When implementing text bleeps by using character callbacks, is there a way to use voice instead of sound or music?

Text bleeps are a great feature, but they're a huge pain when it comes to the volume mixer. I would love for them to be able to use the voice channel so that their volume can be adjusted seperately from the music and sounds, but I can't figure out how to set them to do that. I'm using the code displayed here:
https://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/char ... backs.html

Code: Select all

init python:
    def beepy_voice(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return

        if event == "show_done":
            renpy.sound.play("beeps.ogg")
        elif event == "slow_done":
            renpy.sound.stop()

define pike = Character("Christopher Pike", callback=beepy_voice)

Specify the channel in the function.
renpy.sound.play("blablabla.wav", channel = "voice")

[Njjeppson]

Specify the channel in the function.
renpy.sound.play("blablabla.wav", channel = "voice")

Just tried it. No errors show up, which is a good sign, but now the text bleeps aren't playing anymore. It's just silent. Is there anything else I should change to fix this?

so, try
renpy.voice("balbalbla.wav")

[Njjeppson]

so, try
renpy.voice("balbalbla.wav")

When I try that I'm given an error:
"AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'voice'"

I'm unable to test this out right now, but you could try creating a new channel.

Code: Select all

init python: 
    # add this line before beepy_voice function
    renpy.music.register_channel(name='beeps', mixer='voice')

And in the function use

Code: Select all

renpy.sound.play("beeps.ogg", channel='beeps')

It works! The only problem is that now the beeping doesn't stop when the text is finished typing. It just keeps going.

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it by changing the "renpy.sound.stop()" code to say "renpy.sound.stop(channel='beeps')". Thanks!
