Continuing Sound After Pausing Game

ManxMann

Hi everyone,

When I pause the game and then click to continue to return back to the game, the sound from the game stops.

any ideas on how to fix this?

there should be a behaviour to pause the music. But if its a sound, then you will need to set up some rules. Music and sounds are treated differently.

Yeah it is a sound, any idea what rules I need to set up?

Thanks.

If you want to stop a sound from playing have it in a rule that when true it runs the Play Sound behavior (w/o the Run To Completion selected.) Making that false will stop the Play Sound behavior if it was playing.

Thank you again for the suggestion,

I have tried this by setting up a rule as follows;

if game.playsound = true do playsound

When you click pause;

change attribute game.playsound to false

Pause Game show scene Pause Menu

When you click continue;

change attribute game.playsound to true

Unpause Game

Yet the sound will not start to play again.

use Booleans for true/false attributes? Attach the sound to an image either outside the game area or inside, it will give you more control. Can you take a screenshot and post it

I've managed to get it to work,

I had to add a timer into the pause rule

when you click pause;

change attribute game.playsound to false

timer after 0 seconds

Pause Game show scene Pause Menu

for some reason it wont work without the timer.

I am using booleans and the sound rules are located in the Hud actor.
