It will work, but it'll start playing the sound again and again.

Every time the main loop is completed, it will check for the object hit and (depending on your code) probably register a collision. It will then start playing sound two. Again. And Again. And again...

This bit of code should ensure that the sound is only played once.


If the sound is already playing, then the program is not allowed to start playing it again!

Hope this helps!

you don't need the then at the end of that line. Also this will play the sound again as soon as it's finished... If you just want it once, then add another variable in, like so;


this has also removed the need for the Sound Playing check as after it first starts playing it won't play that sound again. Obviously if you started a new game you'd have to reset the endsoundplayed variable again.

Demon's Breath is right
