Trying to make generalized solution for AudioStreamPlayer2D to survive when parent is queue_free()

Here is my attempt

extends AudioStreamPlayer2D
class_name AudioStreamPlayer2DQFree
func play(from_position=0.0):
    var copy = duplicate()
    copy.finished.connect(queue_free)
    get_owner().add_child(copy)
    copy.play()

Problem is "The method "play" overrides a method from native class "AudioStreamPlayer2D". This won't be called by the engine and may not work as expected."

Any way to make this work, workarounds or best practices?

Remove the audio stream using remove_child(audiostream2d)

#

Mrthod

#

Then write

#

get_root().get_tree().add_child(audiostream2d)

Not following you here ... I clarified in my post in case it was confusing I want the sound to play even though the AudioStreamPlayer2D's parent is queue_free()d

Yeah. You will need to reparent it

#

Other wise itwill also

#

Get deleted

#

With parent

That's what the example code I provided is trying to do. But you can't override play() method because that's a rule for some reason I guess. I wanted it to work out of the box like AudioStreamPlayer2D you just put it in your scene and it works without having to call special functions. Which is why I thought overriding play() would be the call.

Get_tree().get_root().add_child()

#

Use thst line

#

Instead of get_parent().sdd_child()

#

It will attach it directly to current level

From what I understand this does the same thing:
get_owner().add_child(copy)

I'll double check that:
get_owner().add_child(copy)
Get_tree().get_root().add_child(copy)
do the same but but that part has been working for a few days.
It's the attempt to override play() so it works out of the box like AudioStreamPlayer2D that is the current problem.

So play()

#

Is preventing it

#

??

Give me a moment to confirm
get_owner().add_child(copy)
Get_tree().get_root().add_child(copy)

lilac latch May 19, 2023, 6:21 AM

#

Notify me if it works

#

Okay so there is a difference between those two. An online resource said get_owner() would work but get_tree().get_root() works better. Thank you for that.

#

extends AudioStreamPlayer2D
class_name AudioStreamPlayer2DQFree
func play_uninterrupted():
    var copy = duplicate()
    copy.finished.connect(queue_free)
    get_tree().get_root().add_child(copy)
    copy.play()

This is the current code that works 95% how I want. The only issue now is I can't override the play method so it works with everything out of the box. But this is workable.

Thank for sharing . glad it works correctly

Saw a lot of mention of this issue online. Sound not playing because queue_free() etc. Figured I'd give it a wack. Thanks for your help.
