Playback the displayed voice file again

[darlo]

Hi folks,
Today's problem is audio related. I'm after a way for players to play back the voice file that has just been played so they can check if they heard it correctly (my game is language-learning oriented so a repeat-button would be ideal).

Over the weekend I tried playing around with screens but didn't get anywhere, and this morning I took a stab at adding a button to the default in-game menu. I can't work out though how to get it to play the last used file.
What I have at the moment will play a specific file, but it will play it over everytime the scene progresses.
Any help?
Thank you.

Code: Select all

        xalign 1.0
        yalign 1.0

        textbutton _("Repeat") action voice("michelle/Michelle_247.ogg")#at the mo this just plays the line over and over
        textbutton _("Q.Save") action QuickSave()
        textbutton _("Q.Load") action QuickLoad()

        textbutton _("Skip") action Skip()
        textbutton _("Auto") action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")
        textbutton _("Prefs") action ShowMenu('preferences')

See http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/voice.html#voice-actions ? You probably want something like:

Code: Select all

        textbutton _("Repeat") action VoiceReplay()

Edit: Just a mo, I've realised that VoiceReplay was a part of the 6.15 update. I'll just update first.

Thanks for the rapid reply, that seems to be what I'm after. I'm having a wee bit of a problem though. Could you tell me where (and how) I need to define it?

That is absolutely perfect!
I was worried that it would just play the last voice file regardless of where the player was (including the players words, which are non-voiced) but it doesn't. This really was exactly what I was after.
Thanks.
