Different music for different skill levels ?

[Sandro]

I'm working on a project where the skill level changes the gameplay quite much, so depending on which one you choose I want to propose different musics to fit better with certain atmospheres set in the levels. Is it even possible ?
My first thought was with using a script with [wiki]GameSkill[/wiki] and [wiki]SetMusic[/wiki] like this example below, but it seems it's not working.

Code: Select all

Script 1 ENTER
{
    if (GameSkill () <= SKILL_EASY)
        SetMusic ("MUSIC1");
    else if (GameSkill () < SKILL_VERY_HARD)
        SetMusic ("MUSIC2");
    else
        SetMusic ("MUSIC3");
}

Any help please ?

How exactly is it not working? Does it try to change the music at all?

I would suggest changing it to OPEN and then make sure you have music lumps in your project named MUSIC1 exactly. Remember the D_ prefix is only appended if you prefix the lump name; meaning $MUSIC1 would look for D_MUSIC1, whereas just MUSIC1 expects a lump named MUSIC1 exactly.

It simply seems nothing happens, as if the script was incorrect.
A quick example :

The scripts haven't been compiled. There's only the source version which ZDoom does not use.

Ah thanks ! Apologies for this careless mistake ; I'm not really used to scripts yet.

(Actually it's the first I wrote with Slade and I did not know it needed a path to an acc exe, as my previous scripts were made with GZDB which already contains one...)
