A common scenario, usually with jam entries is when you need to loop an audio file through the whole game. Since we don’t want our music loop to restart on Scene changes, Components are out of the game here (pun intended). Instead, we might want to touch the otherwise not-very-popular CorePlugin, and make use of a recently introduced virtual method: CorePlugin.OnGameStarting.
static class AudioPlayer
{
public static void PlayMusic ()
{
// load the resource from the DATA folder
ContentRef<Sound> musicRes = ContentProvider.RequestContent<Sound> (@"DATA\Audio\Music.Sound.res");
// start playback
SoundInstance musicInstance = DualityApp.Sound.PlaySound (musicRes);
// set the returned SoundInstance to loop
musicInstance.Looped = true;
}
}
public class Duality_CorePlugin : CorePlugin
{
protected override void OnGameStarting ()
{
// start music with the game
AudioPlayer.PlayMusic ();
}
}
