turf/door/cavedoor
     icon = 'blah.dmi'
     icon_state = "blah"
     Enter(mob/M) //when the mob enters the turf
         M << sound(null) //stop music manually
         M << sound('blah.mid') //play the other, put a ,1 after the sound file if you want it to repeat.


Do the same thing for leaving the cave.

Not Enter(). Entered().

My bad, but does it really matter all the much? I've been wondering that.

It does. Enter() is completely different from Entered().
Enter() should contain code that has to do with, "Can a mob/obj enter this?". Entered() is for code that should run once that's already certain, and has happened.

Your code, for example, would fail to work, since you neglected to return 1 or 0, to say if the movement should be allowed or not.

Erhm, he just wanted to know how to do music. I just added that in as a quick little thing. Of course it won't work, it's not supposed to. It's just an example of how music would work. But yeah, change it to Entered(), that's my fault.

Another good reason is that Enter() is often used in other code to check if you can enter something, without moving into it. Pathfinding algorithms might use it, for example.

You don't want the music to trigger because a pathfinding algorithm checked whether you could enter that square.

Finally, it would still start playing if you failed to enter the square - say, someone else was standing on it.

You passed mob/m as an argument and are using M. Case sensitive!
