[yaim904]

Hello, I am creating an interface and would like to customize the selection sound.

I created the custom dropdown style.

Code: Select all

    Styles["zzzYAIM0425_0900_drop_down_channels"] = {
        type = "dropdown_style",
        width = 282 + 32
    }

When the options are displayed, each option has a sound when selected, and I would like to change it.

I have a “sound” to replace the default sound, and I will take care of the sound effect from the code.

Code: Select all

left_click_sound = "__zzzYAIM0425-0900__/sound/empty_audio.ogg",

Could you provide me with the code to do so?

Seeing your response, it's possible that I didn't explain myself correctly.

I want to change the sound when selecting one of the options displayed.


I am already changing the style of the dropdown.


But, I still appreciate your response.

The following is the last code I tried, but it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

    Styles[Prefix .. "drop_down_channels"] = {
        type = "dropdown_style",
        width = 296 + 64,
        button_style =
        {
            type = "button_style",
            left_click_sound = This_MOD.sound .. "empty_audio.ogg",
            parent = "dropdown_button"
        },
        list_box_style = {
            type = "list_box_style",
            left_click_sound = This_MOD.sound .. "empty_audio.ogg",
        }
    }

I am already changing the style of the dropdown.

But you are not changing the opened_sound on the style. If you did, it would display in the Ctrl+F6 menu

Hmm, I think, because the buttons aren't built in the code, the dropdown items are no LuaGuiElements, you aren't able to change the sound.

But wait, the "left_click_sound" IS actually in the style definition...

The button you are changing is the closed Dropdown, you need to change this one https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... item_style
Just confirmed it with "my" dropdown
