Need Help With Code For Sound, only one sound will play Options

[Dr. Zeus]

In my game I am trying to have it so when you are in certain places (cities, towns dungeons ect..) it will play a certain background music. However when your not in these places I want for there to be a generic background music playing. I wrote a code for this but the music will not switch when you get close to town.

My Code:

object: ctn_sound

Create event:

{

global.sound = 1

}

Step event:

{

if (global.sound = 0){ //if sound is off turn off background music
sound_stop(snd_World)
sound_stop(snd_Village)
exit;
}

else if (global.sound = 1){ //play snd_World
sound_loop(snd_World)
global.sound = 2
exit;
}

else if (global.sound = 3){ //play snd_Village
sound_loop(snd_Village)
global.sound = 4
exit;
}

}

object: ctn_(snd_village)

Step event:

{

if (global.sound = 0){ //if sound is off do nothing
exit;
}

else if (global.sound != 4) and (distance_to_object(obj_hero) < 600){ //if snd_village is not playing and distance to village is less than 600 play snd_Village
global.sound = 3
exit;
}

else if (global.sound = 4) and (distance_to_object(obj_hero) > 600){ //if snd_village is playing and distance to village is greater than 600 play snd_World
global.sound = 1
exit;
}

else{
exit;
}

}


This code displays no error messages and for some reason will only play snd_World even if you are within proximity of the village. Ctn_(snd_Village) is located within the town i am testing this in.

try draw the distance between player and the object, and you will be surpriced:

CODE

draw_text(0,0,string(distance_to_object(obj_hero)))

the reason for the huge distance seems to be because it uses the sprites it got to find the distance, and since your sound object don't have one.. well, then it thinks it's pretty far away..

you can either give it a sprite and set visible to false.. or use point_distance(x,y,obj_hero.x,obj_hero.y)

Thanks a lot. I just gave ctn_(snd_village) a sprite made it invisible and now it works great. Tyvm!
