Yes it is possible. To do that you would need to implement the following changes
Add the following lines at the end of the preMain function

PHP Code:


var fp13 = new FunctionParameter("alertType", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp13.setName("Type of alert");
    fp13.addOption("Sound");
    fp13.addOption("Popup");
    fp13.addOption("Both");
    fp13.addOption("None");
    fp13.setDefault("Both"); //Edit this value to set a new default
    
    var fp14 = new FunctionParameter("alertSound", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp14.setName("Sounds");
    fp14.addOption("buzz.wav");
    fp14.addOption("ding.wav");
    fp14.addOption("beep.wav");
    fp14.addOption("blip.wav");
    fp14.addOption("chord.wav");
    fp14.setDefault("ding.wav"); //Edit this value to set a new default

Then replace the following line of code

PHP Code:


function main(MA1Length,MA1Offset,MA1Source,MA1Type,Color1, Style1,MA2Length,MA2Offset,MA2Source,MA2Type,Color2,Style2) {

with the following

PHP Code:


 function main (MA1Length, MA1Offset, MA1Source, MA1Type, Color1, Style1, MA2Length, MA2Offset, MA2Source, MA2Type, Color2, Style2, alertType, alertSound) {

Lastly replace the following section of code

PHP Code:


if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){

if(vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0) >= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0) && vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1) <= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1)) {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Fast MA >= Slow MA", Color.black, Color.green); 
Alert.playSound("ding.wav");
}

if(vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0) <= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0) && vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1) >= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1)) {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Slow MA >= Fast MA", Color.black, Color.red); 
Alert.playSound("bullet.wav");
}
}

with the following

PHP Code:


if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
        if (vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA, 0) >= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA, 0) && vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA, -1) <= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA, -1)) {
            if(alertType!="None"){
                if(alertType=="Both" ||alertType=="Popup"){
                    Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Fast MA >= Slow MA", Color.black, Color.green);
                }
                if(alertType=="Both"||alertType=="Sound"){
                    Alert.playSound(alertSound);
                }
            }
        }
        if (vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA, 0) <= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA, 0) && vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA, -1) >= vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA, -1)) {
            if(alertType!="None"){
                if(alertType=="Both" ||alertType=="Popup"){
                    Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Fast MA >= Slow MA", Color.black, Color.green);
                }
                if(alertType=="Both"||alertType=="Sound"){
                    Alert.playSound(alertSound);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Once you apply these changes you will be able to select whether to only trigger a popup or play a sound or both or neither. You will also be able to select between different sounds (note that you can always add more option to the appropriate function parameter

Is there a way to make the following formula have a selectable option for Pop up and Sound? Can you also make the sounds selectable to differentiate between alerts set in charts? Thank you.
