Hello everyone
I have a troublesome question that I would like to ask everyone about.
I want to make a button
Each click will make a random different sound (such as the sounds of various animals)
I don't know how to make a button like this
I have seen how to use random numbers on YouTube
But I don’t know how to make a button with random sounds in the simplest way
Ask everyone for advice
grateful

There are two ways to do this, and which is better depends on the context and how many sound there are.
Method 1: When the button is pressed, have a random number generated, from 1-X where X is the total number of sounds. Then for each sound, have a rule that says "When random number is 1, play sound 1," "when random numebr is 2, play sound 2" etc. If there are only a handful of sounds, this is the clearest and safest way.
Method 2: Use the recent update to Tweetsheet to play a sound from an expression. Essentially you'd just name your sounds something like "Sound-1" through "Sound-100" and then you can call a specific sound using an expression. It's waaaay more flexible, but a little more complicated and you can't preview it, it only works in published projects. It's outlined in this thread:

If you have fewer than 20 sounds, you're probably safest going with method 1. If you want more flexibility, method 2 works great.

I think method 1 may be more suitable for my level. I will give it a try.
