How to animate a sprite while a sound is playing
Hi,
I'm trying to animate a sprite while a sound is playing. I don't really want to have the loop hard coded because that would require a code change if the sound changes.
Below is the script so far but I know the reset of the PlayingMusic variable isn't right.
Thanks.whenspacekey pressedsetPlayingMusicto1play soundGuitarChords1forever ifPlayingMusic=1switch to costumeballerina-bwait0.1secsswitch to costumeballerina-cwait0.1secsswitch to costumeballerina-bwait0.1secsswitch to costumeballerina-asetPlayingMusicto0

The problem is that the forever if block checks the condition (if playingmusic=1) once, and then if true, will repeat forever. Try:
Foreverifplayingmusic=1do rest of code

A common misconception, it actually does the exact same thing.
If the sound is the same length as the animation, then you can just use BirdByte's script

^^^ This.
If the sound is not the same length, and you want it to be, then time the changing of the costumes differently.
