Something wrong with voice.playing

[+atari2600land]

I started working on an entry and ran into a problem with the voice.playing variable.

 

    buttonheld=2

 

titleloop:

    wait
    if cont.button and buttonheld=2 then buttonheld=1
    if cont.button=0 and buttonheld=1 then buttonheld=3

    if buttonheld=3 then VOICE PLAY phrase : buttonheld=4 : goto main_setup
    goto titleloop

 

main_setup:
    if voice.playing then buttonheld=4 else buttonheld=5
    if buttonheld=4 then goto titleloop

   ...set up the rest of the game...

 

It will say the phrase once and NOT go set up the rest of the game like I want it to. Is there a problem with my code? I'm going crazy.

It is because when buttonheld goes to 4, then it enters into "titleloop" and in that section of code nothing checks for buttonheld equal to 4.

 

Maybe you want to change one line to this:

if buttonheld=4 then goto main_setup
