Hey guys, Is there any way to use the magic mouth to play a sound WITHOUT a text bubble coming up? I'm trying to use it to play a custom "Death" sound I've recorded, but the Text Bubble/Press O is rather disruptive to my level. Thoughts?

Why dont you just place a regular sound object? you dont need the magic mouth.

Can you record sounds on a regularsound object? I was under the impression that you needed the magic mouth to record, but I might be about to feel REALLY stupid in about 5 minutes.

This is EXACTLY what I I'd love to know as well. I've searched here and through Google parameters and no luck. If you turn off text and do your own recording, you get a blank speech bubble accompanying your pre-recorded voice/sound. Speech Bubble without text = ugly visual obstruction.

Tron, I've got an idea, but haven't tested it yet. I'll let you know how it goes but you should try it too. It's based on using the Magic Mouth on a sequencer. I know that's how people display Subtitles from MM's without displaying the text bubble. So...HYPOTHETICALLY, if you create a Magic Mouth with a recorded sound, blank text, and check "display subtitles" and throw it on a sequencer, then MAYBE, just maybe, we can get recorded sound without the bubble. I'm not sure why they didn't just make a recordable sound object, but whatever.

Alright, my attempt at a fix worked perfectly and we have a workaround. To play a recorded sound via the Magic Mouth WITHOUT the pesky word bubbles, place that magic mouth on a SEQUENCER. After you record the sound, the sequencer will adjust the length of the magic mouth to match the clip. Leave the text box blank but change DISPLAY SUBTITLES to YES. When you do this, the sound will play without any bubbles. In truth, the game is displaying the text as a subtitle, but since the text is blank...there's nothing there. Effect achieved. For those of you that have been trying to use SUBTITLES, you'll note that this is the same way that works. When you place a Magic Mouth on a sequencer and select "Display Subtitles," the text appears at the bottom of the screen without the bubble. This is how some levels (Like the Top-Down RPG Omicron) display uniform text at the bottom of the screen without any type of bubble.

I have done this. There should be an opinion to do this when you have ''Movie Camera'' thing set on from speech bubble's options. Then there should be an opinion to set speech bubbles off.
