Intro Music

[MrGrimm 10]

Ive seen posts on this for ARMA 2 but not 3. Being very new to scripts and running these types of servers would anyone be willing to help me add a small music intro file i have made to my servers mission file ?

[BullyBoii 10]

in the description.ext mission file place this code

class cfgMusic
{
  class **put class name here**
  {
       name = "**put name here**"//this is what will be displayed in the editor (make it look nice)
       sound[] = {"**filename**", db+1,1};//filename with path, loudness, pitch
   };
};

replace the parts with in ** with your own names

Hope this helps

Thx for the help...is that all i have to do? Will this work on intro ? Thx again!

[MrGrimm 10]

Anyone ? :)

I am sorry i cannot be more help, however, I am pretty sure that you have to call for the sound to be played at missions start once this is done.. As far as exactly how, your best bet is to do what i do... De-PBO another mission that has intro music, and see how they did it..

Yes it will work on intro... in your intro script all you need is a line

playMusic [i]track1[/i]

assuming of course your music file is called "track1"

class cfgMusic
{
  class track1
  {
       name = "track1";
       sound[] = {"sounds\tune.ogg", db+1,1}; 
   };
};

Thx for the help...But i dont have an intro script??

[SavageCDN 231]

ah sorry you said it wasn't working on intro... put that line at the end of the init.sqf file in your mission folder.

playMusic survival

[SavageCDN 231]

perhaps just a copy/paste issue but you are missing a ";" at the end of the playmusic survival line as well as name = "survival" line

You also need quotes around the track name ie: playMusic "survival";

Thank you ever so much dont know how long ive been trying to do this Thank

[SavageCDN 231]

If you aren't already I suggest using Notepad ++ with the Arma 3 syntax file installed.. .it's very useful for checking syntax errors like these
