sound Managing multiple sounds in just one Phaser sound object

[Fenopiù]

Good morning!

I've a related sounds question.

I would like to manage all my sounds in just one Phaser sound object, when i want to start playing one or more sounds, it all works properly but, when I have to check if one specific sound is playing, or if I want to pause/stop one specific sound I don't get how to do that.

Example:

let sounds: Phaser.Sound = null;
sounds = game.sound.play(sound1, 1, true);
sounds = game.sound.play(sound2, 1, false);
sounds = game.sound.play(sound3, 1, true);
sounds = game.sound.play(sound4, 1, false);

Now how I can check if sound2 is playing or pause/stop just sound4?

@samme all the examples have the same different case, I've already look at them before asking.

I have multiple sounds in my "sounds" object, in the examples any sound have his own object.

As there is a sounds.play(sound1) method, why there is not a sounds.isPlaying(sound1), a sounds.pause(sound1) and a sounds.stop(sound1)?

Or there is an way to do the same thing?

I don't understand what you're trying to do. You don't have multiple sounds in the sounds variable. You're just overwriting it with one sound at a time.

You need to save a reference to each sound if you want to control them separately.

var sound1 = game.sound.play('key1', 1, true);
var sound2 = game.sound.play('key2', 1, false);
var sound3 = game.sound.play('key3', 1, true);
var sound4 = game.sound.play('key4', 1, false);

sound1.isPlaying;
sound2.paused = true;
sound3.stop();
sound4.restart();

I'm trying to have just one function to manage the sound.

I give to this function the sound to play/pause/stop/resume, the volume and if it have to repeat the sound forever.

How can I manage that if, like you said, I need to have different variables?

Only with a switch/case or there is a better solution?

You can index the sounds by key yourself. Or you can loop through game.sound._sounds and find them.

Have you also checked the audio sprite exampels? Because it sounds exactly like what you do/want/need.

Audio sprite example show just the play function (that already is the only to work)... and it have all sounds in just one file, I've about 20 sound files.

Indexing the sounds by key is not what I've already done? O_o

For looping through game_sound._sounds I've to extend game.sound?

var sounds = {
  key1: game.add.sound('key1'),
  key2: game.add.sound('key2'),
  key3: game.add.sound('key3')
};

sounds.key1.paused = true;

No, any method with a reference to game.sounds could do this.

I've implemented this solution in two different ways:

const sounds_jukebox =
    {
        key1: game.add.sound('key1'),
        key2: game.add.sound('key2'),
        key3: game.add.sound('Sound/key3.wav')
    }
sounds_jukebox.key1.play();
sounds_jukebox.key2.isPlaying();
sounds_jukebox.key3.stop();

const sounds_jukebox2: { sound_id: string, sound: Phaser.Sound }[] =
    [
        {   "sound_id": "key1", "sound": game.add.sound('key1')},
        {   "sound_id": "key2", "sound": game.add.sound('key2')},
        {   "sound_id": "key3", "sound": game.add.sound('Sounds/key3.wav')}
    ]
sounds_jukebox2[key1].sound.play();
sounds_jukebox2[key2].sound.isPlaying();
sounds_jukebox2[key3].sound.stop();

But Google Chrome console log always give me this result:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'keyN' of undefined.

I've even tryed to change "const" in "let" or "var" but nothing is changed.

I preload audio files with a JSON in preload state, so "keyN" instead of "PathSoundKeyN" should work, am I right?

I'm just a jerk... solution found!

The second one is the one it works... with a little correction.

let sounds_jukebox: { sound: Phaser.Sound }[];

function jukebox(): void
{
  sounds_jukebox =
    [
        {"sound": game.add.sound('key1')},
        {"sound": game.add.sound('key2')},
        {"sound": game.add.sound('key3')}
    ]
}

sounds_jukebox[key1].sound.play();
sounds_jukebox[key2].sound.isPlaying();
sounds_jukebox[key3].sound.stop();

So, placing a jukebox() in app.ts, game is defined when I call sounds_jukebox!

Thanks @samme, I own you a beer!
