[SOLVED] Problem with audio and screens.

[gas]

Music play in the background from a previous label.

Problem: set the background music from the prefs screen. So you can select a jazzy, rock or fusion theme while you play.

My solution:
Right click - enter setup screen.
Press an arrow button - set an index variable (with a function that cycle values) and play a track accordingly to a list on music channel - so far work fine. A nice jukebox.
Right click to exit the screen - the old first music play again (and I dunno why as it refer to a previous label now expired, no other "play" statement where I return to).

How to have that new music keep playing even if I exit the prefs screen?
I've tried queue reset but baf, does nothing.

It's difficult. Ren'Py considers the menus to be a different context than the rest of the game, so changes to music from inside the menus will be erased.

What you can do is to have an interact callback that sets the music if not already playing. Something like:

Code: Select all

default persistent.music = "jazzy.opus"

init python:
    def music_callback():
        renpy.music.play(persistent.music, if_changed=True)

    config.interact_callbacks.append(music_callback)

Then in the screen, you can use SetField(persistent, "music", "rock.opus") or whatever.

I was suspecting the context was guilty .

Thank you for the reply!
