Audio Listener Pause

[Flying Robot]

tiny action. But will come handy if you want to pause all audio in the scene and resume. Even one shot clips.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

This is a great action, thanks.

However... I have a bug.

If you trigger this action, it pauses all audio fine, however if you click away from your window (standalone PC build) and it goes into the default Unity sleep thing, when you click back on your game, the one-shot audio clips that were suspended will resume.

It handled my music track ok, but not the one-shot sfx sound that I triggered just being pausing my game.

Any chance you could look at/fix this?

I've added an option of running this action every frame so that when you return to the window it will remain paused.

Thanks for addressing that so quickly!

I am getting an error with this update though:

Assets/PlayMaker/Actions/AudiolistenerPause.cs(4,1): error CS8025: Parsing error

You must have right click saved the above github link. You will have to click on it, go to Github and then download.

Anyway I've attached it here

[jess84]

Thanks. I'm now running without errors.

It doesn't seem to work correctly though....

Now, it's resuming the audio for music as well as the one-shot clips when I tab away then back to my standalone build.

Using the old action, at least the only problem was the one-shot clips.

Have you tested it in a scene and confirmed that it works?

Cheers,

There's not much I can do here. This actions is a direct port of the unity runtime class.

Did you checked 'everyframe' ? My script will work, but when you return to the game window, you may notice the audio playing for a fraction of second before this actions kicks in.

I'd suggest you use 'set game volume' action alongside this and set the volume to zero.

There are lengthier processes to do this by pausing each audio source from an action. But this is faster way, and you don't have to search and list out all audio sources.

[jess84]

Hi,

Yes, I had 'every frame' checked.

I'm not really sure what difference this should have in theory, but in practice this update is worse than the original action on my scene. At least the music remained paused with the original action.

And it's not just a few frames, it continues with the music until the end of the track. And with the one-shot clips, plays to their end.

[jess84]

Oh, I probably should have mentioned;

I'm using this on a GUI button that I've set to activate pause mode - setting the ScaleTime to 0, and clicking the button again to put the ScaleTime back to 1.

But as I said, the original action worked perfectly other than the tabbing away then back to standalone build.

[Flying Robot]

Did you scale the time before triggering this action or after it.

[jess84]

I use this action and then scale time.

Everything works perfectly if I stay focused on my game - it's only if I click away, or minimize, and then go back to my game whilst it's paused - that's where the problem occurs.
