Hello! I'm here to suggest some sound blocks that haven't been added for suggested. Here are some sound blocks I have recommended:

play sound [ v] at () secs :: sound

play sound [ v] for () secs :: sound // Don't be confused!

(length of sound [ v] :: sound )

How Do They Work?

// Play Sound At Certain Point

play sound [ v] at () secs :: sound

This allows you to play a sound at a certain point, depending on how many seconds after the beginning of the sound. Example:

// Playing certain part during an orchestra, incase of any break times, this would be useful:

define play part (part) of Sweet Dreams
play sound [Sweet Dreams v] at ((part) * (10)) secs :: sound

// Play Sound For A Few Seconds:

play sound [ v] for () secs :: sound

This plays a certain sound for a certain amount of seconds.

Example:

say [Let's see what the lyrics of the first sentence of the song is, shall we?]
play sound [My World v] for (10) secs :: sound
say [Okay, the first words were...]
...

// Sound Length

(length of sound [ v] :: sound )

This determines how long a sound will be in seconds. I can't seem to find an example on how this will be used, but just like lengths of strings and such, this may be useful.

Concerning Workarounds
If you recommend a workaround for the “play sound at () secs” block:

define play sound (sound) at (n) secs
set volume to (0)%
play sound (sound)
wait (n) secs
set volume to (100)%

Here are disadvantages:
1. You might need to use the volume for other sounds, and this block might activate while another sound is playing.
2. This can take very long, for you are not just playing the sound at the certain point, you are literally ignoring the sound very long until the certain part reaches. However, the block I suggested plays that part of the sound QUICKLY, without having to wait a few seconds.

You also be complaining that, “you don't need a length of sound reporter, just go to the sounds section, they have the amount of seconds that the sound will play for.” When making a new sound, you have to check for the length, make a variable, and then repeat with another variable whenever you add a new sound.

You might be saying there's a workaround for the “play sound whatever for whatever seconds”:

play sound (sound)
wait (seconds) secs
stop all sounds

The stop all sounds block is the disadvantage. It would be better if there is a block that stops and individual sound, then this workaround would be necessary. But what if you are playing another sound too? There's the problem.
SUPPORTERS

@Charles12310

I support. I'll highlight the main points that make me sway towards this suggestion.

This determines how long a sound will be in seconds.
This would possibly be the most convenient, since, if you had to use variables, you'd have to make a variable for each separate sound,

bump

Simple workaround:

play sound [ v]
wait (2) secs
stop [this script v]

Duplicates (at least some of them) But I don't want to find the link

Support, I would love these.

Duplicate- Play from block

There are more but I'll look another time.

That’s completely different though…

It's the same as the 2nd one

it looks like they’re adding that one anyway…

(Workaroundability intensifies)

No support.

why did you make this topic after posting on the topic that this is a dupe of?

Because I was suggesting more than one block.

This doesn't make sense. I suggested more than one block. That would be like suggesting 10 blocks, and 2 of them has a separate post, and then the topic gets closed because 2 of the blocks already have a topic, while the rest are forgotten.

If you are trying to tell me, “No Support, because there is a workaround,” please read this (sixth suggestion).

Well why suggest that two blocks instead of the last 8? ( in the example )

No support.

play sound [sound v] at (3)::sound//just copying that sound and then deleting the first part is not too hard.

play sound [sound v] at (3)::sound//same. just copying that sound and then deleting the last part is not too hard.

lenght of sound [sound v]::sound reporter//why someone should need this block?

I understand, but 3 things you got wrong:
1. That would be difficult, if somebody didn't want to mess up with their sounds and then have to make lots of copies of it.
2. You misunderstood. That isn't the same block. Also the block is used to prevent having to do all the deleting and removing and then needing to copy that and then you might as well mess up.

play sound [ v] for () secs :: sound

3.

This determines how long a sound will be in seconds. I can't seem to find an example on how this will be used, but just like lengths of strings and such, this may be useful.

Just because I can't find a true purpose for it doesn't mean it can't be added.

It's useful for calculating equal parts of audio and stripping them into equal bits.
