How do I get a panel.show() with $sound.play()?

Monstanner

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to Godot. I discovered a Godot project a few days ago. I would like to "improve" it a bit.

My problem is that I would like to play a sound after "panel.show()" in this script. But when I add a "$sound.play()" after "panel.show()" nothing happens. No error etc. It looks like this.

Does anyone have a solution for my problem?

PS: I added a "$sound.play()" to this script after "func _on_Button_pressed():" which works.

Sorry, I can't open Imgur here. Please drag and drop the image onto the forum comment box, or copy and paste the code. You can format code by adding 3 tildes (~~~) on a line by themselves directly above and below the code.

Are you sure that code is being called? It seems to depend on the speed variable. What happens if you put a print statement in that same place the sound is being played? Does the print show up?

print("sound should play")

Might be the case that nothing is broken. The sound is playing, but you are calling it so many times and so fast that it is stuck looping the first moment (therefore you hear nothing).

Your reference to the speed variable made me think. So I tried to set "$Open.play()" after "if speed > 0 and not case_stopped:" and now it works. Thank you so much.

Code before (No Sound):

func _on_Timer_timeout():
	if speed > 0 and not case_stopped:
		speed -= 0.5
	elif speed <= 0:
		case_stopped = true
		panel.get_node("TextureRect").texture = texture_rects[index_number].texture
		panel.show()
		$Open.play()

Code after (With Sound):

func _on_Timer_timeout():
	if speed > 0 and not case_stopped:
		$Open.play()
		speed -= 0.5
	elif speed <= 0:
		case_stopped = true
		panel.get_node("TextureRect").texture = texture_rects[index_number].texture
		panel.show()
