Lightning with Sound

[PixelVirus89]

Hi there!

I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to get this working so I thought I'd ask around for some ideas!

I'm trying to make a lighting effect that has sound. I thought it would be easy, but alas I can not figure it out! Here is the code I'm working with:

Code: Select all

image storm:
    "Backgrounds/whiteBG.jpg"
    renpy.sound.play('sounds/thunder.ogg')
    choice:
        alpha 0.8
        pause 0.05
        linear 0.2 alpha 0
        pause 17
    choice:
        alpha 0.8
        pause 0.05
        linear 0.2 alpha 0
        pause 15
    choice:
        alpha 0.8
        pause 0.05
        linear 0.2 alpha 0
        pause 13
    choice:
        alpha 0.8
        pause 0.05
        linear 0.2 alpha 0
        pause 10
    repeat

Then a simple "show storm" in the text. This however has a weird effect and the sound starts a few lines early and keeps playing over itself rapidly... The lighting effect seems to work though...

If someone could give me a point in the right direction I'd be most grateful!

You can't place sound inside an ATL block like that. Separate them and just use two commands to play the sound and show the ATL at the same time.


Alternatively, create a screen that includes your ATL and a command to play the sound on show (and stop it on hide)

show the screen when needed, and hide it when not needed.
Do not use call screen function, and make sure the screen is modal False

Thank you for your reply, I was hoping I could make the lighting random with the sound playing when it flashes. I think I may just keep it a set time if I can not do that.

Many thanks Imperf3kt!

That should still be easy enough.

I'll see what I can create tonight after work. If you can supply the sound file, it would be a bit easier to tune it for your use.
