starting audio streamplayer3d at random position

DJM

how to start a looping sample at a random start position and continue playiing from there on? im trying to avoid overlapping sounds

I think you can pass a position in the audio in the play function in the AudioPlayer3D. I think the following code should work (untested though):

$AudioStreamPlayer3D.play(randf() * $AudioStreamPlayer.stream.get_length())

Edit: For looping, you can either set the audio stream to loop by setting looping in the audio file importer, or you can use the finished signal of the AudioStreamPlayer3D to tell if the audio player is done playing and call play() when the signal is received.

tnx this worked

extends AudioStreamPlayer3D
@export var torchsound : AudioStreamSample

func _ready():
	self.stream = torchsound
	self.play(randf() * self.torchsound.get_length())
