After adding images, HS has become more versatile, but what good does it do if the sound library is a bit limited. Here are some of suggestions that would not take up too much storage to make and would expand functionality a lot:
Add two parameters to the start sound block: pitch and volume – this is so you can have one thing be a background or foreground sound, and you can also change the pitch of it.
Simplify the note blocks. With the new pitch parameter, you only need to have a few note blocks (piano A, violin A, etc.) to have different tones that are adjustable by pitch. I know it sounds confusing, but I’m sure there is a way this could work
Add a text to speech block (word filter applies) to speak a text.
Add a when rule that detects when a certain phrase is said (word filter applies here too)
I’ve thought about some of these things but moderating it would be a pain and person would find ways to get around the filters…
I could see it working tho.
I think the first and second ideas should definitely be added, tho.
That is why I suggested text to speech with the same word filter instead of custom sounds (that would be a pain to moderate), and that they should also know some tricky phrases so that something like “pho king” doesn’t speak out.
There has to be some way to make it work
Yes, it would be tricky because of phrases such as “pho king” getting through the filter, but I think THT would be able to pull it off with, possibly a 3rd party voice recognition software.
I think that is a hit or miss kind of thing. It is THT’s choice if they want to add it or not.
Edit: #1 and #2 would just require a tweak to adjust pitch or volume and I could see that being very useful, as it would not require much extra storage (maybe a few megabytes to code it, but no extra sound files).
#3 and #4 are closer to custom (which could be a disaster) but it is controlled, and that would be a tough thing to add, and many people would not like that idea
