[Solved] Playing sound when clicking choice menu

#1 Post by borisoda »

Hello!

I am pretty much using the default renpy options and

I want a sound play after clicking a choice during the visual novel.

I don't want any other UI sound than this. (Don't want sound when you click other buttons like in config menu, title menu textbox shortcuts etc)

Does anyone know how to do this?

P.S. It would be nice if there's also a way to play a sound when you hover over the choice menu as well..

Thank you very much for your time. Your help is appreciated!

I know exactly what you're talking about. You want to navigate to screens.rpy and find the "Choice" screen. You want to replace where it says "button:" with this:

Code: Select all

button:
    action [action, Play("sound", "se/open.ogg")]
    hovered Play("sound", "se/select.ogg")
    style "menu_choice_button"                        
Obviously you can switch the "se/select.ogg" to whatever sound you want. The "open" would be pressing the button and "select" would be hovering.

I found this very useful. However, I also want to have an effect when I hover over/scroll through choices. I've tried to find it elsewhere, but it seems to be outdated. That or I just can't find where to edit it.

For reference, I found an "outdated" tutorial here: viewtopic.php?t=23938

They gave:

Code: Select all

button:
    action [action, Play("sound", "se/open.ogg")]
    hovered Play("sound", "se/select.ogg")
    style "menu_choice_button"
as the solution, but I can't seem to find where "button" is in the screen.rpy file.

Any help would be appreciated, and let me know if I posted incorrectly as this is my first post (and I'm new to this forum.)
