So, I'm making a game based on music and I have the small problem of it not advancing rooms when it stops like it is supposed to. My actions are

• If sound is not playing
• Start block
• If next room exists
• Start block
• go to next room
• set variable sound to zero (fixes a bug)
• exit event
• end block
• end block
• else
• start block
• restart current room
• set sound to 0
• exit event
• end block
• end block

I would highly appreciate help

How are you playing the sound?

Translationg your actions to code (with a little "free translation") I have this:

if sound_isplaying(snd_music)==false
 {
 if room!=room_last
  {
  room_goto_next()
  sound=0
  exit
  }
 }
 else
  {
  room_restart()
  sound=0
  exit
  }
 }

First of all, it will restart your room if the music IS playing. So, I assume this is not on step event, or the bug would be really annoying. In which event is it?
Second, you're ending more blocks than you're starting. There must be something else that you're not telling us. Tell it, because there seems to be no reason to remain at the current room without tha music playing.

Or is it on step event, but into an "if" statement that you're not showing? Perhaps that "if" is returning false.

If it would help, i'll  post a copy of my game for you guys/ girls to look over. It's in the step event of my control object, and I will post the file when i get back to school tomorrow

I would prefer if you posted your step event, because I can't always run game maker.
But I'd bet someone else would be able to.
