Play multiple sounds using a single sound block

The sound block has a limitation where you can't specify which sound to play using a sensor or timer block. Because of that you need to create one sound block per sound and it's quite annoying.

This little script will help you to play any sound on a single sound block. This mod does not allow to loop sounds, it's only for single sound play.

You need a sound and a programmable block for this to work.


There is only one variable :
string soundBLockName = "";

You can write the name of your sound block, if left empty it will take the first one it finds.



First thing first, you need to find the sound name you want to play. To do this run the program with the argument "sound_list" (without quotes, see screenshots) and you will find the list of sounds in the right part of the screen but also in the Custom Data widow (press Custom Data when on the programmable block and you will be able to copy paste the sound name you want to play)

For the main usage, playing a sound, just pass the sound name as argument the program. (the technical name of the sound found in Custom Data)
You can use a button, timer or sensor block to trigger a sound.



Here is the name list of default sounds :
SoundBlockLightsOn
SoundBlockLightsOff
SoundBlockEnemyDetected
SoundBlockObjectiveComplete
SoundBlockAlert1
SoundBlockAlert2
SoundBlockAlert3
MusHeavyFight_08
MusSpace_08
DroneLoopSmall
DroneLoopMedium
DroneLoopLarge
DroneLoopHuge
