Hi,

We switched to MP3 for music and WAV for sound effects for HTML5 version now.
We have a problem with "PauseMusic()" not working?
When we do "PauseMusic()" the music pauses for 2 seconds and then continues playing?
Any idea what the issue is?

Thanks in advance...

Jesse

Game is currently closed source, but we can show small code below:

elseif ThisIconWasPressed(2) = TRUE
			if (GamePausedStatus = FALSE)
				GamePausedStatus = TRUE
				
				GamePaused = 50

SetDelayAllUserInput()

SetSpritePositionByOffset( GamePausedBG, (ScreenWidth/2), (ScreenHeight/2) )
				
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[0], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[1], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[4], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[5], 1 )

IconScreenY[1] = 622
				SetSpritePositionByOffset( Icon[4], IconScreenX[1], IconScreenY[1] )

if (UseMP3andWAV = FALSE)
					PauseMusicOGG(MusicTrack[CurrentlyPlayingMusicIndex])
				elseif (UseMP3andWAV = TRUE)
					PauseMusic()
				endif
			elseif (GamePausedStatus = TRUE)
				if (GamePaused = -1)
					GamePausedStatus = FALSE

GamePaused = 50

SetDelayAllUserInput()

SetSpritePositionByOffset( GamePausedBG, -9999, -9999 )
					
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[0], 2 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[1], 2 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[4], 10 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[5], 2 )

IconScreenY[1] = -9999
					SetSpritePositionByOffset( Icon[4], IconScreenX[1], IconScreenY[1] )
					
					if (UseMP3andWAV = FALSE)
						ResumeMusicOGG(MusicTrack[CurrentlyPlayingMusicIndex])
					elseif (UseMP3andWAV = TRUE)
						ResumeMusic()
					endif
				endif
			endif

+ Code Snippet

		elseif ThisIconWasPressed(2) = TRUE
			if (GamePausedStatus = FALSE)
				GamePausedStatus = TRUE
				
				GamePaused = 50

				SetDelayAllUserInput()

				SetSpritePositionByOffset( GamePausedBG, (ScreenWidth/2), (ScreenHeight/2) )
				
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[0], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[1], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[4], 1 )
				SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[5], 1 )

				IconScreenY[1] = 622
				SetSpritePositionByOffset( Icon[4], IconScreenX[1], IconScreenY[1] )

				if (UseMP3andWAV = FALSE)
					PauseMusicOGG(MusicTrack[CurrentlyPlayingMusicIndex])
				elseif (UseMP3andWAV = TRUE)
					PauseMusic()
				endif
			elseif (GamePausedStatus = TRUE)
				if (GamePaused = -1)
					GamePausedStatus = FALSE

					GamePaused = 50

					SetDelayAllUserInput()

					SetSpritePositionByOffset( GamePausedBG, -9999, -9999 )
					
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[0], 2 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[1], 2 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[4], 10 )
					SetSpriteDepth ( Icon[5], 2 )

					IconScreenY[1] = -9999
					SetSpritePositionByOffset( Icon[4], IconScreenX[1], IconScreenY[1] )
					
					if (UseMP3andWAV = FALSE)
						ResumeMusicOGG(MusicTrack[CurrentlyPlayingMusicIndex])
					elseif (UseMP3andWAV = TRUE)
						ResumeMusic()
					endif
				endif
			endif

GamePaused = 50

... Is being set whether the GamePausedStatus is TRUE or FALSE

Could that be causing a problem in one of the other functions ?

Can't tell if you are changing that somewhere else, but found it odd that it would need to be set to the same value for a TRUE and FALSE

Can you please explain what is the desired effect of:

GamePausedStatus = FALSE & GamePausedStatus = TRUE

What does the variable GamePaused control?

????????

It looks like just a toggle boolean for using the switch to go on and off.

It was having the same value for the other variable that seemed a bit out of place for me, but hard to figure without knowing what that is for and how it is being adjusted elsewhere.

Yep. I reason that the GamePaused variable might have something to do with that. I would suggest changing the condition of the elseif statement to something impossible, meaning:

elseif (GamePausedStatus = TRUE) and ElvisPresley = 77

Making sure you define ElvisPresley = 0 or something, just to check whether the second if statement is responsible for the resume of the Music. In the case it does not resume, then it would appear the problem will be with GamePaused = -1 condition, cause when you pause the music in the first if statement it sets the GamePausedStatus = TRUE which would activate the 2nd if statement, only GamePaused = -1 can stop it from executing, which might the actual problem, cause as you say it takes 2 seconds to resume, so something to do with time and delay.
