How to loop sound effects? [solved]

So right now, i've succeeded in creating a decent raining effect in my game and it's time to add the sound effect.
The thing is the sound effect for the rain only lasts for a few seconds and i have a whole rain scene.
Code: Select all
play sound "music/sfx/rain.wav" loop
This code only plays for the few seconds and I was wondering if there was any way to loop or make that sound effect continue even after that 3 seconds of sfx ended.
Thank you in advance!

I think you have to define another sound channel that works like a music channel.

Congratulations, you've found a bug.
You can get around it by using python instead.
$renpy.sound.play("music/sfx/rain.wav", loop=True)

LRH is right. You can define an 'ambient' sound channel with sound looping enabled, exactly like the music channel:
Code: Select all
$ renpy.music.register_channel("ambient","sfx",True,tight=True)
Then you can simultaneously use the 'music' channel to play a sad piano tune, the 'ambient' channel to play the rain noise, and the 'sound' channel to play a thunder sound from time to time.
