Hi chaps,

The code below is supposed to have Julia say a paragraph when you leftclick on her, then load a window only after she's finished speaking.

She speaks, but the "on Julia" is never executed. So I don't understand the practical use of PlaySoundEvent. Anybody got any examples?

Thanks

Code: [Select]

on "Julia"
  {
  Game.Msg("This is the Julia Window call");
  Game.LoadWindow("scenes\07_Pub_Reception\Julia.window");
  Game.Interactive = true;
  }
 
on "LeftClick"
  {
  var a = Scene.GetNode("Julia");
  a.Active = false;
  Game.PlaySoundEvent("scenes\07_Pub_Reception\JuliaHello.ogg", "Julia");
  }

The event is triggered in the object which plays the sound. In your script you're using Game to play the sound, therefore the "julia" event is sent to Game object. I don't know what is this script attached to, but perhaps try using this.PlaySound() instead. Then you'll get the event in the same script.

The script is being run from a scene node.

So I changed

Code: [Select]

  Game.PlaySoundEvent("scenes\07_Pub_Reception\JuliaHello.ogg", "Julia");
to

Code: [Select]

  this.PlaySoundEvent("scenes\07_Pub_Reception\JuliaHello.ogg", "Julia");
No change I'm afraid - the "on Julia" still doesn't run. Does it look as though it should?

[Akusa]

just a question: is the node called Julia?
Because i think maybe WME takes the node, deactivates it, still play the sound but because the node is deactivated, he does not trigger the Event "Julia"
But i never touched this part of WME so im not sure.

Yes, Akusa is right. Is this script attached to the "julia" node?
Other than that, it should work. I just tested it in wme demo and it does work.

My thanks to you both, that did it for the scene - BUT see my new post for use in a Window.

Cheers
