playSound() problem :D

[novo]

Hi all.

I'm having troubles with doing a check to know if playSound() worked or didn't.

Here you have a wrong example of what I want to do: (When I use the following example, it's always showing me "It works fine", doesn't matter if the 1st playSound worked or not)

  
local mapMusic = playSound("music1.mp3") 
if not (mapMusic) then 
local radioMusic = playSound("music2.mp3") 
else 
outputChatBox ( "It works fine") 
end

Not entirely sure, but playSound may return a sound element even if the URL is incorrect, or the file is inaccessible. Check your client console (F8) after the playSound has executed, it will show any errors.

BASS ERROR 0 in PlayStream  b3D = false  path = music.mp3

try:

getSoundLength(mapMusic) 

This will return false if the file/url is invalid.

try:

getSoundLength(mapMusic) 

This will return false if the file/url is invalid.

It's returning 0, working and not working.

Oh, sorry my fault, it will always return 0 if you using an URL
