Individual GUI button sounds

[drdog]

Hi,

I'm trying to make the "save" button in the text box play a certain sound when clicked. I've done some research but can't figure out how to customize GUI buttons individually.

Help as to how to go about this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

it should look like this Play("sound", "Sound/Saved Game.wav")

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Save") action [QuickSave("Save complete", newest=True), Play("sound", "Sound/Saved Game.wav")]

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I put the code in the gui.rpy and got this error (and yes, I replaced the audio file):


File "game/gui.rpy", line 426: expected statement.
textbutton _("Save") action [QuickSave("Save complete", newest=True), Play("sound", "Sound/Saved Game.wav")]

Did I put it in the wrong spot perhaps? Not sure what to change.

Thanks.

The error says "expected statement", which indicates you've placed it in the wrong spot, yes.

That textbutton would be placed in the screen that uses it, not within gui.rpy--its a button (screen element) ready to use.

You might also take note of the activate_sound and hover_sound parameters to buttons...

Code: Select all

    textbutton _("Save"):
        action QuickSave("Save complete", newest=True)
        activate_sound "audio/clickety_click.ogg"
        hover_sound "audio/dull_whisper.ogg"

Those two are actually style settings, so you could add them to the style that a group of buttons use rather than individually per button

Thanks, got it working. Didn't realize the code I had to replace was in screens.rpy. Much appreciated.
