wanted to know how dota makes that chat commands

where it only plays music for that certain triggering players..

when we typed -music 1
or -music 2

it plays diffrent songs for the player...thx

• Events
  • Player - Some Player Chat message -music orc1
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
  • Sound - Play Orc1 (yeah GUI action)
  • Custom script: endif

I'd rather do it the way Pharaoh did it. GetLocalPlayer is a dangerous and unpredictable thing, altho i don't know, i rather avoid it.

Oh, oh, just by the way, you're all still leaking a sound

call KillSoundWhenDone(sound)

• Sound - Destroy your_sound

 

[Gekigengar]

thx !! +REP

--------------
how can i make it loop? other than playing it as sound, i want it as music...

and i can't seem to loop music...in any options +__+ and how to make the music looping for that certain player?..

because, when i play it with sound, it collides with music, and the background music if we turn that off, i feel annoyed when i increase my SFX it increase my music volume...

Dota seems to be able to do it..is it hard?

 

[raft_pl]

Just import it as music instead of sound and play it as music (its under the same category as "play sound", but a bit lower on the list)

 

[Gekigengar]

how do you loop Music? +__+ to only a certain player, thats the main question.

i first thought that "looping" option in sound can make sound go looping...

with some ways, but, i want to play my music in "Music" variable,
there is no Loop Function to it.

 

[Marsal]

that's my question too

 

[raft_pl]

I already answered you, but you apparently ignored it.
Maybe pictures are more appealing.

1. Go to Sound Editor
2. Select the track you want to have as your music.
3. Click the Note icon

4. Go to Trigger Editor
5. From the dropdown menu, select Sound - Play Music (it loops the music by default)

6. If you want it to play for a single player only, people above already posted the solution.

 

[Gekigengar]

somehow it doesn't loop for me +_+?

 

[Marsal]

it doesn't loop..... in multiplayer it won't loop just in the test i started from we

 

[raft_pl]

Then i've no idea, i don't use music triggers that often...

 

[Gekigengar]

then this has no conclusion yet =___-"

• Sound - Destroy your_sound

Learn it instead of avoid.Also there is no leak.If you destroy a sound that created by sound editor, you can't play it anymore.

 

[Marsal]

Interesting... Sometimes it loops sometimes not...

 

[Kanadaj]

Hmm I don't really know why does it not loop but anyway-pharaoh, your trigger is a jass trigger chained in GUI

 

[jim7777]

i already done this before.. I just forgot how but it is some sort of working on glitches/bugs around the Sound Editor, Trigger Editor and Import Manager

the thing I remember is the trigger is playing it as Music (in gui) but the sound editor recognizes it as a sound so it could be repeated or if the sound editor looping options bugs for you, use the KillSoundWhenDone blah blah blah then play it again. I still have the trigger on me but don't know how to do it again because i did it long time ago
