How to play music

I need help with my script writing abt music…
How to pause music like morning sunrise and pause when the narrator speaks 1 line then after another different music plays. Mine just continuously play sunrise music until its gets to the line when there’s the different music…? (sorry for this annoying tread, im literally still learning :sweat_smile:)

It’s okay to ask questions like these if you want to learn.

You can either have the music or sound fade into the conversation by adding into your script using a couple of commands.
For one time sounds:

sound sound_name

For looping sound (usually for music):

music sound_name

To turn off the sound or music:

sound off
music off

To change the volume of the sound or music:

volume sound x T
volume music x T

x is the volume level from 0 to 100
T is time in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds is 1 second)

OH IT WORKED–
TYSMMMMM AGAIN :sweat_smile: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :star_struck:

Everytime you add music into your script, make sure it always looks like this together:

music shortmusic_sunrise
volume music 80 0

You can also have the music fade off instead of using
music off
by using
volume music 0 3000

Remember the 3 in 3000 is the amount of seconds you want it to take to fade off. If you want it to fade off in 4 seconds just do 4000. Always make sure to add 3 zeros at the end.

You can also have the music fade in, instead of
music shortmusic_sunrise
volume music 80 0
you can do this:
music shortmusic_sunrise
volume music 80 3000
