Adding sound to each main menu button[SOLVED]

[AsHLeX]

So I wanted to add like a sound that plays when you click on "save" and another when you click on "load" and etc. I don't really know where to start. I'm sorry D: Can someone help me here?

A way I handled it is by assigning sounds to the hover state when defining the button.

First, I defined sound channels (so when your mouse runs over one button and then moves quickly to the second button, the resulting sound is overlapped and not stilted)

Code: Select all

init python:
    renpy.music.register_channel("first", "sfx", False)
    renpy.music.register_channel("second", "sfx", False)

Then for text buttons:

Code: Select all

        textbutton _("History") action [SetVariable("yvalue", 1.0), ShowMenu('text_history')] hovered Play ("first", "sound/hover3.mp3")
        textbutton _("Skip") action Skip() hovered Play ("second", "sound/boop.mp3")

The important part is the hovered bit, which you can see both buttons use a different channel (to make the sound effect overlap and not jilt awkwardly) and a different sound effect.

same goes for image buttons:

Code: Select all

imagebutton auto "UI/Extras Char1_%s.png" action Start(label='Char1_Extra') hovered Play ("second", "sound/hover1.mp3") xalign 0.025 yalign 0.3 focus_mask True

since you are talking about main menus, you may be using hotspots on an imagemap instead:

Code: Select all

hotspot (20, 217, 217, 59) action ShowMenu("Char1_Gallery") hovered Play ("first", "sound/hover3.mp3")

change the channels among the buttons and you can alter their individual sound effects.

Got it, thank you so much!

I'm at a cafe so I can't give you specifics, but the easiest would be to go to your project's options.rpy file. In there is code in there that has been commented out that adds a sound to buttons by default. Uncomment that code and make sure the file it plays is the name of your audio file. I believe the default that is listed there is 'click.wave'

No need to do it individually, when you can make it default and the code is already written.

Also, if you haven't looked through the options.rpy file, I recommend looking to see what options are already there.
