Can't seem to get sound effect to play

bkumanchik

I have a simple game demo with a player that can move around and pick up coins, scoring 10 points and displaying it on the screen. I'm trying to play a "coin collect" sound (.wav file) when the coin is collected. I've watched several tutorials and believe I have it set up right but it's not working. I'll attach the file, any help would be appreciated.

See: Area2D_player.gd for code I'm using to try and play sound file

Thanks Brian

	$AudioStreamPlayer.play()
	queue_free()

The queue_free() deletes the node, including the AudioStreamPlayer, before the sound has time to play.

Connect the AudioStreamPlayer's "finished" signal to a handler function, and move the queue_free() there:

func _on_AudioStreamPlayer_finished() -> void:
	queue_free()

I learned this the hard way. :smile:

Thanks, I'll try this ASAP

Worked great but the lag seemed weird, so I make them invisible first then remove them after the audio finishes playing and it works perfect now, Thanks again!
