Hi, Every time I press the back button to Main Menu UI (where I have the game music set for the entire game), the song starts from the beginning. This did not happen in BB1 since it continued looping non-stop through the entire game even if i pressed Back whenever i wanted. Was this a new update from BB1 to BB2 or it is not supposed to be like this?
Stupid question here... did you put the music on each screen / world? If so... there's your problem. I haven't added music yet to my BB2 project, but I knew that in BB1 I just had to add the music to the first screen, and it would continue throughout the game.
No, i only add the music to the first screen. In BB1 as i said this didnt happen but im using BB2 and it happens.
Hey any news on this? I'm dealing with the same issue and would love a work around. My first game https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shade-avoid-space-zig-zag/id1094813844?mt=8 has music that loops forever and does not restart when returning to the home screen. This was made in BB1. I really want to do the same for my new game made in BB2.
This is confirmed NOT to be a bug. BB2 makes different use of the Game Mind Map and continuous music is not possible at the time! Update: you can make a loop between game field and game over UI which works as expected. So if you never go back to the main menu it seems to be continous. Slip Away makes use of this for example.
There are 2 possible work arounds. The final solution will be to allow the "Start" UI to have music. 1) Create a one time Main Menu... your game would only use this version of the Main Menu on startup... then it would visit the real Main Menu any other time. Your "fake" Main Menu would have the music. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5fzvfrozk8dthio/Screenshot 2016-05-31 15.15.32.png?dl=0 2) Create a pass through world between the Start UI and the Main Menu. Where the character appears over a menu jump and immediately forwards you to the Main Menu. The key here is that you need to start the music you want to loop through the whole game on a UI that you never visit again.
