Play random sound from directory
« on: May 11, 2016, 07:07:25 AM »
playing a sound directly using {TXT:directoryname} in the filename works great but doing the same to play any file from a directory doesn't work.

You see, TheThingIs, eventually you'll be allright.

Hi, there.  I'm able to play random sounds from directory using tokens.  As a sanity check, I looked at the code first and found that it does process and use tokens.  Any error or warning messages, however, just shows the token and not the rendered token (corrected that while I was in there).

Code: [Select]
Set Text [directory] to 'D:\Data\Music\Gary Numan\'  <---- works with or without backslash at the end
Play random sound (from directory: {TXT:directory} - suppress repeats)

I can only assume the problem is data-related, unless there is something else that's broken (been known to happen).

Yes, that's what was throwing me off! Atleast you've fixed it :)

Thanks Mr Numan :p
