    When actor is pressed and
    attribute game.sound = 1
    play music
    change attribute game.sound to 0

    when actor is pressed and
    attribute game.sound = 0
    stop music

    or you can use pause music instead of stop music if you dont want it to start over

    change attribute game.sound to 1.

    ok for some reason this is not working for me, do i add the attribute game.sound = 1 inside the first when touch is pressed rule?

    will the stop music work with a sound file these narrations are sound files not music files

    I just tried it with a sound and it will not work you will need to import it as music.
    Also add a timer for the change game.sound
    so make it
    When actor pressed and
    game.sound = 0
    After 0.1 second [x] run to completion
    change attribute game.sound to 1

    and add a timer on the other change sound attribute

    nooo dont use a rule like that with a timer to toggle that attribute, thats silly

    Make your own attribute called musicoff

    Have a rule in your music on off button when touch is pressed:

    change attribute musicoff to (musicoff+1)%2

    that will toggle it back and forth beween 0 and 1 no timer needed

    then just have a rule when attribute music off=1 change attribute game music volume to
    then in the otherwise section of that rule change attribute game music volume to 1

    To do it as sound set a secondary actor to spawn that plays sound when your button change attribute is 1 and destroy that sound playing actor when the attribute is 0

    why on earth would you spawn and destroy to stop music/sound....
  • ChaserChaser Member Posts: 1,453
    Simple it works for sounds!

    I hope you dont plan on playing that sound much. There will probably be some lag time also.

    @chaser and its the stupidest thing ive ever heard lol no offense, you can stop sound probably alot more effeicently, AND easier and with less rules

    @fiabanfriends

    i told u what to do. If u want to change sound instead of music use the game audio music attribute and not game audi sound

    Let's keep it positive John!
    He asks for advice on a sound and not music therefore I provide one.
    Perhaps you can provide one of your SMART easy examples on how to stop a sound as I'm sure we'd all like to know.

    haha i didnt mean that as me attacking you, im just saying that not really good advice to give

    i posted the best and easiest way above, which is also the same way shown in the video im pretty sure

    you use modulo to toggle a attribute between 1 and 0 for each touch, and base your sounds off that. its like 4 rules if that

    cheers

    I guess it's just unfortunate that GS doesn't provide a pause and stop sound behavior
