Randomized and continuous text sounds in RenPy

I wanted to get a way to randomize the text bleep sound so that it chooses from 2-4 audio clips, similar to how it's done in the Paper Mario TTYD remake.
I searched high and low, but was only able to find existing code for character callbacks using a single audio file.
So, here's my method of achieving this result!

hi, sorry but im new to renpy and coding in general, wgat if a wanted to play only a sound for every cps in the game? i don't want different sounds for every characters, i want a general sound for the entire game to play when a first letter is shown and to finish when the last letter of the dialogue is shown, can you help me? great video btw

[@yyokidd46012]

init python: def play_typing_sound(event, interact=True, **kwargs): if event == "show": renpy.sound.play("audio/sound/beep.ogg", channel="typing", loop=True) elif event in ("slow_done", "end"): renpy.sound.stop(channel="typing", fadeout=0.1) define mario = Character("Mario", callback=play_typing_sound) this is my code and i have an audio called beep in game/audio/sound and is .ogg

@@yyokidd46012 Make sure your new channel "typing" is defined somewhere in your init python block: renpy.music.register_channel("typing", mixer=None, loop=True, stop_on_mute=True, tight=False, file_prefix='', file_suffix='', buffer_queue=True) Then it's just a matter of adding "callback=play_typing_sound" to each of your character objects. Example: define lucas = Character("Lucas", callback=play_typing_sound)

Hey, i was wondering if you could make a pastebin on the code you created in this video or a link to the renpy that you created so i get get a basis on how it works, id appreciate it :)

Good idea! I should have done this sooner, but I've just created a GitHub repo: github.com/bamboocalc/continuous-text-sounds

[@Arckanda]

Let's say I'd like the Goombas to have a different voice set than Mario does. How could it be implemented in the code?

[@boredchris]

If you make another function, let's say "def goomba_speak(event, **kwargs)" and then update your character "goomba" to have "callback=goomba_speak" somewhere in its object. For example...... define goomba = Character("Goomba", callback=goomba_speak)

@@boredchris Hi! I did this and slotted this into the character code, but it comes back with a NameError: name 'goomba_speak' is not defined. I'm not sure how to fix this

[@boredchris]

​@@LuckySpark42 In the script.rpy file, make sure that inside the "init python" block, there exists a function called "goomba_speak" and make sure the init python block appears at the top of the script, before you define any of your characters. I wish KZbin allowed screenshots in comments, but here's a pastebin of what the code should look like: pastebin.com/XzEue63d
