Hey guys, as i was creating a game i added a music track. The problem is that when i change scenes, using the “Pause and start a New scene” and then go back to the scene using “Stop and go back to previous scene” The music stops. It just doesn’t continue. I tried multiple actions such as pause and un pause, but they didn’t seem to work. How i would like the music to function: When i change to the 2nd Scene, the music should pause (Not stop) and when i go back to 1st scene the music should continue. So, guys, any help?
I would think that the music is paused with the scene, but if it doesn’t work, as you said, you’ll have to save the offset manually 
There is an expression to get the music playing offset, and an action to set the offset too. When you pause the scene A and go to scene B you can save the music offset in a variable on scene A, as it’s a scene variable it’ll be saved in A because A is paused. Then you go to B, when you return to A you can set the music playing offset = the saved variable.
A numeric variable is 0 by default, so the first time you load the scene A the offset will be 0, and the music will play from the beginning, no problem here:
[code]Conditions: At the beginning of the scene
Actions: Play the music on channel 0
Set the playing music offset = Variable(music_offset)
Conditions: Conditions to go to B
Actions: Do = MusicChannelPlayingOffset(0) to the variable “music_offset”
Pause this scene and go to scene “B”[/code]
Not sure if the “At the beginning of the scene” is launched again if the scene has been unpaused, if it isn’t launched you’ll have to add a variable that works every time the scene is unpaused:
[code]Conditions: Variable “unpaused” is = 1
Actions: Play the music on channel 0
Set the playing music offset = Variable(music_offset)
Do = 0 to the variable “unpaused”
Conditions: Conditions to go to B
Actions: Do = MusicChannelPlayingOffset(0) to the variable “music_offset”
Do = 1 to the variable “unpaused”
Pause this scene and go to scene “B”[/code]
Hey! Thanks for the tip, but i still didn’t solve my issue as i cannot seem to find an action called: Do = MusicChannelPlayingOffset(0) to the variable “music_offset” (Sorry, I’m new to this stuff)
It can be a problem when the wording of the events doesn’t make it clear where the exact action can be found. In this case a scene variable is being altered, so you need to go to
Add an action: Variables>Value of a variable
and type music_offset in the Variable: box and then type MusicChannelPlayingOffset(0) in the Value: box.
This assumes you have already created a scene variable called ‘music_offset’. If you haven’t created it, then you need to right-click on the name of the scene in the Project manager window and choose ‘Modify initial variables’. Click the + and then type music_offset. The variable now exists so it can then be altered in an action.
Once you’ve done all this, the event will look like what Lizard-13 typed.
Just want to note:
- My example also assumes you are playing the music in channel 0 (zero), that’s the reason for the “0” in the expression “MusicChannelPlayingOffset(0)”
- It isn’t necessary to create the variable in the scene variables dialog manually, but doing it lets you set an initial value and choose the variable easily in scene conditions/actions dialogs. When a condition/action refers to a variable that has not been created, GD will create it automatically and set default values (0, “”). I think it’s good to know becuase there are lots of GD examples that use uninitialized variables, this gave me problems when I started as I though the same (that you have to create the variables)
As I was typing that out I started to think that surely there must be a way to create new variables in events too, but I had never seen a “Create variable” action. I suppose it’s the same idea as with timers - there’ s no “create timer” action either, they are just magically created when you try to pause or reset one. Good to know. 
Alright, i managed to do it. Works Perfectly! Thank you guys!!
i need this on russian, bcuz i use translator :\
