qwertyuiop666 asked a question about how one would go about changing the background music in an area when a player walks over a trigger. Here's his question:

I would like to have the music change when the player walks down a path. I am assuming that the best option is to do it from a generic ground trigger to change the music playing when I step on it? I managed to make a trigger that stops the current song. That was easy. I made the ground trigger and then in the "On Enter Script" I just used the "ga_music_stop" script from the drop down.

Shaughn78 and Melirinda were kind enough to give some helpful suggestions. Here is the script that Shaughn78 eventually posted with some minor tweaks for readaiblity:

void main()
{
	object oEnter = entering object;
	object oArea = GetArea(oEnter);
	int nMusic = GetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"music");
	int nDefault = GetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"default");
	int nCurrent = Get Current Music;
	int nOnce = GetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"once");
	if(!GetIsPC(oEnter)) 
	{
		return;
	}
	if (nOnce == 0)
	{
		SetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"once",1);
		SetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"default",nCurrent);
	}
	if(nCurrent != nMusic)
	{
		MusicBackgroundChangeDay(oArea, nMusic);
	}
	else
	{
		MusicBackgroundChangeDay(oArea, nDefault);
	}
}
