Ren'Py In-game SFX is still playing on [Main Menu]

Hello everyone,
I may need some help today regarding SFX. Apparently, whenever I head over to the Main Menu, the current SFX that is being played in the story is still playing even if you are no longer in the story mode.
I heard that there is a
stop play script but I don't know any commands on where to put it.
This is the code that I currently have at the start of the game.
Code: Select all
scene black with Pause(1)
play sound ("SFX/chirpingBirds.wav") fadeout 1.0
scene Gym with fade
show sample
I was wondering if there is a way that I can end the SFX if ever a player or myself decide to go to the Main Menu regardless if the sound that is being played is over or not.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try adding
into the action of the button you use to go to the main menu.

Hello NineBells,
Thank you for your reply, I have tried your suggestion but I only end up receiving an error. I don't know if the exact codes were right or if I placed the codes correctly. Regardless of this, kindly see the following codes below and let me know the error(s) that is in my script.
From screens.rpy
Code: Select all
screen navigation():
vbox:
style_prefix "navigation"
xpos gui.navigation_xpos
yalign 0.5
spacing gui.navigation_spacing
if main_menu:
textbutton _("Start") action Start()
Stop("SFX/chirpingBirds.wav")
I am guessing that I might have placed it in the wrong part of the scripts but please show me an example of where to put it.
Thank you in advance!

Try this:
Code: Select all
textbutton _("Start") action [Stop("sound"), Start()]

Hello NineBells,
I am very pleased to let you know that this part has worked!
I can now able to stop ongoing sounds that are still playing when heading back to the Main Menu. However, the sounds are already being cut-off during the confirmation dialogue box (asking you to confirm your decision to go to the Main Menu). As for that, I cannot find the codes for the confirmation box in any of my scripts. I tried tracing the confirmation dialogue but I couldn't find it.
Below is the sample of the confirmation dialogue box that I am talking about.
I hope you could help me out on this one. Thank you in advance!

It might be better to stop the sounds using the "on show" command withing the main menu?
I can't think of a way right now, but the documentation may have some clues.

Hello Imperf3kt,
I apologize for the late reply as I was so caught up with my irl job. I find the documentation to bear less information on what I need I'm afraid. However, upon checking some of the recently solved threads related to my concern, I found some helpful tips for fixing my problems. Regardless, thank you for your reply and I appreciate it very much!
