Hi,

I have a welcome screen where I have a number of buttons (new game, load game etc), but I'd really like to make it so that when the mouse goes over one of these buttons a clicking noise is made. I have the clicking noise ready, just don't know how to put it to the buttons

Can anyone give me any ideas?

since there are a lotta ways to make a menu (sprites, screen region detection, 3d objects, etc, i'll offer a general guideline:

assuming you have a way of detecting when the mouse is hovering over a menu option (we'll call it CurrentHover) or not (ie, DeadSpace), store that value as a variable... ie, LastHover



that's pretty broad but should give you the idea. without your menu code, we can't be more specific. hope this helps

edit: grrr. i gotta run or i'd add to this to make it more clear... hopefully someone picks up where i left off (or offers a better explanation). good luck!

if your menu is just using boxes you could try getting the mouse x and y and if that location is with in the box loacation play the sound.

NOTE: you will need something to check if the sound is already playing and if it is dont play
