i have an sound (1.wav)
and i want to play it every time i press "s"

easy:

s = love.audio.newSource( '1.wav', 'static' )

function love.keypressed(k)
   if k == "s"
      love.audio.stop(s)
      love.audio.play(s)
end

but i dont want the stop and i ask my self is there is a better way then:

Code: Select all

function love.keypressed(k)
   if k == "s"
			local s= love.audio.newSource("1.wav", "static")
			love.audio.play(s)
end

i dont want to load the same data over and over again (feels stupid)

so will working with love.sound.newSoundData fix my problem?

The first way is the right way to do it.

if i want it yes

but i want to have multiple "1.wav"s running
i want if the engine caches it or it will be loaded multiple times and if love.sound.newSoundData is the right solution

This should probably work right:

Code: Select all

function newsource()
    return love.audio.newSource( '1.wav', 'static' )
end

sources = {}

function playsource()
      for i, s in ipairs(sources) do
         if s:isStopped() then
            love.audio.play(s)
            return
         end
       end
       table.insert(sources, newsource())
       love.audio.play(sources[#sources])
end

function love.keypressed(k)
   if k == "s" then
      playsource()
   end 
end

It only creates a new source if there is no stopped source available.

Ensayia and I created TEsound to make things like this painless. It also makes things like playing random sounds, looping music, and volume control easier.

There is also slam.

thanks!

but:

will multiple plays lead to multiple love.audio.newSource => more ram or even worse: more I/O by reading the same file more than once ?

For sounds, you should load them once as sounddata, and then use that sounddata to create a new source when you need to play it.

Slam already does this for you. In fact, this is kind of slam's point
