Say command will not replay sound after initial fire.

[HotosHideout 1]

I have a function:

shout_sound = {
    player say ["sound", 100, 1];
    sleep 2;
};

called here:

        class interact_button7: RscButton
        {
            idc = 1606;
            text = "SHOUT"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
            x = 0.456847 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.514004 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
            w = 0.0986365 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.0280088 * safezoneH;
            action = "call shout_sound;";
        };

 

It will fire on gui mouse button click but it will not repeat when clicked again. No matter what i do even if i force the player say command in debug it will not fire. Any help would be appreciated.

Why not just put the player say command inside the action? You can't suspend execution of a thread called with "call" anyway. In fact, it may be throwing an error which would break it. Could also change 'call' to 'spawn' and see if it works better.

I plan on adding more code including a titleText to the function. I'll try switching it to spawn and see what happens.

I must have my syntax wrong. I should be able to spawn a function correct?

Absolutely. I will double-check one of my own addons when I get home, I call a bunch of functions from a dialog.

 

action = "[] spawn shout_sound;";

Ok, so either way the result is the same. On first click the sound fires. on any click after it does not.

I created a sample mission you can grab here http://www.azcoder.com/arma3/speaktest.Stratis.zip

I can click many times and it speaks. Sound sample is from Arma 2.
