Very Slight Music Cog Problem

My level plays a looping background music, but I've noticed that when I die and respawn, the music doesn't start back up again. Here's the cog:

Code:

# Simple cog to loop a bit of music ingame
# 03/2004 gbk
flags=0x240
Symbols
Message Startup
Sound Music
End
Code
Startup:
Playsoundlocal(Music, 1, 0, 0x1);
Stop;
End

Also keep in mind this is for MultiPlayer, so the cog needs to be local. If you can simply tweak this cog, please by all means do.

Replace Startup with the Newplayer message?

You mean the music stops after you respawn?

0_o ^ infinity

Are you testing via the debug menu or via the actual MP setup?
It probably matters not... *shrug*

Put a sleep(0.25) before your playsoundlocal() and see if that helps.

May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Thanks gbk, but I tried the new cog and the music never even started playing from startup. It just wasn't to be heard, even after I died. Possible causes/fixes?

Thankyou gbk. I seem to have had some success with this cog. The music is now at least playing initially again, but it still refuses to restart once the player dies. This is really perplexing...
