[SOLVED]How do I play random audio?

Hello World,

So let's say my game has 5 tracks(songs). What I want to do is when the game starts pick one of those tracks at random and start playing it at the given volume(this is set in another layout by a slider), then when that track ends I want it to pick another track randomly from the other 4 that are left(so without including the one/ones it has already played) and so on untill it plays them all at which point I want it to repeat the whole thing, pick another track from all 5, etc.

So how would I do this? I'm guessing I have to use functions? Because if I just put the events in the menu layout(has it's own event sheet) and then a track ends while the player is in the middle of a level(different event sheet) then it wouldn't work without a call function event in every sheet?

But I have no idea how to do the events, specially for the random part, or how to define the tracks.... I can't give each of them a unique variable like you would do a normal object, I can't put them in a family.... Could I put them in an array? And how exactly would that work?

As you can see I am pretty confused, please help.

Thank you.

P.S. One more question which is not related to the above, but I figured it's not worth creating 2 topics one after the other. I just updated C2 to the latest stable version(206), wasn't it supposed to have an option to lock/cap the framerate? I can't seem to find it....

Using https://github.com/nutmix/RandomArray2 makes this easier.

The framerate option is in r210, not r206.

Interesting code blackhornet , but sadly your way doesn't seem to actually be random.

If I run your capx this is what I get:

As you can see it just goes 3-1-2-0, 3-1-2-0 on and on. So maybe it randomizes it the first time, but then it just repeats that pattern, it doesn't keep randomizing it...

Ok, that seems to be what I am looking for blackhornet , thank you. I just have 1 more problem and a question with this capx please.

The problem is I see 3 blank events in your capx, and from what I understand blank events run every tick. Is it possible to modify your capx to not use every tick? Is it absolutely necessary?

Once that's resolved the question is, so I put all of those events on my main layout event sheet, and then the only event I have to include in all the other event sheets is the last one, on current ended call playnext, right?

You misunderstand blank-events. Those are subevents of the function, that only get called within the function. They can't run "every-tick".

I would make a new event sheet with the sound code on it and include that in your other event sheets. Then you don't have to duplicate anything.

Ok, cool thank you very much blackhornet .
