Audio changing via script

[slurpchunk7]

When I open it, it won’t change the audio.

Excuse me if I am completely wrong here, I have never loaded streams like this, but should you not be loading possibleSongs[nextSong] ?

Again, if I am totally off the mark here, apologies in advance.

It might help you to use static typing, and paste your scripts instead of using a screenshot.

There’s a lot of little things going wrong, the largest being using load on a float.

#    should be randi_range v       v should start at 0
var nextSong := random.randf_range(1, possibleSongs.size())

# nextSong is float, not a path, load should fail and give an error
self.stream = load(nextSong)

Since there is little reason to keep the nextSong variable you could use pick_random() on your array to load a random path.

self.stream = load(possibleSongs.pick_random())

Alternatively, you might be better off using an AudioStreamRandomizer as your “stream”. Then you can pop in your audio files and let it handle the randomization for you.

Edit: but the posters above, pauldrewett and gertkeno, are correct about the issues they found

I actually fixed it by putting this code:

possiblesSongs.shuffle
self.stream = load(possibleSongs[1])

[gertkeno]

Make sure you are calling shuffle (or use pick_random()) or else it won’t be random and instead play the second song every time.

possiblesSongs.shuffle() # needed parenthesis
self.stream = load(possibleSongs[0]) # the first song is 0
