How do I add a global music toggle button

Hello people,

I have browsed the forums and looked at multiple videos and tutorials on trying to get this to work and I don't know why it isn't.. Seems like it should on the amount of different ways i have tried to do it?

Atm i have this one because its the one that makes sense to me... And should work?

Add else to your second toggle event.

Still isn't working. If i change the toggle to set silent it makes the music silent but of course cannot turn it back on. Maybe the toggle action is bugged or am i still doing something wrong?

I think your "toggle silent" action gets executed twice, once in On Touched event and once in On Mouse Click event.

If you are testing on PC, both events are triggered at the same time.

So it toggles off, then on again, that's why nothing happens.

You can set "Use Mouse Input=No" in Touch properties or remove the On Mouse event, and change your code to this:

On Touched button
   Set Toggle_music to (Toggle_music=0)      <-this will toggle the variable, 0 will become 1, 1 will become 0

System->Compare variable->Toggle_music=0
System->Trigger once
     Audio->Pause "music"

System->Compare variable->Toggle_music=1
System->Trigger once
     Audio->Resume "music"

Thank you! Working now. I even tried changing it to "or" But turns out on touch and mouse button click are basically both working as a mouse button click (on a mac)

also another thing, as i want this button on all my 4 layouts. How would I make it work on all the layers.. I tried including the event sheet but it bugs the game. And when i just copy and paste the events and actions along with the button the sound loops.

As i have the sound only playing on the menu screen as they will never be able to launch it from the scoreboard or game over screen etc. Then this music sound is playing over across all the layouts i have from the menu screen.

Basically i want a mute button exactly what i have done, but on the other layouts i got.
