activate sound gets override by hover sound

[Flince]

I've been building a menu in my game and have a "Next" button to turn the pages and I set the button an activate sound and a hover sound. However when I click the button the activate sound play only for a fraction and the hover sound play instead.

I figure that maybe the activate and hover sound are played on the same channel so when I click the first button it play the activate sound, the button of the second page replace the first button and the hover sound of the second button override the activate sound. Is there anyway around this? I'm using Renpy 6.11 but I didn't use the screen language (still messing around with it to see how it works). Thanks in advance

I'll be looking into this.

I was unable to repeat the problem, using the code:

Code: Select all

screen test:
    textbutton "Test":
        action ui.returns(None)
        hover_sound "blah.ogg"
        activate_sound "punch.wav"

label start:
    call screen test

Here's a quick main menu i scrambled to help illustrate the problem. Hope this is of some use

The left 'Extra' button have the problem while the right one doesn't.

Well, in general everything is works fine... but
When you klick left "Extra" button, game jumps to another label and "Return" button appears. So, at that moment, mouse pointer is over this new button, and hover sound for that button sounds. Just move "Return" button to another position.
(Note: it was hard to use menu without background, if it was at least "scene black"...)

Thanks for the advice! Though i would like to avoid that if it's possible because it would be awfully inconvenient to move every button that is on the same position >_>

Hmm... try to add 0.5 sec pause before "Return" button appear - it should be enough to hear activate sound.

[Flince]

Adding pause before certainly allow the sound to finish. The transition is choppy but I have an idea about that. Don't know why the idea of adding time gap for the sound didn't cross my mind though, it seems really simple - -. Anyway thanks for your help, now my menu works as I want. So um should I put [solved] at the topic title?
