Have a sound play a set number of times?

[SquittenKitten]

I have a gunshot sound and I want it to play 5 times. How can I tell Ren'Py to let it play 5 times?

I do not want to make an extra music file where it's played 5 times to safe space.

A very simple way to do it would be

Code: Select all

    play sound "sound/bang.ogg"
    pause 0.5
    play sound "sound/bang.ogg"
    pause 0.5
    play sound "sound/bang.ogg"
    pause 0.5
    play sound "sound/bang.ogg"
    pause 0.5
    play sound "sound/bang.ogg"
    pause 0.5

Isn't there a loops=5 kwarg or something?
I didn't see it in the documentation, but I'm sure there was

No, loops only takes on yes/no values.
So, loops=5 is the equivalent of loops=True

I didn't see it in the documentation, but I'm sure there was

For example, the number of cycles can be set, for transformation ( ATL). Maybe it's settled in your memory.

Anyway:

Code: Select all

label start:
    '...'
    play sound  ['bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3']
    'queue of five shots'
    return

or

Code: Select all

define audio.bang = ['bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3', 'bang.mp3']

label start:
    '...'
    play sound bang
    'queue of five shots'
    
    play sound bang[:3]    #!  the number following the colon should not exceed the number of files in the audio.bang[] list
    'Three shots'

    play sound bang[:2]
    'Two shots'

    play sound bang[:1]  #or#  play sound bang[0]
    'single shot'    
    return
