How do you make audio play in a dialog box system

yingpie

Hello, I'm currently creating an rpg and I've ran into an issue creating a dialog box system. Here's a few screenshots of the code and what I'm trying to do.

What I'm basically trying to do is have a sound affect play as the characters are typed out in the dialog box, but I'm having a hard time getting this sound to play, if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.

Have your tried loading the .mp3 into an AudioStreamPlayer's Stream property in the Inspector? Then you would simply use the AudioStreamPlayer's play() method to play the sound.

Example:

I've tried that, but I got these error messages that said the AudioStreamPlayer2d node wasn't found.

DaveTheCoder

The default name for the node is AudioStreamPlayer2D, not AudioStreamPlayer2d.

The same error appeared when I corrected the AudioStreamPlayers name.

DaveTheCoder

There's a second mistake. That script is attached to the node Text. AudioStreamPlayer2D is a sibling of Text, not a child.

One way of dealing with that is to use:
$"../AudioStreamPlayer2D".play().

Another solution would be to move AudioStreamPlayer2D so that it's a child of Text.
