[SOLVED] How to add a sound effect on screen load

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I want to add a sound effect when a screen appears. This screen is a popup/ notification kind of thing, so I want a sound to play with it.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I tried this:

Code: Select all

    on "show" action Play(audio, "sounds/notification.wav", selected=False)

However, it doesn't work and comes up with an error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/forum_ff.rpy", line 61, in script
    pause
  File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 416, in execute_pause
    renpy.pause()
  File "renpy/common/00action_audio.rpy", line 64, in __call__
    renpy.music.play(self.file, channel=self.channel, **self.kwargs)
TypeError: argument of type 'StoreModule' is not iterable

Any ideas how to do this?

on "show" action Play("audio", "sounds/notification.wav", selected=False)

Channel is string id, you send audio module instead.

Ah, thank you It works now.
