Sound effect while typing?

[bloobeary]

This is the code that I'm using for player character entry:

Code: Select all

    python:
        name = renpy.input(_("Type in your first name:"))

        name = name.strip() or __("Player")

I don't remember where I got it from, but after looking at: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#input
...and seeing that their example is:

Code: Select all

screen input_screen():
    window:
        has vbox

        text "Enter your name."
        input default "Joseph P. Blow, ESQ."

I'm now wondering if I'm using the wrong type of code to allow for the use of "changed" ...?

Oookay, here's the latest update on my efforts to make this work...

I was advised by someone over on reddit to do this:

In the screens.rpy, In the input screen section, the line

Code: Select all

input id "input"

was altered to:

Code: Select all

input id "input" changed Typing

and then, in the script.rpy, I created this bit of python before the label start:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def Typing(what):
        renpy.music.play(renpy.random.choice(['sounds/typing1.wav','sounds/typing2.wav','sounds/typing3.wav']), channel="audio")

That got the typing sounds working, but... the Enter key no longer worked.

After consulting the rest of the code in this current forum thread, I cobbled together this:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def Typing(what):
        if renpy.display.interface.last_event.__dict__.get("key", None) == 8:
            renpy.jump("nametyped")
        else:
            renpy.music.play(renpy.random.choice(['sounds/typing1.wav','sounds/typing2.wav','sounds/typing3.wav']), channel="audio")

This.. ALMOST works.

Two important points:
8 is the integer for the backspace key. I put it there for testing purposes because I don't know the one for the return key.

after the renpy.jump advances to the nametyped label, the project crashes at the first line of character dialog it encounters.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

So close, and yet so far.

I have found a solution, and it is detailed here:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=63344

...because i didn't create this thread so I can't mark it solved.

Hey @bloobeary, sorry I didn't see this. If you still want, I can send you an example of something I have in one of my project that works for me. Let me know!

[namastaii]

I'll just put my process here in case you're interested and want a variety of solutions. I tend to make my text input buttons.

This isn't a simplified example - just pasted directly from my project

Variable:

Code: Select all

default firstname = ""

Python block:
(this uses a sound effect for writing and erasing)

Code: Select all

def name_func(newstring):
        store.firstname = newstring
        if renpy.display.interface.last_event.__dict__.get("key",None) == 8:
            renpy.music.play(renpy.random.choice(['sounds/erase1.ogg','sounds/erase2.ogg','sounds/erase3.ogg']), channel="audio")
        else:
            renpy.sound.play(renpy.random.choice(['sounds/writing2.ogg','sounds/writing3.ogg','sounds/writing4.ogg']), channel="audio")

In my screen:

Code: Select all

input default firstname pos(130,300) changed name_func length 10 font "fonts/Kristi.ttf" color "#696969" size 60 style "newstudent_button"
