Playing sound upon screen show

[computistxyz]

Is there a way to make a sound effect play upon a screen being shown? For instance, an alert sound for an OK/YesNo dialogue box? I'm aware I could separately play the sound whenever that screen is called, but I was hoping there's some way of hardcoding it into the screen itself as otherwise that would require me to go back through my entire game script and menus and add in that play sound command at every single instance...

I tried adding a basic $renpy.sound.play statement in the screen for the hell of it but of course, as expected, resulted in horrendous audio glitches due to the repeating nature of screen code.

Here's the code I used to play a random song from a playlist when a screen is shown if the music is not already playing. It goes at the very end of the screen code. Could you use something like this?

Code: Select all

on "show" action If(renpy.music.is_playing(), true=None, false=pop_songs.RandomPlay())
