PlayMusic

Parameters

musicName

string

The path to the music file.

comment

Sets the file as the current music for the map, and plays it.

bug

Only ever plays the first song played with this native. Trying to play another song just plays the first one again. Tested on patch 1.36.2.2130.

note

Music is on its own channel and can be toggled on and off within the Warcraft III game menu.

bug

This native may cause a short lag spike as soon as the music starts. To circumvent this lag, stop the current music without fadeout before calling this function (call StopMusic(false)).

note

Should work with mp3s, midis and wavs.

note

If musicName is a semicolon-delimited list, the whole list of music is played.
