Login music

[oldnag]

i was just wondering can i make just music play only on the login screen and stop playing when the player spawns ingame

[oldnag]

this is the code i have

function startSound ( ) -- Adding the function 
    playSound ( "music.mp3", false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource ( ) ), startSound ) 
function stopMySound() 
    stopSound( sound ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement() stopMySound )

Use: "onClientPlayerSpawn" and attach it to the local player instead of to the root element.

Also, you forgot to define "sound":

sound = playSound ( "music.mp3" ) 

And use destroyElement instead of stopSound.

[oldnag]

ok i changed to this and still no sound plays

function startSound ( )  
    sound = playSound ( "music.mp3" ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource ( ) ), startSound ) 
  
function stopMySound() 
    destroyElement( sound ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer() stopMySound ) 
  

[Castillo]

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer() stopMySound ) 

That's wrong, should be:

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer, stopMySound ) 

Also, check if the sound exist, because the player won't spawn just once, so, use:

isElement 

to check if the sound element exists before attemp to destroy it.

i have taken out the destry sound atm but still nothing playes when i join the login screen

[Castillo]

You got me wrong, I didn't told you to remove destroyElement.

function stopMySound ( ) 
    if isElement ( sound ) then 
        destroyElement ( sound ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer, stopMySound )

ok i tryed that mate but the music still plays after i spawn in

function loginMusic ()  
    local sound = playSound("music.mp3", false) 
    setSoundVolume(sound, 3.2) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), loginMusic) 
  
function stopMySound ( ) 
    if isElement ( sound ) then 
        destroyElement ( sound ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer, stopMySound ) 

[Castillo]

That's because you made your sound variable local:

local sound = playSound("music.mp3", false) 

Should be:

function loginMusic () 
    sound = playSound("music.mp3", false) 
    setSoundVolume(sound, 3.2) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, loginMusic) 
  
function stopMySound ( ) 
    if isElement ( sound ) then 
        destroyElement ( sound ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer, stopMySound ) 

[oldnag]

ah yea thanks

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

And use destroyElement instead of stopSound.

Why would one use destroyElement instead of stopSound?

[Castillo]

Hmm, if I'm right, before it didn't destroy the element, but I may have read wrong, so I guess there's no difference.

[ixjf]

It does,

The sound element is also destroyed.

Yes, I checked it before reply to your post.
