I'm trying to make music fade in at random parts of a track.

I have in Start of Layout Event:
Audio Play "tag" at volume -100 looping Audio Seek To random(Audio.Duration("tag")) Audio Fade to 0 over 3 seconds, then keep playing

but the music always starts at the beginning, it won't seek. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I put the Seek in a Keyboard Press 1 Event and it worked, so I put in Trigger Once Event and it did NOT work.

Is this a thing where it requires a user action? if so, how do I get around it? You should be able to automatically start a music loop at random points...right?

I figured a work around. You need to put a wait after the initial play action. And it can't be a Wait 0. You have to wait at least 1 second (I think). No idea why it needs that.. maybe it has to cue up the file before you can seek? Makes for a little clugey coding but it works. Just another lovely undocumented feature... :)
