meshcraft - block names, as a values to a td dict, for block identification +play step sound for the specific block

[LameniRuz]

Hello, Thank you for this great tutorial, its a lot of fun, i have a little suggestion 1) change "t" to a specific block type name for example - ("grass") for example during assignment in the getBlock this.td[(floor(x),floor(y),floor(z))] = blockType to use this names later for a specific block sound, block yield

we can check if there is a block on this position like this

 block = terrain.td.get( (floor(x), floor(y+i), floor(z)) )
         if block and block != "g": #"t" now block type
                 #Do something
                 #for ex, Play sound for this block 
                 play_step_sound(block)

2) example how we can play step sound for the specific block

• main.py

grass_audio = Audio('step.ogg',autoplay=False,loop=False)
snow_audio = Audio('snowStep.mp3',autoplay=False,loop=False)
sounds_for_blocks = { block_names.grass:  grass_audio, block_names.snow: snow_audio}
pitches_min_dict = { block_names.grass:  0.7, block_names.snow: 0.3}

def play_step_sound(block):
    step_sound = sounds_for_blocks.get(block)
    min_pitch = pitches_min_dict.get(block)
    if not step_sound: step_sound = grass_audio 
    if not min_pitch: min_pitch = 0.7
    if step_sound.playing == False:
        step_sound.pitch = random() + min_pitch
        step_sound.play()

i don't know how we can separate sound control from the main function it needs app = Ursina() loaded to work

there is block type name class, used in the previous code

• config.py

class BlockTypeNames:
    def __init__(self):
        self.grass = "grass"
        self.soil = "soil"
        self.stone = "stone"
        self.ice = "ice"
        self.snow= "snow"
block_names = BlockTypeNames()

PS: Sorry for my bad English, And once again thank you for this cool series

Thank you for this, Domenic.

This is very close to what I am planning to do in terms of the values stored in the terrain dictionary.

I like your idea of using a config.py and BlockTypeNames class to 'enum' the types of block -- this will be useful across the project. I think I need to look into how to best store the 'sounds for blocks' etc. Like the idea of using a dictionary here.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. I'll be implementing this in upcoming tutorial videos!

Thank you for the reply, I'm glad it can be useful I will add another issue, about red dot height fix and how to place blocks in different directions O, you have already uploaded another tutorial, i will be watching it next, thanks
