Sound during Transition?

[Alphonse]

Is it possible to have a sound effect be -a part- of a custom transition? Now, I tried putting the sound the trans. before, and after the trans., and it sounds late/random... I'd like to have it DURING the transition (which, if you're curious, I'm using the Flash one in the Cookbook), so is there a way to do that? Maybe there's something I overlooked, I'm not that familiar with Ren'Py.

Thanks!

Strange. Playing the sound just before the transition should work :

Code: Select all

$ renpy.play("somesound.wav")
scene bg market
show marie
with flash

This should start playing the sound and immediately start the transition. If the sound is constantly late (try rolling back and going through the transition again multiple times and see if it always plays with the same delay), it means you should edit the sound and remove possible silence at its beginning.
If the delay is variable, though, it might be a Ren'Py issue which I can't remember wether it was solved or not at some point (I think it was but...)

Oh! That works! Thank you!

Maybe it was because I was using that "play sound" thing...is there a difference, or is it pretty much different in name only?

Regardless, thank you for that!

There shouldn't be any difference between play sound and renpy.sound.play. They're different ways of accomplishing the same thing, with the former preferred.
