Playing Mids on Gmap

[KuJi]

I have a script which plays mids on the overworld. Well, for some reason you only hear the sounds if you go into a room, and then go back outside. And it will only play that sound for that level.

Anyway, hopefully someone knows a fix.

I am using stef midis. (stef3/27/32/51 etc.. )
Using play("stef32.mid"); for example.

If you know a fix, don't be scared, please reply. :O

Use a system NPC to play the music for each level.

PHP Code:

this.midi = {"stef3", "stef23", "stef7"};
this.midi.stef3 = {"level2.nw", "level3.nw", "level4.nw"};
this.midi.stef23 = {"level5.nw", "level6.nw", "level7.nw", "level8.nw"};
this.midi.stef7 = {"level9.nw", "level10.nw"};
for (a: this.midi) {
  if (makevar("this.midi." @ a).index(player.level) >= 0) playlooped(a @ ".mid");
}

I never understood your obsession with makevar().

("this.midi." @ a) has only worked for me once.

this.midi.(@ a) or so.

Hmm, can you explain exactly what 'makevar' does? It sounds like it would make a variable, but why make a variable that already exists?

PHP Code:

this.blahani = "carrystill";
this.pblah = "ani";
this.pani = "blah";
setani(makevar(this.pani @ this.pblah),null); 


would inevitably give you carrystill. old gscript equivalent of #s(#s(something))

It takes a string and returns the variable that the string indicates.

So, it merges the variables together?

It takes a string value (the string value can be stored in variables), and returns the variable of the name of the string value.

Well, a link to the variable.

It is infinitely clearer than the obscure this.(@) thing!

I disagree. I find it easier to read over and recognise variable prefixes to identify variables than seeing "makevar".

Well, your opinion is wrong.
Clearly.

makevar is easier for writing.
this.(@) thing is easier for reading.
makevar, however, is a lot more flexible.

That is 100% your opinion.

How do you figure?
