 Sound file won't play when passed as variableI want to play an *.rso sound, and I want my program to dynamically concatenate the sound file name. However, when passing it to the PlaySoundFile() function, it doesn't play a sound -- even when the same PlaySoundFile() will work if I manually include the string value! I've tried to break it down to below code (it's not exactly what I'm using but should illustrate the issue in the minimal form):
(This even happens when I add a dummy "PlaySoundFile("sound/1.rso");" to the beginning of the program to make sure RobotC adds the sound file... what's a better way to do that, by the way?) Can anybody help? Thanks! |

Re: Sound file won't play when passed as variable You need to change the path in the Preferences. Go to Preferences->NXT Directories and modify the NXT System Resources Files Directory.

Re: Sound file won't play when passed as variable Xander, this is what I did at the beginning. And note that the sounds play when I use the parameter "manually" (write a string value). But when passing the parameter as variable, it won't work anymore.

Re: Sound file won't play when passed as variable That is very odd and sounds like a bug to me. Send a mail to support@robotc.net and let them know

Re: Sound file won't play when passed as variable Thanks Xander. In the meantime, I'm switching to Frequencies via PlayTone...
