Loop music specified amount of times then change

gooner

Hello,

I am using an attribute musicTrack, based on it's value I choose a different file to play.

I was wondering if anyone has played a music track, say 2 times, then change the track. I'm good changing the track, I guess my question is more specifically is there a way to determine when the song is over (which would be time to select a new track).

Thanks!

I had been trying timer using (length of song * number of plays) and it was always a fraction of a second off. I will try this combination.

PS - would you specify the length of song or is there a property I can find (like screen.width, or self.time, etc.)

Thanks! Much appreciated.

You need to specify it, in an ideal world you'd edit your song length to the nearest 1/30th/sec value (the Timer behaviour can only resolve to the nearest 1/30th/sec), you could, if needed, throw together your own timer to get that down to 1/60th/sec.

Understood ... that was probably my original problem. I was only using the nearest whole second, which I see now is not nearly accurate enough.

Thanks again!

Yeah, 1 second is half a bar at 120bpm !
