Looping PLAY statments in background of a game

[moochthemonkey]

How do I loop a PLAY statment continulously in the background? I just want to include a battle theme that is looped but I can't get it to work. I've used various thing, such as "MB" in the commandstring X + Varptr$ and even a similar example to the help files ON PLAY example but I can't see to get the game's music to keep on playing unless if I trigger something, like getting attacked by an enemy. Can anyone show me a good(hopefully simple) example to get this to work? Thanks

depends on how your game is made
if it is like

Code:

DO
'game stuff
LOOP

then it's simple (I think)
if it

Code:

DO
'wait for trigger
LOOP

then it's harder

ug If you find out tell me so I can teach you =P

No it's not DO...LOOP...Well the game is, except for when it's the character is walking around. Plus you cannot do it like that because the game won't loop while the PLAY statement is going on in the background..

a rude way to say you misread the manuel and should look at it -.-

"read the banana manuel"

Oh, so in other words "READ THE F****** MANUEL" ?

Manuel is a very common name in Spanish. I think you both mean "manual".
