[solved] Declaring Sounds

[rinrin]

Can sounds be declared (like images are)?

Since

Code: Select all

image imagename = "location/of/image.png"

lets you work with "imagename" from then on, I thought something like

Code: Select all

sound soundname = "location/of/sound.ogg"

would work in a similar way, but it doesn't. Is there a way to do something like that? Having to use full file paths everywhere is getting very impractical.

You can do something like this:

Code: Select all

define soundName = "path to sound file"

or

Code: Select all

$ soundName = "path to sound file"

When you redefine music and sound channel, then you can add file_prefix="bgm/" and file_suffix=".ogg"

Thank you!

Code: Select all

define soundName = "path to sound file"

worked!

Code: Select all

$ soundName = "path to sound file"

didn't (not sure why).

Anyway, problem solved.

That's an interesting idea! I might try that next.
