The scenario; a scream is heard, the normal level music stops and goes silent, then when the player interacts with a script area a monster noise plays and different (tense) music plays, then once the tense music has finished the normal music comes back on.

Now I have already done most of this, the only bit im having trouble with is making the normal music start playing again, here is my current script:

Code:
{

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "LoudNoise", true, 1);

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_5", "SuddenScare", true, 1);

}

void LoudNoise(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

                         {

                             PlaySoundAtEntity("", "05_event_door_bang", "ScriptArea_3", 0, false); 

                             StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_3", 3, 1, "");

                             SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(0);

                             SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(0);

                             SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(0);

                             AddTimer("Murder", 3, "Murder");

                             StopMusic(1, 1);

                         }

                     void Murder(string &in asTimer)

                         {

                             PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0.0f, false);

                             StopPlayerLookAt();

                             SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(1);

                             SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(1);

                             SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(1);

                         }

                     void SuddenScare(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

                         {

                             PlaySoundAtEntity("", "04_break", "ScriptArea_4", 0, false);

                             PlaySoundAtEntity("", "04_break02", "ScriptArea_4", 0, false);

                             StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_4", 5, 5, "");

                             SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(0);

                             SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(0);

                             SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(0);

                             AddTimer("ScarySound", 3, "ScarySound");

                         }

                     void ScarySound(string &in asTimer)

                         {

                             PlayMusic("01_event_dust", false, 2, 4, 0, true);

                             StopPlayerLookAt();

                             SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(1);

                             SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(1);

                             SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(1);

}

As it stands if I try to add the level music in it will start playing at the same time as the tense music, is there anyway to delay it with a timer or something?

Anyone? Im sure ive seen this done in other CS so it has to be possible.

What you use is:

Code:
void PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);

Plays music.asMusicFile - the music to play + extension .ogg

abLoop - determines whether a music track should loop

afVolume - volume of the music

afFadeTime - time in seconds until music reaches full volume

alPrio - priority of the music. Note that only the music with the highest priority can be heard! 0 - lowest, 1 - higher, etc.

abResume - if true, playback will be continued from where the track stopped after the call to StopMusic(); if false, the track will be restarted.

And

Code:
void StopMusic(float afFadeTime, int alPrio);

Stops music.afFadeTime - time in seconds until music stops

alPrio - the priority of the music that should stop
