[Solved] (workaround) How to play a sound on "notify" ?

[Chekhov]

I've been trying to get a sound to play upon when a notify is called.

I've read here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13316

That this is supposed to do exactly that from screen language:

Code: Select all

on "replace" action Play("music", "Gallery.mp3")

And here's how I tried to implement it:

Code: Select all

screen notify(message):
    on "replace" action Play("sound", "sound/good.wav")
    zorder 100
    style_prefix "notify"
 
    frame at notify_appear:
        text "[message!tq]"
        

    timer 5.25 action Hide('notify')

Yes the file is actually there, and the volume is actually on.

Funny... I have been trying to do the same, with similar problems. Finally I cheated a little...

Code: Select all

screen notify(message):
    
    zorder 100
    style_prefix "notify"
    
    frame at notify_appear:
        text "[message!tq]"
        
    timer 0.01 action Play("sound", "sounds/notifybeepchime.mp3") # Nice stupid workaround, isn't it?
    timer 4.25 action Hide('notify')

It may be dirty, but it is like manna from the sky. Thank you, Matalla. I was spending way too much time on this.

also you can use:

Code: Select all

on "show" action Play("music", "Gallery.mp3")

instead of

on 'replace'
