Hi guys

I have a mute button on the main menu. Do I have to say when this button is pressed change attribute say..Game.mute=1 and then have every single sound and music in my game under a rule when game.mute is 0 then play sound or music?

is that right??

Thanks

    I think it differs from the ammout of sound tracks you have playing.

    There are two options if im right.

    One being Change att > Volume to 0.

    Actually that's it lol!

    When "Button" is TOUCHED Change att > devices > sound > 0

    Hi app-etite, you might want to consider, with ozboybrian's good suggestion of changing volume to 0: just change the sound volume to 0, and use a Pause Music behavior for the music. That way the music will continue from where it left off, when it's unpaused using a Play Music behavior again, marked as Resume Current Music.

    Hi guys,

    I know this is a really old thread, but it already helped me solve half my problem so I thought I'd just bump it rather than create a new post...

    When the user pauses the game I'm working on, they're taken to a pause screen with the option to turn the sound & music on or off. I was able to get the music button to pause / play the music no problem, and this thread helped me to figure out how to mute all sounds. But now I need to be able to unmute the sounds. Any thoughts on how I can achieve a mute/unmute sounds button?

    Thanks in advance!
