Hi what are the steps to alter this code with the new OS7 EFFECT_LOOP_SOUND to get a looped sound with the syle code, also where does the wav file go on sd card?
I know very little about coding, any help appreciated

I don’t think that’s a thing.
What are you trying to do?

3

Sorry NoSloppy its one of the new Transition sounds where it loops a sound with the style code

EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP :link:

(OS 7.0+) Toggles an optonal sound effect loop ON/OFF from within a style via TrDoEffect.

5

Yeah, I didn’t find it as you’d typed LOOP_SOUND, not SOUND_LOOP.

Seems like you’d use it in a blade style to toggle the playback of a sound named trloop.wav on and off each time you do it.
So as part of a transition layer, you’d include something like:
TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP>

Great! thanks for that NoSloppy :grin:

EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP also needs support from the prop to actually do something, the Fett263 is the only prop that does something with this effect right now.

Thanks profezzorn, installed the latest OS7 version

What is it you’re trying to accomplish?

EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP probably won’t work very well with the above style as you’d be turning it on and off with each pass. EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP is intended for a “state” change that you want to have run on a loop for a period of time until you toggle that “state” off, it’s used like a user-defined Lockup state in coordination with a control and visual effect.

If you just have a sound you want to play within that transition you’d use EFFECT_TRANSITION_SOUND.

If you can explain what you’re looking to do it will be easier to direct you.

Both require my prop to run.

Hi Fett! the code is from your thunder and lightning style, i was trying to loop a sound like you did in one of your videos.
It sortof worked but when you switch off the saber the sound loop continues.
Wow thanks for the help, you are a legend😁

11

Yeah, you’re not using EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP correctly then and you actually want EFFECT_TRANSITION_SOUND anyway :wink:

At the point in the transition where you want the sound to play just wrap TrDoEffect around it like so:

TrDoEffect<CURRENT_TRANSITION,EFFECT_TRANSITION_SOUND>

Then add tr.wav to your font.

The TransitionLoop<> will loop the effect and replay the sound at that exact point in the transition on each pass.
