[Xerte] Re: Desktop - bypassing a sound based on variable

[Kent Chesnut]

Dave,
That's better than my method.  I had followed the script that had the play() with an interaction with a onSoundComplete event that exited the interaction to implement wait.  It appeared to work but took several icons.

Have a great day,
Kent

But, you gave me an idea.
I've put the Sound icon directly on the flow line and preceded it with a script:
if blah  icon.nextSibling.attributes.play = 1;  icon.nextSibling.attributes.wait = 1; else   icon.nextSibling.attributes.play = 0;  icon.nextSibling.attributes.wait = 0; end

Using the procedure we talked about yesterday.Altering the xml before the object is even created, so it instantiates with those properties.

Dave,

You probably already tried this... but just in case...

Can you set the play property of the sound to 0 and then use SoundID.play() in a subsequent script icon to play the sound if your condition is met?

Have a great day,
Kent

Julian, I know we went down this road once before, and can't remember the outcome.
In AW it was fairly common to use a Decision icon to say, enable/disable the playing of sound in a piece.
You hung the sound off the dec icon, then used a calculated path, 0 or 1.That worked because AW is one based, so the first path was 1.If you set 0, it bypassed the dec icon and continued down the flow line.
So, what can I do with Xerte's 0 based dec icon?-1 does nothing, flow just stops at the dec icon.
As a bit of a kludge, I found setting the repeat property to zero does what I want, but I can't get that property to accept a variable.If I try to use a variable it just repeats endlessly.
Missing something or some other way to skin this cat?
