Need Help With Sound Player

[blackfire88]

Hey, I want to have music constantly running on my server, but i don't know how. Could someone create a lua file that plays all the sounds in sounds/music/killingtime
Each one after another, but once all the files have been played, it plays them again?

EDIT:
[lua]local songs = file.Find("sounds/music/killingtime/*.mp3") //change to .wav if its a .wav Gets a list of the songs[/lua]

I'm pretty sure you could do something like this
[lua]
local songs = file.Find( "sounds/music/killingtime/*.mp3" )
RunConsoleCommand( "play", songs )
[/lua]

Untested but the idea is there, right?

You have to give file.Find true as second argument.

You cannot play a table.

hmm, ok, so the first one finds the files, so now how do we play them?
could you do:

RunConsoleCommand( "play", "sounds/music/killingtime/*.wav")

without sounds. play is relative to sounds folder, meaning you jsut have to do "play","music/killingtime/<songname>.wav")

Or you could use

local RealDirectory = string.sub(songs[1],"sounds/","")

"play", RealDirectory

Yeah, but what for.
What if i have like sounds/entity/sounde/engine.wav. It would break it.

[lua]local files = file.Find("../sound/music/killingtime/*.mp3")
local playing = false
local playingID = 0
hook.Add("Think", "KillingTimeMusic", function()
if(playing == false) then
playingID = ((playingID + 1) % #files) + 1
local file = "music/killingtime/"..files[playingID]
local length = SoundDuration(files)
surface.PlaySound(file)
timer.Simple(length, function() playing = false end)
end
end)[/lua]

Untested, looks like it should work though.

[blackfire88]

sound's great, i'll test it!

see the pun? Sound's great...
I'm hopeless.

also, one more thing. I want it to be so that if someone types !stopmusic the current song stops for them only.

so clientside (probably another lua file)

You have to put it in a .lua file and run it with lua_openscript_cl.

[blackfire88]

Unknown command "lua_openscript_cl"

Are you even in garrys mod are you are trying to do this in another source game?

[Gran PC]

:doh:

[beasty]

[QUOTE=blackfire88;29608125]Unknown command "lua_openscript_cl"[/QUOTE]

lua_openscript_cl <What you are opening here>

EDIT: in the console, incase you didn't know..

[King Flawless]

[QUOTE=beasty;29611407]lua_openscript_cl <What you are opening here>[/QUOTE]

How is this helpful? if you just put lua_openscript_cl it wont give you error an unknown command error

[blackfire88]

yes this is garry's mod.and yes i did it in console.
