I have a variable that I export which is expected to be an OGG stream.
[Export] public AudioStreamOggVorbis PickupSound { get; set; }
Inside my _Ready() function I do the following:
if (PickupSound is not null)
{
_audioPlayer = new AudioStreamPlayer();
AddChild(_audioPlayer);
_audioPlayer.SetStream(PickupSound);
}
Then, later on, when the player interacts with this object, I want to play the sound, like this:
if (PickupSound is not null)
{
_audioPlayer.Play();
}
HOWEVER, no matter what I do, no sound will ever be played like this, and I get no exceptions or warnings at all. Is there a reason why?
So far I tried _audioPlayer.Stream = PickupSound as well but it gave me the same results, I also tried to set the stream BEFORE adding the _audioPlayer as a child, but still nothing.
Are you assigning the PickupSound in the inspector? Does the code enter the ifs? Does the AudioStreamPlayer get added to the scene tree? (you can check that in the Remote tab in the Scene dock while the game is running)
I do assign it, and I stepped through the code to make sure nothing is null and everything gets executed. That’s why I’m confused, as no exception or warning is thrown and everything SHOULD work.
I don’t have C# setup but this gdscript code works just fine:
extends Node
@export var stream:AudioStreamOggVorbis
var player: AudioStreamPlayer
func _ready() -> void:
if not stream == null:
player = AudioStreamPlayer.new()
add_child(player)
player.stream = stream
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(&"ui_accept"):
if not stream == null:
player.play()
All other audio works just fine, and if I instead create the audio node in my scene, add the stream to it and reference it in code to call the Play() function on it it works fine. It always works if I already have the node in my PackedScene when the game runs, but it never works when I create the AudioStreamPlayer node during runtime.
why do you want to generate an audiostream player through code?
you can just add an audiostream player in the scene
and in the code you can change the stream manually
this is how it works in GDScript(maybe it can give you an idea of how it works)
extends AudioStreamPlayer
const start_music = preload("res://assets/music/start.mp3")
const boss_music = preload("res://assets/music/bossfight.mp3")
const first_steps= preload("res://assets/music/first steps.mp3")
var song = 1
@onready var player: AudiostreamPlayer = $AudioStreamPlayer
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
pass # Replace with function body.
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
pass
func play_music(music : AudioStream, volume = 0):
if player.stream == music:
return
player.stream = music
player.volume_db = volume
player.play()
func play_music_level():
if song == 1:
play_music(start_music)
player.volume_db = 0
if song == 2:
play_music(boss_music)
player.volume_db = 0
if song == 3:
play_music(first_steps)
player.volume_db = -14
func change_music():
if song == 1:
song = 2
if song == 2:
song = 1
Because there are some parts in my game where entire scenes are generated using code, and this should be perfectly normal behaviour that godot handles.
I’ll try to create a MRP as I feel like it’s a bug.
As you can see in my original post, it’s an AudioStreamOggVorbis, which means it requires no preloading, as it’s the stream that I directly assign inside the inspector for that specific node.
do you get an error or warn while playing, it can help me alot that way i can fix your problem, im not a C# user but i was a java user(is similar to C#) and i learned a bit of C# a time ago sooo, it will be possible to fix
As mentioned before, I get no error messages or any exceptions which is what bothers me, otherwise I would know what’s wrong.
Calling the function works, I stepped through the code line by line and everything was correctly created, nothing was missing, yet no audio is being played.
Thank you for the help so far, I’ll likely try and re-create this in an empty project to track down the cause.
don’t do it pls, i have an idea, sorry because of frustrating you, but can i get your project to understand it better? send me the game folder and i will search the issue
using Godot;
public partial class TestAudioStreamPlayerExport : Node
{
[Export]
public AudioStreamOggVorbis stream;
private AudioStreamPlayer player;
public override void _Ready()
{
}
public override void _Process(double delta)
{
if (stream is not null)
{
if (Input.IsActionJustPressed("ui_up") && player is null)
{
if (player is null)
{
player = new AudioStreamPlayer();
AddChild(player);
player.Stream = stream;
}
player?.Play();
}
}
}
}
