Strange Error

hgvyas123

Below code gives me error sometime

myChannel = bubbleHitSound:play() myChannel:setVolume(0.5)

where bubbleHitSound is less then 1 second sound

here is the error which i am getting in desktop player

ocenaTrainingFinal5.lua:391: attempt to index global 'myChannel' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
ocenaTrainingFinal5.lua:847: in function

also i am playing this in onBeginContact if that is important and at line 847 i have this code self.world:step(1/30, 8, 3)

Thanks

From the docs: Sound:play method

Return value:
SoundChannel: A `SoundChannel` object, which you use to control the sound. This function returns `nil` if you run out of available sound channels.

This is very device depending, and how often you play sounds etc, so you should always check if it is not nil

-Got ninjaed by ar2r, wrong answer anyway-


Regarding Sound. There seems to be a bug on
Sound:getLength() and SoundChannel:getPosition() on Android.
