Help with Button-What did I do wrong?

ds1239

This is what I have set up for my sound effects button (it's not working):

When touch is pressed and attribute self.soundon=true:
change attribute self.soundon to false, and change image.

When touch is pressed and attribute self.soundon=false:
change attribute self.soundon to true, and change image.

When attrebute self.soundon=true:
change attrebute game.audio.sound to 1

When attrebute self.soundon=false:
change attrebute game.audio.sound to 0

The image isn't changing, and neither is the attribute! What did I do wrong?

Hi @ds1239 it's best to have this toggle with a Rule and its Otherwise section:

Rule: When touched is pressed
Rule: ---nested in the above--- When self.soundon is true
Change Attribute self.soundon to false
Change Image
Otherwise
Change Attribute self.soundon to true
Change Image

That works, but the button is in my pause menu. Once i go back to the level, then back to pause, it turns the sound on even though i pressed off the last time i was in pause

Oh, I see, I thought it was for the user to toggle sound on and off...

So in this case, just put Change Attribute self.soundon to true in an actor at the outside of your scenes play area; and in your pause button, just a Change Attribute self.soundon to false. I think that should work for you.

It is to toggle sound, in the pause menu.

It works when I go to any other scene, but when I go to pause it resets the Sound Audio attribute to 1 even though I turned it to 0 before.

OK, if it's to toggle the sound, then you don't need a custom attribute, you can just toggle the sound volume....

But to check first, with your pause game, I assume you've got a button on each scene with a Pause Game behaviour in it's Rules?

Ok. That worked. Thanks for the help!
