Character Beepy Voice with irregular pauses [SOLVED]

[TellerFarsight]

So I'm doing this thing to make the characters have beepy voices. There's some more stuff in the callback, which is why there's no elif and such.

Code: Select all

def talking_stick(char, event_name, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event_name == "show_done":
            renpy.sound.play("audio/"+char.name+"bip.wav", loop="True")
        if event_name == "slow_done":
            renpy.sound.stop()

My issue is two things. One, the line will sometimes end in the middle of the beep sound and it will cut out somewhat painfully. Is there a way to make it stop at the end of a beep?
Two, the looping of the beep is too regular, and I want to make it sound more Morse-code-like, with beep dots and beep dashes. Is there a way to put in variable pauses after the sound before it loops, or have beeps overlap?

Like if I can have it randomly choose between two different beep sounds, that would work perfectly. Is this something I can do?

Code: Select all

if event_name == "show_done":
    random:
        renpy.sound.play("audio/"+char.name+"dot.wav", loop="True")
        or
        renpy.sound.play("audio/"+char.name+"dash.wav", loop="True")

Figured it out, if anyone wants to use this. It creates a playlist beforehand that is randomly populated with dots and dashes, and then plays that. The playlist is re-randomized before each use.

Code: Select all

    def beeps(char):
        char.beeps = []
        for x in range(10):
            char.beeps.append(renpy.random.choice(["audio/"+char.name+"dot.wav","audio/"+char.name+"dash.wav"]))
    
    def talking_stick(char, event_name, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event_name == "show_done":
            beeps(char)
            renpy.sound.play(char.beeps, loop="True")
        if event_name == "slow_done":
            renpy.sound.stop()
