Post #4 ROBLOX

What did you do?

What I did today was make a simple tutorial on how to get background music on your game using a template from a useful ROBLOX developer known as Cindering. He helps new developers with his tools on how to get background music or other things but I will help explain it a little bit easier because his tutorial is all on the script and jumbled.

 BACKGROUND MUSIC

First of all things, go into toolbox and look up 'Background Music', the first choice should be Cinderings with the blue music note and background. Insert it into your game.

This is what it should look like, if it doesn't your doing something wrong.

After doing so open up Explorer, it should be in the model tab on the top, look for a 'Cindering's Background Music Toolkit' and open the contents by pressing the arrow next to the RGB brick icon. Since this tutorial is for background music playing all the time, you want to open up the '[1] Global Background Music' and click on the sound icon. Next up, finding audio for us to use as background music.

Now getting to the sound library is simple, go to ROBLOX.com and sign in if you must then go to 'Create' on the homepage then click to 'Library' then there should be a tab on the side saying audio click on that and there we go. Audio for us to use as background music.

Now what music your using is completely up to you but what we are using is Sweet Home Alabama for a laugh. Now if you looked at my last post about the morph. The process is basically the same where you go into the address bar of your browser (ex. https://www.roblox.com/library/2951967620/Lynyrd-Skynyrd-Sweet-Home-Alabama) and copy the numbers that are in the link with CTRL + C

Following the video, you go into explorer, click the sound icon and then go into properties which should be already open if not go to the model tab on the top and reopen it. Once doing so you wanna go find SoundID and replace the already existing ID with the one you copied from the Sweet Home Alabama. Then your done go test out the product and you'll hear Sweet Home Alabama playing in the background!

There we have it! Background music for you to enjoy as you stare into the sunset of Sweet Robloxian Alabama.

What did you learn?
I learned how to make music zones for specific music to play when I enter certain areas and a bit of scripting. It was just changing numbers but hey, you gotta start somewhere. I used this option in my obby and when you beat it. It played Kool & The Gang Celebration. It was really fun to work with and easy to do it!



What will you do tomorrow?
I think what I will do tomorrow is work on some more building instead of morphing and music stuff and see what I can make that's interesting and cool.
