Looping Sound

[cracklings]

Hi there,

Is there any way to loop sound while there is music playing in the background? My sound file is a three second audio and it is intended to loop as an annoying sound until the MC notices and remarks upon it. I know music loops but sound doesn't. I know I could use the persistent sound as music instead, but I don't want to as much as possible.

Code I use is the standard one

Code: Select all

play sound audiotrack.ogg

I have thought about splicing the sound file to create one big file, but 1. It might end up being too big or 2. Depending on how fast or slow the player will be, it can affect gameplay.

If there is a solution, please let me know.

You could try this:

Code: Select all

    MC "This would work, wouldn't it?"
    play sound audiotrack.ogg
    queue sound audiotrack.ogg
    queue sound audiotrack.ogg
    queue sound audiotrack.ogg
    queue sound audiotrack.ogg
    queue sound audiotrack.ogg
    # Keep on queueing it to a large amount to make up for different reading speeds.
    MC "Hey, what's with that annoying sound?"
    stop sound
    MC "Oh, it stopped."

However, that would be troublesome. The best way is to use it as music. If you don't want to do that because you think you won't be able to play your background music while playing the sound, you could just place it on a different channel.

Hope I helped.

Hmm, I never thought of putting it in different channels. I'll check up on that. My original goal is to have it playing alongside the music.

I'll try the other solution a try too.

Thanks!

The right way to do this is to add another channel.

Code: Select all

init python:
    renpy.music.register_channel("annoying", "sfx", loop=True, tight=True)

then

Code: Select all

play annoying "annoyance.ogg"
