How to play a sound when I hover over a button?

[JacobTheFox]

Hello people of the Love2D Community, I'm having a few troubles getting a sound to only play once while hovering over a button. Heres my code:

Code: Select all

sound = love.audio.newSource("assets/menusfs.mp3", "static")

Code: Select all

function button_draw()
   for i,v in ipairs(button) do
   
	  if v.mouseover == false then
	  love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0)
			end
	  if v.mouseover == true then
	  love.graphics.setColor(0,255,255)
	  end
	  love.graphics.setFont(medium)
	  love.graphics.print(v.text,v.x,v.y)
		
   end		
end

I think those are the parts I'd need to edit to make it work. Any ideas?

you don't show where you set the buttons' mouseover field though... but in there, just do a love.audio.play(sound)... or a sound:play().
Unless you set it up as looping, it should only play once.

Code: Select all

function button_check()
	for i,v in ipairs(button) do
	if mousex > v.x and
	mousex < v.x + medium:getWidth(v.text) and
	mousey > v.y and
	mousey < v.y + medium:getHeight() then
	 v.mouseover = true
	 else
		v.mouseover = false
		end
	 end
end

Thats the mouseover field. I tried to just do sound:play() but while I'm hovering over the button it just loops the sound until I take my mouse off of it.

I don't know if it can help, but

Code: Select all

love.audio.play( sound )

works for me.

This one:

Code: Select all

sound = love.audio.newSource("assets/menusfs.mp3", "static")

has to be put in love.load()

Code: Select all

function button_check()
	for i,v in ipairs(button) do
	if mousex > v.x and
	mousex < v.x + medium:getWidth(v.text) and
	mousey > v.y and
	mousey < v.y + medium:getHeight() then
	 v.mouseover = true
	 else
		v.mouseover = false
		end
	 end
end

Thats the mouseover field. I tried to just do sound:play() but while I'm hovering over the button it just loops the sound until I take my mouse off of it.

Try adding this right before v.mouseover = true:

Code: Select all

if not v.mouseover then love.audio.play(sound) end

Yay, it's working now. Thank you!
