Set and return absolute position of music tracks
-
This could also help with making sure rhythm games are perfectly synced I think.
@Aidan_Fire Good point! I think it would also make it possible to create a “dynamic” music track that gets more or less intense depending on the situation. Definitely would open up a fair amount of possibilities.

As the title states, would it be possible to add the ability to set and return a music track’s absolute position from the Play Music behavior?
Mostly, I believe this would be great for slo-mo segments. I know Set Time Scale has an option to affect music, but I’m not exactly a fan of the key being changed. This way, we’d be able to create a regular music track and a slowed down version that we can switch back and forth between seamlessly while adding any additional desired effects to the slo-mo track (Like muffling the sound, for example).
While I’m on the topic of the Play Music behavior, would it also be possible to add the ability to preload tracks? I find my games usually pause completely for a good second or two when a track begins to play.

There is this existing behaviour: Get Music Settings - currentTime, but it only outputs 1 or 0, is this a bug? I thought currentTime might return the current position of the song but it pretty much does the same thing as isPlaying.

@Aidan_Fire That’s interesting. I assume it’s probably a bug.
Although switching between tracks would still cause the game to stop for a moment. Is there currently a way around this that you know of?

I’ve never tried to switch between musics. What if you play the music as a sound rather than music?

@Aidan_Fire Good idea! I do believe I remember trying this way in the past on gamepress, but I don’t remember why I didn’t continue doing so. I’ll mess around with it when I get home tomorrow and see what kind of results I get.

Mostly, I believe this would be great for slo-mo segments. I know Set TimGet Music settings was a bug. Fixed in the latest update that is being released soon!
