How to play sound in templateRender Empty How to play sound in templateRender

Hello,

I want a sound to play when I touch a certain region of the screen. I have the code checking to see if the user is over the region, like this:

////////////////////////////////////////
In templateRender:

if(userIsTouchingRegion()){
sio2SoundPlay(my_sound);
}
////////////////////////////////////////


The problem is: because it is being called every frame, the sound restarts over and over and never even finishes.

So, my question is: how do I check if the sound is already playing, and if it ISN'T, play the whole thing, without looping?

By using this:

////////////////////////////////////////
if(my_sound->state != SIO2_SOUND_PLAY){
sio2SoundPlay(my_sound);
}
////////////////////////////////////////

This prevents it from restarting, but it only plays once.

I need it to play whenever the user is touching, EXCEPT when it's already playing.


I hope I've explained this clearly. Thank you in advance!

This is more of an OpenAL question. Check out the code in sio2SoundUpdateState(), you should be able to check the state with call to alGetSourcei() and respond to a state of:
AL_PLAYING
