@kajuto

Hi Kajuto, if you're using the Audio.SoundVolume, it's turning off all of the sounds, not just one; that's the reason you're having trouble, I think.

This should help; amend your Rules to be like this:

Option Button

Rule: When Touch is pressed
play sound
change image -- to something else

----putting the change scene into touch released will make it less rushed, so------

Rule: When Touch is released -----(or in the Otherwise section of the above Rule)---
change image --- back to original image
change scene

Hope that's what you're after.

Gyroscope thanks for the reply! i want when touch the Sound On/Off Button turn off all the sound but i dont know why each time i enter the Option Button and go back to the main menu all the sound turn off no matter i turn on or off the Sound On/Off Button....

gyroscope

OK, I see now what you're after.... (I really must start reading other people's posts properly... ;-)

I'm still not completely sure why you need to turn off all the sounds but hey, if that's an option in your game, I can't argue!

......although maybe you're after turning off Music, rather than sounds?

Anyhow, as long as your attribute game.soundOnOff is an integer, I can't see why you're having problems...

Maybe rename it without the slash (as I've done above); a small thing, I know but it might have an effect....

Here's one of many tutorials on using modulus for toggling; it's essentially what you already have but it might be of help...

I do have a website (the link for it shows under any one of my posts); it shows my writing and music stuff as well as the apps I've done/involved with.

But as for being like @tshirtbooth 's website....... nooooooo!!! :P I couldn't get anywhere near what TSB's done and achieved with his many excellent tutorials on his site (not to mention the amount of games he's made - but I'll try to catch up to match that one day perhaps....) ;-)

http://gshelper.com/ is totally worth bookmarking in your browser. :-)

yep tshirtbooth's website is really good, http://www.gshelper.com, it is full of free templates and templates that are really good (not free)

kajuto

@pan_joshua that true, i love his web. It's helped me a lot really, if you guys know any other web like Tshirtbooth let me know.. thanks a lot

@gyroscope hi there!! sorry to bother you. I got to turn off all the sound i got for the main menu button but as you said, it turn off ALL, i just one to turn off all the Sound from main menu, option menu, tutorial menu, credit menu, world menu and level menu, because i got each button a sound, for example: Back button, play button, option button, tutorial button and so on...., BUT I DON'T WANT to TURN OFF the sound inside the gameplay

gyroscope

@kajuto No bother; no worries!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we've been away for a couple of days.

If you want some sounds to only play once, make a boolean attribute to act as a switch for each one..
So:
when OptionPlay is false
Play Sound
Change attribute OptionPlay to true

But... I'm still scratching my head to understand why you want these sounds to only play once; surely you want the sound to play every time the user presses the button?

kajuto

@gyroscope thanks!!!! a lot! lol don't scratched your head for something you don't know why the other people doing. sometime it don't have a explanation.

by chance, is there any other way i can communicate with you more faster? like....skype, facebook, ect...

OK! I can't argue with that!! :P

I've always intended to use Skype but never got around to sorting it; I really can't be bothered with Facebook; so you're always welcome to email me (shown on my website). I'll try to help out if I can (and if I have the time).

But having said that, ideally it's best you ask your questions here in the Forums; not only will you get other members' answers as well as mine, the answers given might help others. :-)
