How do I detect music off in individual pages when using scenecontroller?

flyhere

I have 5 pages, they are controlled by scenecontroller.

Scenecontroller simply has 3 buttons: go back a page, go forward a page, and a toggle-button for music on/off which works fine for background music on all pages.

self.music:addEventListener("click", self.musicToggle, self)

function sceneController:musicToggle()
if isMusicOn then
isMusicOn = false
bgmusic:stop()
else
isMusicOn = true
bgmusic = bgtune:play(0, true)
end
end


When I'm in a page, I also have other events that will play other sound-effects. I want to have these sounds off or on depending on my musicToggle. I can't use "if isMusicOn" since that is declared in Scenecontroller.

What can I do? I hope I'm making sense.

Thanks

I've created a Sounds.lua class just for that purpose:
https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GameTemplate/blob/master/classes/Sounds.lua

Usage is like this:

--in the main lua   sounds = Sounds.new() --adding key and filename sounds:add("sound1", "sound1.wav") sounds:add("sound2", "sound2.wav") sounds:add("sound3", "sound3.wav") --etc   --depending on your current setting turn it on --sounds:on()

in your scenes

--when you need to disable sounds, call sounds:off()   --and when need to enable again, call sounds:on()   --then when you need to play a sounds, simple call sounds:play("sound1") --if sounds are on they will play --if not, nothing will be played

Bonus

--you can add different sounds to same key sounds:add("lost", "lost1.wav") sounds:add("lost", "lost2.wav") sounds:add("lost", "lost3.wav")   --and then when you call play sounds:play("lost") --it will play one random sound from all provided

Thanks, will play with it.

@ar2rsawseen,
you can add a playNext function that will play the next random/queued sound.

main.lua calls scenecontroller.lua where I have the music toggle right now.

So I don't put any sound control in scenecontroller? and move the music toggle to main?

@flyhere you can make it a global variable at toggle at any scene you want
