I’m trying to add a sound to my game that’s located in the “audio” folder but I’m failing…
[lua]coinSound = audio.loadSound(“game_collectcoin.mp3”, “audio/”)[/lua]
How is it supposed to be done? [import]uid: 103624 topic_id: 18179 reply_id: 318179[/import]
Just as a heads up, whenever you see base directory in the API’s, it’s not asking for an actual directory name. It’s a reference to to different ROOT areas to begin searching. Here they all are:
system.ResourceDirectory (refers to your project folder)
system.DocumentsDirectory
system.TemporaryDirectory
stystem.CachesDirectory (new)
Based on your code, I’m assuming your audio asset is in a sub-directory called “audio” in your project folder, so you’d instead use:
local coinSound = audio.loadSound("audio/game_collectcoin.mp3", system.ResourceDirectory )[/code]But since system.ResourceDirectory is the default for that function, you'd only need the first argument.Hope that helps! [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18179 reply_id: 69493[/import]
I did what you said, but I failed somewhere else.

Nevermind! I got rid of the errors after checking the API references. Man, those things help! [import]uid: 103624 topic_id: 18179 reply_id: 69505[/import]
