[SOLVED] Play the voice's MC based on their gender using Renpy's Automatic Voice function.

I'll check out everything tonight and see what works! Thanks for your help, guys.

Ok peeps,

I tested both and it seems that what Alouette suggested initially works perfectly fine!

Code: Select all

define mc = Character("Main Character", voice_tag="mc_voice")
default gender = "female" # or "male"

init python:
    def genderVoice(id):
        global gender
        voice_tag = _voice.tag
        if voice_tag == "mc_voice":
            return "voice/{}/{}.ogg".format(gender, id)
        return "voice/{}.ogg".format(id)
        
    config.auto_voice = genderVoice

The Callback function doesn't work, the following exception occurs.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

But I'm so glad that you helped me find a solution to this! I'll mark this as resolved, and I hope future programmers find it useful!
