Wait in Windows problem with play audioClip and revSpeak

Post by eulexic » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:32 am

This is my first time posting. But with this one, I don't know where to start. When I make a standalone in Windows the Wait Command is not working right. I have scripts that use run revSpeak and play audioClip. The audioClips seem to play simultaneously at the beginning of the sequence and not "waiting" until their proper time in the script.
So instead of hearing something like:
1. revSpeak "blah, blah, blah"
wait unit revIsSpeaking() is false.
2. play audioClip "LaLaLa.aiff"

I hear "LaLaLa" and "blah, blah, blah" at the same time.

Welcome to this forum,
I can't test (I work on a Mac) but I wonder what happends if you use a short send in time.
Something like that :

Code: Select all

...
revSpeak "blah, blah, blah" 
wait until revIsSpeaking() is false.
send "playMyAudio" to me in 10 milliseconds

on playMyAudio
   play audioClip "LaLaLa.aiff"
end playMyAudio
Best regards

Thank you so much for your reply to my post!
The "send ... to me in ... milliseconds" makes the script stall / freeze.
