      Wax has been experimenting using midi events triggered by relight in Thea render. He is doing some really fun stuff, that may be of interest. http://www.thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35463#p35463

      Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

            I'm using su 8!

              As well as TBD's suave.rb there are the simple API methods
              UI.beep for a simple system-beep
              UI.sound(path_to_sound_file) for a .wav file osa...
              To attach it to an object requires more code...
              Didier Bur's script to use UI.openURL(url) when you click an object [can't recall its name off-hand] could be easily modified to play a sound with the code above...

              As I cant get the suawe to work I'm trying the above method, but I cant find that peice of code from Didier Bur to attach it to an object.
              cheers!

                Try this http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=799
                It's for URLs BUT could be adapted to play sounds...

                    Sorry! I mis-linked http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=229 is links.rb what you want the other is a links manager and is encrypted too!
                    Download and read the file in Notepad...
                    You will see that it links files/urls to objects - you need to link sound files to objects...
                    It also uses UI.openURL(filepath) you'd substitute that with UI.play_sound(soundpath)...

                      Thanks BooFredlay!
                      This would also work actually. but myexperience in Ruby isnt that good.
                      I've managed to make custom button image and custom sound, but i wonder how to ad more buttons in that tool bar?(see code below)
                      Is there a way to make the buttons longer?

                      plugins = Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
                      sfile = File.join(plugins, "ljudstudie", "r1.wav")
                      icon = File.join(plugins, "ljudstudie", "r1.png")
                      tb = UI::Toolbar.new("Ljudstudie")
                      cmd = UI::Command.new("Doh") { UI.play_sound(sfile) }
                      cmd.small_icon = icon
                      cmd.large_icon = icon
                      cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "R1"
                      tb.add_item(cmd)
                      tb.show

                        I had a look at the code, did u mean copy bits of the code.
                        is that possible to make an object act as a button which trigger a sound stored on the harddrive somewhere?

                          The original code makes objects open 'attached' URLs.
                          If you substitute a 'sound-file-path' for the url/file-path and adjust other commands it should play the sound...
                          Obviously it's somewhat more complex than that, BUT you could copy the links.rb and rename it and its def methods, substituting suitable stuff for sound file [.wav] in place of url/file-path and UI.play_sound() in place of UI.openURL().........
                          You can't make a button - the url-link works off the context-menu BUT perhaps DCs have something ???

                                Just curious, anyone had suawe working?
                                I managed to get the script installed and the demoscene loads fine, but I cant hear any sound!

                                I'm running SU 8!
