Music and arrow trigger bug(possibly) | Geometry Dash Creator School | Page 1

The video sums it up Additional information: 1. I've changed the the channel using arrow triggers (right now it's 7) 2. Before I placed the speed portal like in the video, there has been only one speed portal in the previous section Attempts of fixing it: The video itself contains that. Plus, I have tried placing another arrow trigger to change channel (to 8) then place a speed portal (as channel 8), still doesn't work. I hope anyone who comes across this can find the solution to this issue. Thanks in advance !

This 2nd video provides more about the setup on previous part and about my 2nd attempt at fixing it

#

So I attempted to set them as playback position. As you can see, on setting the speed portals as that, the music doesn't start at the middle of the objects and on doing so different objects, the music just straight up gets silent or being replayed from the start.

do the start position triggers target channel 7? if you play the song before the arrow triggers, the music line syncs well?

native scroll Feb 27, 2025, 4:46 AM

#

Yes. And yes

#

If it’s needed I can provide a copy

#

if you instead of using channel 7, you use channel 0, does the bug still happen?

#

in my experience, start positions alongside arrow triggers makes trying to work with sync really wonky and buggy, so it's best to avoid it TenshiBall

You mean switch the channel back to 0 via a different arrow trigger?

if you want, but I can't check it rn

Sure lemme try

ye, or using the same trigger that changes to 7, but instead of 7 change it directly to 0

This happened when I press the song play button and not the play button

Just test this and now all the speed portals work properly

#

Except there is now a new problem

#

Every trigger past the arrow trigger (the one changes the CH to 0) just doesn't work

#

And now the start pos is completely out of sync

acoustic jewel Feb 27, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

huh

#

did you changed back all the triggers and portals back to channel 0?

native scroll Feb 27, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Yes I did

#

At channel 7 triggers work, and at 0, speed portals work

#

(I did change all of them to the correspond channel)'

acoustic jewel Feb 27, 2025, 5:00 AM

#

weird

native scroll Feb 27, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

This 3rd video will show you the set up

#

Depend on where you play the song

acoustic jewel Feb 27, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

I noticed there are reverse triggers above the arrow triggers, are you sure those are not messing the sync/triggers?

native scroll Feb 27, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

Yes, the arrow triggers set to only change channel

acoustic jewel Feb 27, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

Try deleting the reverse triggers, and only use the arrow triggers for sync and direction changes (except for the last arrow trigger, that should only change the channel since the direction is the same as before). Arrow triggers are more reliable than reverse triggers

native scroll Feb 27, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

Okay I just did the thing I, the problem stays the same

#

Ykw, thanks for your help

#

I guess I'd have to rebuild that section

#

Delete all the arrow triggers

#

I just found out that after the speed change section, the song works normally again

#

I guess this is unfixable and gotta live with it
