Playing random Sounds

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I tried following an older post about playing random sounds but the sounds from the arrays are not playing. 

I’ve bolded the edits I made. Please help.

local composer = require( “composer” )

local scene = composer.newScene()

local ragdogLib = require “ragdogLib”;

local networksLib = require “networksLib”;

–local adsLib = require “adsLib”;

– All code outside of the listener functions will only be executed ONCE unless “composer.removeScene()” is called.

– local forward references should go here

ads.show( “banner”, { appId= “ca-app-pub-7850831907211777/7996895446”, x=0, y=100000 } )

–let’s localize these values for faster reading

Can you please strip the unnecessary parts and include the code snippet related to your problem? Also, you should use [lua][/lua] tags to make your code readable.

Is there any error you’re getting?

#3

Yes, please use code formatting, either type in:

[lua] ... paste your code here ... [/lua]

or click the blue <> button in the edit bar.

Now the specific problem, trying to use #tablename to get the length of the table only works if the table starts at 1 and has no nil’s in it. You’re second table starts at index 26.

Hi Thanks for the reply. Sorry, still very early in my learning even with the forum. I hope the bottom is what you’re after. Please be patient. I’m more than happy to learn. There are no error codes. Just doesn’t play the sounds from the tables.

The last block of code looks weird. It’s really important to indent your code properly so you can see where functions and their end statements line, as well is if statements and their else, elseif, and end statements.

The code looks like you have two function playhittingRedSFX() and scorePointsSFX(). But there is an audio.play() and an else statement that are not part of anything. So perhaps it’s part of an if statement and you didn’t include all the code?

Regardless I think there may be a misunderstanding of how audio.play works. In fact I don’t think you need the functions at all. What you want is:

if someUnknownCondition then local thishittingRedSFX = math.random(#hittingRedSFX) audio.play(hittingRedSFX[thishittingRedSFX]) else local thisscorePointSFX = math.random(#scorePointSFX) audio.play(scorePointSFX[thisscorePointSFX]) end

Of course I can’t see the if statement I think would be just above line 176 above, so I made something up.

That got it working! 

Thanks again!

Also thanks for the feedback with different things.

The last block of code looks weird. It’s really important to indent your code properly so you can see where functions and their end statements line, as well is if statements and their else, elseif, and end statements.

The code looks like you have two function playhittingRedSFX() and scorePointsSFX(). But there is an audio.play() and an else statement that are not part of anything. So perhaps it’s part of an if statement and you didn’t include all the code?

Regardless I think there may be a misunderstanding of how audio.play works. In fact I don’t think you need the functions at all. What you want is:

if someUnknownCondition then local thishittingRedSFX = math.random(#hittingRedSFX) audio.play(hittingRedSFX[thishittingRedSFX]) else local thisscorePointSFX = math.random(#scorePointSFX) audio.play(scorePointSFX[thisscorePointSFX]) end

Of course I can’t see the if statement I think would be just above line 176 above, so I made something up.

That got it working! 

Thanks again!

Also thanks for the feedback with different things.
