Looping an ambient music script.

[EO 9030]

I have 5 pieces of music that will play during a scenario, so far everything checks out well with what I have, however, I would like to add a loop at the end of the script to rinse and repeat. 

 

This is what I have in my playmusic.sqf 

["1","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 213;

["2","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 237;

["3","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 374;

["4","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 244;

["5","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 239;

Any help with how to loop this script would be greatly appreciated.

Hi EO, this should probably do the trick mate:

while {true} do
{
["1","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 213;

["2","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 237;

["3","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 374;

["4","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 244;

["5","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 239;
};

addMusicEventHandler

I use this script for my SP missions:

_track = _this select 0;
_repeat = _this select 1;
_onload = _this select 2;

removeAllMusicEventHandlers "MusicStop";
removeAllMissionEventHandlers "Loaded";

if (_repeat == 1) then {call compile format ["addMusicEventHandler ['MusicStop',{['%1', %2, %3] execVM 'music.sqf';}]", _track, _repeat, _onload];};
if (_onload == 1) then {call compile format ["addMissionEventHandler ['Loaded',{['%1', %2, %3] execVM 'music.sqf';}]", _track, _repeat, _onload];};

3 fademusic 0;
sleep 3.2;
playmusic format ["%1",_track];
3 fademusic 1;

It's not really what you need but it could give you some ideas. Change the

_track = _this select 0;

for some random / sequential track selection and you should be good. E.g.:

_tracks = ["some", "tracks", "here"];
call compile format ["addMusicEventHandler ['MusicStop',{_track = selectRandom %1; [_track] execVM 'music.sqf';}]", _tracks];
