Set and return absolute position of music tracks
-
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.

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.
-
@bosswave I totally agree with that, It would be so useful!
-
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.

This feature will definitely be handy. It's one of those simple functionalities that make things 100 times better. :)

@bosswave said in Set and return absolute position of music tracks:
n 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 TimGet Music settings was a bug. Fixed in the latest update that is being released soon!

@Hamed Great! I honestly didn’t know it was already a feature lol. Will we also be able to input a music track’s time?
-
Bruh I’m on IPad rn and I cant make any games why?

@MyVibes If you're using hyperPad viewer, you won't be able to create projects. You only have the ability to play projects.
