Change sound played after touching actor

DankStew

Hey there fellow Game Salad users, I'll keep it quick and simple because everybody is prob. busy with every/anything iPad: how do you make an actor play a different sound when touched?

Ex. Touch the main actor to play sound 1,
Touch alt actor, then touch main actor to play sound 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any help on this one? Am I blind to the answer? Is it a Boolean rule? I don't know... help please.

A boolean only allows for two values (true or false). If you only have two sounds a boolean will work fine. If you have more than two you need to use a game integer attribute and set it to 1

Let's say you have three:

So in the switch button have a rule that says

Rule -when touch is pressed
_ Rule- game.sound=1
change attribute game.sound to 2

_ Rule- game.sound=2
change attribute game.sound to 3

_ Rule- game.sound=3
change attribute game.sound to 1

In main actor
Rule When touch is pressed
_ Rule When game.sound=1
play sound1

_ Rule When game.sound=2
play sound2

_ Rule When game.sound=3
play sound3

scitunes

the "_ rule" means they are all within the rule that doesn't have the "_" in front of it.

Attribute: game.soundnumber(Interger)
Main: When actor recieves event, touch/and when attribute game.sound = 1
Play sound XXXXX
.........................................
When actor recieves event, touch/and when attribute game.sound = 2
Play sound YYYYY

Alt Actor: When touch is inside/ and when touch is released/and when game.sound = 1
Change game.sound to 2
..........................................
When touch is inside/ and when touch is released/and when game.sound = 2
Change game.sound to 1

This should work

Cool! Thanks for the help guys. I was thinking of just doing a simple one or the other sound choice, but I like the potential with your ways of doing it with the attributes.

Thanks scitunes and CowTechMan!
