CD music won't stop playing Created 16 years ago2007-12-24 01:39:20 UTC by srry

I used a trigger_cdaudio to turn some Half-Life music on in a map, and then another one to stop it from playing, but when the next map loads the music starts up again, and won't stop, even if I've placed another trigger_cdaudio in to make it stop. The music also loops indefinitely, which I find strange. This is in Steam's Half-Life, by the way.

What's the map properties? Like cd track to play? That have anything to do with it?

Yeah, I tried both ways of starting the music: Through the map properties as you mentioned, and using a trigger_cdaudio. They both behaved the same. :

crap man, i'm out of ideas :

No idea here either. Post the ent setup in the problem vault.

Sorry, I'm not posting the maps, they're part of my mod. I've told you everything about the setup, and there's not much to it...trigger_cdaudio has only two properties. I've used one entity to turn on track 24, and the other is set to "stop".

Maybe I'll decompile a Half-Life map later and see if they did it differently.

Edit: Okay, I think I might know what it is. The player is teleported into a dark box before the level changes, and is standing inside the trigger_cdaudio (the one that's supposed to turn the song off) when the change occurs. Maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know. Also, when the map starts, the player is immediately spawned inside the trigger_cdaudio that makes the music start. That might cause the looping, so I'll try triggering it with a trigger_auto one second after the level starts.These are complete guesses, but who knows.

Edit 2: Well, my sound is still continuing into the following map after the level change, but that fixed the looping problem at least. :
