How do you check when an ME is playing?, Can't work out how to script it Options

[steve09424]

Hello!

As you know, BulletXT Audio Engine 1.2 doesn't stop the BGM temporarily when a ME is played. I was just wondering how you add a little script to it that will tell the audio engine to pause the map BGM, the play the ME, then resuming the map BGM.

Please help.
Thanks!

Hopefully this is what you were looking for and I'm also hoping that this is compatible with your Audio Engine:

I get an error when an ME is played "Unable to find file #<RPG::BGM:0x2b657e0>". It could be due to the new Audio engine, and I've tried the script above and below it. I'll see if I can tinker with it a bit more so I can get it to work.

Thanks for replying!
