Raptorkillz Well then you play it the same way you play the music. You already have that in the code you posted in one of your questions.
How would I add a cheat code to a title screen
Konami cheat in a SEGA game? Is this allowed? 
xyz Okay but now when I press a button is pressed it plays the sound but I want it to play the sound when the cheat is successfully entered
- Edited
xyz Can you make it work with a resource similar to this https://github.com/Hugo4IT/CheatCoder
- Edited
Raptorkillz That addon works with keys, not with actions.
I wrote you the complete thing. Just connect the signal and do whatever you want (play sound etc...) in the signal handling function. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you really need to go through the introductory tutorial I mentioned earlier.
konami code is not patented, thankfully..

xyz Now its not playing a sound
class_name CheatCodeListener extends Node
signal code_entered(name)
var s: String
var cheats = {"gm_up gm_up gm_down gm_down gm_up gm_up gm_up gm_up" : "sonic 3 level select"}
func _input(e):
for a in InputMap.get_actions().filter(func(aa): return e.is_action_pressed(aa)).slice(0,1):
s += a if not s else " " + a
for k in cheats.keys(): if s.contains(k): code_entered.emit(cheats[k]); s = ""
code_entered.connect(Play_sound)
func Play_sound():
Global.debug =1
$"../Node2D/AudioStreamPlayer2".play()```- Edited
Raptorkillz Of course it isn't because you're connecting the signal after it's been emitted. You need to do it beforehand. Put the connect call in _ready() or connect it manually in the inspector.
xyz Yea I connected the signal but its not working
class_name CheatCodeListener extends Node
signal code_entered(name)
var s: String
var cheats = {"gm_up gm_up gm_down gm_down gm_up gm_up gm_up gm_up" : "sonic 3 level select"}
func _input(e):
for a in InputMap.get_actions().filter(func(aa): return e.is_action_pressed(aa)).slice(0,1):
s += a if not s else " " + a
for k in cheats.keys(): if s.contains(k): code_entered.emit(cheats[k]); s = ""
func _on_code_entered(name):
match name:
"sonic 3 level select":
Global.debug =1
$"../Node2D/AudioStreamPlayer2".play()- Edited
Raptorkillz Use a simpler cheat code for testing and put a print statement in the signal handler to see it it's getting called. Also make sure you don't have multiple actions mapped to the same input because the script will use only the first mapped action it finds in the InputMap.
Btw you have too much whitespace in your code.
xyz okay the white space I did that because iam on mobile
xyz It still doesn't work
class_name CheatCodeListener extends Node
signal code_entered(name)
var s: String
var cheats = {"gm_left gm_right" : "sonic 3 level select"}
func _input(e):
for a in InputMap.get_actions().filter(func(aa): return e.is_action_pressed(aa)).slice(0,1):
s += a if not s else " " + a
for k in cheats.keys(): if s.contains(k): code_entered.emit(cheats[k]); s = ""
func _on_code_entered(name):
match name:
"sonic 3 level select":
$"../Node2D/AudioStreamPlayer2".play()
$"../title emblem/Label".text = "Cheat Successfully entered"
Global.debug =1why do i get the feeling this blud is deving on ipad or something? gen alpha...
kuligs2 Yes you correct I am working on a game on mobile

Raptorkillz It still doesn't work
Well try to find out why it doesn't work. It's called debugging and it's an essential part of programming.

Raptorkillz func _input(e):
for a in InputMap.get_actions().filter(func(aa): return e.is_action_pressed(aa)).slice(0,1):
s += a if not s else " " + a
for k in cheats.keys(): if s.contains(k): code_entered.emit(cheats[k]); s = ""
is this function even correct?
im not fond of lambdas because its convoluted.
i dont like this line:
s += a if not s else " " + aSeems like if s - the entered cheat sequence is nothing/empty then you start new sequence with " " a space at the beninging. So it will never match the cheat or i maybe wrong here?
also the last line
for k in cheats.keys(): if s.contains(k): code_entered.emit(cheats[k]); s = ""does ; at the end or signal.emit() means if condition fails then do - s = ""??
xyz If you wanted to know I was debugging the outcome by adding a label that said cheat successfully entered when the cheat was successful but the text didn't output anything

Raptorkillz Use a trivial test example.
- use actions you know 100% are defined and map 1:1 to physical input, because you might have messed up something with your action definitions
- use trivial sequence to speed up your testing, because you're testing how the parts of your code are communicating so the actual sequence is not important
- print immediately at the start of the signal handler
- print the sequence as it builds up
- double check your signal connections
- be sure to catch and understand all error messages the engine might be reporting
- If you can't use
print()on your dev platform - use a different platform or set things up in a way so you can see your prints. Developing without printing is not a very wise thing to do. It just makes tracking the flow of your code needlessly more difficult.
