[Other Question] how to add SFX to battle HUD? Essentials 18.1

is there any way to add sound effects to the battle HUD as it loads in? like, the "ding"s of the pokeballs sliding into place and the "whoosh" of the line sliding in?

Basically you want the function:
which plays a sound effect (an MP3 / WAV file that is in the Audio/SE folder).

The ball sliding animation is in class:
in particular you'll want to check out the function:
and add the pbSEPlay call in it.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: also, you'll need to find the sound effects yourself. What I do is look for Youtube videos with the sound I want, use a Youtube-to-MP3 converter, and extract what I want with Audacity.

def createBall(idxBall,delay,dir)
# Choose ball's graphic
idxParty = getPartyIndexFromBallIndex(idxBall)
graphicFilename = "Graphics/Pictures/Battle/icon_ball_empty"
if idxParty>=0 && idxParty<@party.length && @party[idxParty]
if !@party[idxParty].able?
graphicFilename = "Graphics/Pictures/Battle/icon_ball_faint"
elsif @party[idxParty].status!=PBStatuses::NONE
graphicFilename = "Graphics/Pictures/Battle/icon_ball_status"
else
graphicFilename = "Graphics/Pictures/Battle/icon_ball"
end
end
# Set up ball sprite
ball = addSprite(@sprites["partyBall_#{@side}_#{idxBall}"])
ball.setVisible(delay,true)
ball.setName(delay,graphicFilename)
ball.setDelta(delay,dir*Graphics.width/2,0)
ball.moveDelta(delay,8,-dir*Graphics.width/2,0)
def pbSEPlay(Mining reveal.ogg,volume=100,pitch=100) <------------------------------ Here is the sound effect
end
end

Sorry for super lateness, I kinda gave up for a bit since no one responded lol. It says syntax error when I boot up the game, why? I'll experiment, may end up solving it on my own. I'm using a mining sound effect for the dings btw

Also, do you know where the line code is? I'd like to put a sound for that too

Ok, I figured out that I needed to remove the Def, and i got it kinda working? But the sound only plays right at the beginning of the animation, instead of playing a ding when each pokeball slides into place. What can I do now?
