hi there. i was trying to make multiple music zones for my game and i found this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr3ZqN-OpcE
and i wonder why it doesn't work for me.

i have to put the custom music.lua file in the scripts directory and this is what i did:

-- Constants
MUSIC_TRACK1 = "audiobank\\music\\theescape\\default.ogg";
MUSIC_TRACK1 = "";
MUSIC_TRACK1_INTERVAL = 3692;
MUSIC_TRACK1_LENGTH = 38000;

MUSIC_TRACK2 = "audiobank\\music\\theescape\battle.ogg";
MUSIC_TRACK2 = "";
MUSIC_TRACK2_INTERVAL = 3692;
MUSIC_TRACK2_LENGTH = 60000;

MUSIC_TRACK3 = "audiobank\\music\\theescape\\final.ogg";
MUSIC_TRACK3 = "";
MUSIC_TRACK3_INTERVAL = 3692;
MUSIC_TRACK3_LENGTH = 51705;

MUSIC_TRACK4 = "audiobank\\music\\theescape\finalassault.ogg";
MUSIC_TRACK4 = "";
MUSIC_TRACK4_INTERVAL = 0;
MUSIC_TRACK4_LENGTH = 5000;

MUSIC_TRACK_DEFAULT = 1;

-- init when level first runs, load our music and play the default track
function music_init()
	music_load(1, MUSIC_TRACK1, MUSIC_TRACK1_INTERVAL, MUSIC_TRACK1_LENGTH);
	music_load(2, MUSIC_TRACK2, MUSIC_TRACK2_INTERVAL, MUSIC_TRACK2_LENGTH);
	music_load(3, MUSIC_TRACK3, MUSIC_TRACK3_INTERVAL, MUSIC_TRACK3_LENGTH);
	music_load(4, MUSIC_TRACK4, MUSIC_TRACK4_INTERVAL, MUSIC_TRACK4_LENGTH);
	music_set_default(MUSIC_TRACK_DEFAULT);
	if MUSIC_TRACK_DEFAULT > 0 then
		music_play_instant(MUSIC_TRACK_DEFAULT,10000);
		music_set_volume(100,100)
	end	
end

-- load in and setup a piece of music
function music_load(id,str,interval,length)
	if str ~= "" then
		SendMessageS("musicload",id,str);
		SendMessageI("musicsetinterval",id,interval);
		SendMessageI("musicsetlength",id,length);
	end
end

-- plays m fading in over fadetime, stopping any other music over fadetime * 3
function music_play(m,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicplayfade",m);	
end

-- plays m fading in over fadetime, stopping any other music instantly
function music_play_instant(m,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicplayinstant",m);	
end

-- plays m at the next interval of the current music, starting at full volume and fading out the current music by fadeTime
function music_play_cue(m,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicplaycue",m);
end

-- as music_play, but plays m for time playTime before returning to play the default track
function music_play_time(m,playTime,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicplaytime",m,playTime);
end

-- as music_play_cue, but plays m for time playTime before returning to play the default track, using timing intervals
function music_play_timecue(m,playTime,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicplaytimecue",m,playTime);
end

-- stops the music playing in time fadeTime
function music_stop(fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessage("musicstop");
end

-- sets the global music volume and fades the playing track to this volume over fadeTime
function music_set_volume(v,fadeTime)
	music_set_fadetime(fadeTime);
	SendMessageI("musicsetvolume",v);
end

-- sets the default music track m (the track returned to after another track is played for a finite period of time)
function music_set_default(m)
	SendMessageI("musicsetdefault",m);
end

-- sets the global fadetime for all subsequent commands that use fade
function music_set_fadetime(f)
	SendMessageI("musicsetfadetime",f);
end

i want to use the 4 music pieces from the folder "music\theescape" and first was really wondering why the were two backslashes in the directory. is this right? in the video lee does it like this and it works.

thanks!

there are two slashes because in LUA a single slash is a precursor to a command, you need two slashes to tell it that it's a directory change.

The reason it's not working is because each track set is calling the track twice, you need to comment out one of the lines in each track:

MUSIC_TRACK1 = "audiobank\\music\\theescape\\default.ogg";
MUSIC_TRACK1 = ""; <----------------------------------------------------------------------------- get rid of this line in each set of tracks
MUSIC_TRACK1_INTERVAL = 3692;
MUSIC_TRACK1_LENGTH = 38000;
