Hi all I have been looking online and have been trying to implement this and I’m getting absolutely no luck. I’m trying to get a sound file (music track) to play and continue to play through level changes and when the level restarts i.e. when the level restarts, the music should not restart but sh…

You certainly can do this with level streaming, play the music in the persistent. I thought there was a simpler way, but… EDIT: Ok, yeah, you have to play it from the game instance. It also has to be assigned to a variable: [319795-screenshot-3.jpg] In the level BP ( of the first level ): [31…

Thanks! This code is getting somewhere. I’m noticing that if the level restarts, it seems to trigger the music again, so that multiple instances of the track are playing at once. Are you getting this as well with your code? EDIT: It only happens on Level 1, which makes sense as that is the Level t…

It could do. Just change the start code to this: [319789-screenshot-1.jpg]

This is fantastic. Thank you very much - you have saved me lots of time and this is a such a great clean solution. I have marked this question as answered. There is one final element I wish to set up, and that is to put into a future Level the capability to change the music that is playing. I have …

A slight variation on the ‘play music’ custom event. Instead of just checking if the reference is valid, it can check if the specified piece is already playing. If not, then stop anything that is playing and play the new piece instead. Will put up a graph in a mo… boom: [319811-screenshot-2.jpg…

This is extremely useful and so easy to work with. Thank you again! Another question has come to my mind - what is a clean way to ensure that the desired music plays when the player loads the game and starts from a Level that is not the first Level that triggers the desired music? One solution wou…

Why not start it from the game instance? That way it will always play regardless of level…

Interesting. I have 2 questions regarding this approach: How do I trigger an event from Game Instance? Event BeginPlay does not seem to be available in a Game Instance. How can I control which sound file plays for which level if the PlaySound function is in the Game Instance? For instance, how…

In the GI, it’s called Event Init. If you want different music for each level, then do what you’re doing now - ie - make a call to the GI from the level BP. That’s the best place for it :slight_smile:

how would i stop the sound on a level if i didn’t want music
