How do I use a DC to loop music?

check out Falkoners Google Page for info on deathcounts I cant count on music looping to be there but
you should have a place with 2 locations and blank terrain (no loc)1 should be on/other is off



then if the player brings the unit to off set deathcounts back to 0 so it doesnt play is that how it works?(use DC's as switches?)

I don't understand what cheeze does there, but the easiest you can do is these 2 triggers:
(You will need only 1 location for the on/off switch and 1 DC for the delay to play the wav)
When the player moves the civ out of location 'Music on' the current music loop plays until its end and won't start again as long as the player keeps the civ out of the location.

Music counter:
Human Players
Conditions:
Always
Actions:
Subtract 1 for deaths of 'Music DC' for Current Player
Preserve

Music on:
Human Players
Conditions:
Current Player brings at least 1 civ to 'Music on'
Current Player has suffered exactly 0 deaths of 'Music DC'
Actions:
Set deaths of 'Music DC' to 1613 for Current Player
Play wav
Preserve

Thanks for the help. It worked. However, I'd like to know how you calculated 1613 for future reference.

Lenght of the wav in seconds * 11.8.
1 realtime second has 11.8 dc counts.
