If you want the music to keep playing continously checked the loop box. Then when you want it to stop add the stop music behavior. Then if you want it to start again from where it was add the play music behavior and go down to resume current music.

Incredibo

i did that & it still doesn't work
do i have to make an actor some where after the music on/off button

AjBlue

oh, what you probably need to have is a global boolean attribute saying if its true. when you die it probably resets the button

Incredibo

So I made the global but now where do i put it's true

Thank U So Much,
Bo

AjBlue

nevermind, i think i might have read it wrong. if you have followed the gamesaladcookbooks tutorial it should have worked

JohnPapiomitis

what exactly are you trying to do. Are you making a music on off button? because if so you have to use modulos to toggle the attribute for on and off

Incredibo

Yes I Already have the button Working fine but it doesnt continue once i die

Incredibo

music doesn't continue once dead

JohnPapiomitis

This is what you have to do. Have a attribute call it music toggle and have it a interger set to zero. Have a rule when attribute music toggle = 0 change attribute device audio music volume to 10. Then have another rule when attribute music toggle = 1 change attribute device audio music volume to 0.

Then in the music on off button actor have a rule when touch is pressed change attribute music toggle to (music.toggle+1)%2

The expression above is modulos. That is how you switch between 1 and 0. If you have rules when touch is pressed change to 1 and when touch is pressed and it equals one change to zero it doesnt work like that. It will work if you do it like i said

Incredibo

& the music toggle I put in the sound on & off button?

JohnPapiomitis

yes put the music toggle rules in the sound on off button, and the music toggle attribute you make is global and interger

Incredibo

Thanks & So Anything from before I change all the 1's to 0's

JohnPapiomitis

nope just have everything like i posted above

Well you need to have a play sound behavior when the scene starts if it resetes the scene when you die

jonmulcahy

what exactly are you trying to accomplish?? it sounds to me like you have the play music or sound rule added to your actor, and when he dies, you destroy it, which kills the rule. Is that correct?

what is your final goal?

Thats what ive been trying to figure out lol. He said he want a sound on off button but then he said the sounds stops when he dies so i think he has the sounds in destroying actor like you said, thats why i told him to put the sounds behaviors in the sound button itself.

jonmulcahy

it seems like a lot of people have been asking questions and expecting answers when they only give 50% of the information.

Incredibo

haha I am so sorry that I only gave 50% lol okay i have the On/Off Button on there already but when I die I the music seams to stop
i followed JP's & CookBook & still can't seem to figure it out

Once Again Im SORRY FOR GIVING 50%

JohnPapiomitis

do you have a stop music behavior in when the actor dies? you can send me the project if you want me to take a look at it, its up to you

jonmulcahy

how is your play music function setup? where is the rule located? does your on/off button work as you expect? when you say you die, what happens. what sort of rules do you have on your player character? what sort of rules do you have on your playMusic actor (if you have one)?

Incredibo

@Jon Mulcahy I have the On/Off button & Works fine.....
no I have the Resume Music on the flag to the next level.....
Rule is located on the options menu....
When I die or hit an evil monster I PUT A RULE ON HIM TO RESET SCENCE......
When It Reset Scence the Music Doesn't Play

Thanks,
