Trying to make a sound channel loop once

[Prince Manic]

As I'm working on unreleased betas of my own Recreation of the Phoenix Wright engine I have an issue with sound channels trying to define the sound I need to use to play once while music is playing (that's how the game is)

Should I use this and put it in the options.py

Code: Select all

renpy.music.register_channel("nature", "sfx", True)

or this?

Code: Select all

renpy.music.register_channel("sfxstab", mixer= "sfx", loop=False)

The SFX of a stab needs to play once I've tried everything ^ this was in a old wiki cookbook and nothing, what I'm doing wrong here?

I've tried everything to make it loop once and stopping the music would be crazy as the real game doesn't stop when a sound is played.

What do you mean by "loop once"? Do you mean play once, or play twice?

I mean from loop once it plays just one time without repeating itself, I'm sure the music has to go to make it work as it defines only one channel at a time.

Is there a reason why you are registering your own channel rather than just using the default channels?
According to the documentation, the music channel loops by default, and the sound channel doesn't by default.

So you could just:

Code: Select all

play sound "sfxstab.mp3"

That would play that file only once on the sound channel.

Here is the documentation on audio:

Tried it at this part

Code: Select all

show Time
    play stab "sounds/sfx-stab.wav"

- unless it should be by the character label I'm not sure I'll try something else, I have the phoenix Wright like screen shake so trying to get the sound working too.

1) Why are you indenting after "show Time" that doesn't make any sense to me. And I'm think that'll result in some sort of problem.
2) Why are you playing "stab"? If you note what I wrote:

Code: Select all

play sound "sounds/sfx-stab.wav"

sound is the name of the default sound effects channel...so why aren't you using that?

It's one of those effects from the game like they're shocked or something I figured it out it was this with the this as part of the code

Code: Select all

                if start is None:
                    start = child.get_placement()
                #
                self.start = [ self.anchors.get(i, i) for i in start ]  # central position

                xpos, ypos, xanchor, yanchor = [ fti(a, b) for a, b in zip(self.start, sizes) ]

                xpos = xpos - xanchor
                ypos = ypos - yanchor
                
                nx = xpos + (1.0-t) * self.dist * (renpy.random.random()*2-1)

                return (int(nx), int(ny), 0, 0)
        
        def _Shake(start, time, child=None, dist=100.0, **properties):

            move = Shaker(start, child, dist=dist)

this was from the old cookbook wiki and I used this to replicate the shake from Phoenix wright this was clashing from the defined character at the end of this

Code: Select all

pw "{color=#ffffff}{font=phoenix_sans 2.ttf} {size=16}What You Seen was a Disslove like Effect from my game and it rendered her to me the sprites will be adjdusted to be on here bigger and fit on the screen{font}{/size}" with sshake

how I could add in the sound to the shake code and make it work once I've defind it with a dollar sign?

[trooper6]

Look, that code you are using is really, really old. You should use ATL for the shake, it is modern and much easier. There are a bunch of threads about it, but this one has Alex's shake transform:

Then you just call the shake and the sound one right after the other an they'll happen at the same time.

Yeah well since it clashed with it I'll get the newer pheonix wright styled one and add in the sound needed, I'll say I'll define the sound and use it if I need to.
