How to make a button play a sound in XCODE 7!

Hello, and in this video we're going to

learn how to make buttons play a sound

when pressed on in Xcode 7. Okay, so first

open a new project and click on— I can't

remember, what was it? New Product

Project. I did one Single

View Application. Okay, so after you've

done that, go to General and go down to

Linked Frameworks and Libraries and And

press plus and look for Audio Toolbox.

And you'll see it there. I've already

added it, so just add that so it appears

down here. And then go to Main Storyboard

and create your buttons. I've already

created them. Just look for buttons down

at the bottom right and drag them onto the

screen. And you can resize,

auto-resizing. Make sure these are in the

middle so it appears in the middle of the

screen. Okay, next you need to go to

ViewController.h. And we need to import

the audio library. So just copy that bit,

and instead of this UIKit, put

AudioToolbox. And then under interface,

open curly brackets and close. And then we

need to declare the buttons that we are

going to press. So call it— we need system

sound ID, and we'll call it button1. And

then system sound ID and button 2. Okay,

now we need IB actions. So IB actions are

code for when we press the button, it will

run this code. So we need a middle line,

don't know what it's called, brackets, IB

action, and we'll call it button 1

sound. And then

just copy paste paste it. Change it to

button2Sound. Okay, and now

go into ViewController.m,

and in the— under viewDidLoad.

Okay, so there's going to be some long

code here. Now I can't actually remember

it. I remember some of it. Let's see if I

can remember it. Okay, so I think it was

NSURL And then asterisk.

Now we want to call our sound something,

so let's just call it button1Sound.

And then— nope, I can't remember it. Hold

on, let me just get it. So here's the code

you need. I almost got it. It was ns—

nsuil, and then change this to our new

one, button1. Sound,

and this is just something that we choose

to name it. It can be whatever you want.

NSURL file URL with path, NSBundle main

bundle, and this first red one is what

your sound's going to be called. Okay,

first let's bring our sounds in. Hold on,

that was my other project. Oh.

Okay, so get your sounds. We'll have

blood1 and blood2, and drag it down to

supporting files. Now what I found is if

you don't tick this, all of these, it

makes the project crash. So tick all of

those like I have and it should be fine.

I don't know why it does that.

Okay, so we have our first one called

blood1, so just type blood1 like it is

there, and it's an M4A file, so of type

will be M4A. If it's MP3 or WAV,

just change it like that. And then audio

services create system sound ID, and these

are 2 lines, underscore bridge shoot

sound. So this, this text should be the

same as this one, so button 1 sound. It

should be the nsurl And this one should be

the same as the one we did in

ViewController.h. So we called it button1,

so this should be called

button1SystemSoundID.

Now we need to do the IBAction for the

button. And what

was it called? I can't remember. We called

it button1Sound.

It should come up automatically.

And get rid of the double sender and

do open curly brackets and close, and then

do— what was it?

I can't remember this one either. Hold on,

it was in my other project. It was Oh,

where did I put it?

Here it is. Audio services play system

sound. So put that into the IB action for

your button. Audio services— I can't—

I still can't remember it. Why do they

make this so long? Audio services play

system sound. And then type here open

brackets and then button1.

This bit's also the same as this, as the

one in .h that we just made. Okay, so now

it should actually work. Let's test it

out. Okay, first we have to link the

buttons so it knows which one to use.

Go into the 6th tab along after pressing

on the top of the ViewController, and here

it is, Received Actions, button1Sound.

Click on the top button, touch up inside,

and then let's do run.

See if it works.

Where is it? It's taking its time.

Okay, okay, we have our buttons. Now let's

see if it works. Yep, did you hear

that? That lovely blood splatter.

Okay, now let's go on to programming

button 2. So basically it's the same, so

just copy IBAction, and this is for our

second button. So we change button 1 sound

to button 2 sound, and we change this

sound to button 2, and we also have to

copy and paste this bit. Now we always

need this bit inside viewDidLoad so that

when it loads the application, it's

loading all the sound. If you put this bit

inside the IBAction, the first time you

press the button, it won't actually play

the sound, but the second time it will.

So you need to put it here. This is what I

found after some— after hours and hours of

trial and error and lots of stressing out.

So I'm making this video to make it easier

for you guys. So just copy and paste it.

Now what we have to change is this one to

Button 2 Sound and change

all of it to Blood 2, Button 2 Sound,

and Button 2. And don't forget— I

think that's all.

Now we have to link it up. We could change

this one, Button 1 Make it more easy

to understand. Button 2. And drag this

down to your second button. Touch up

inside and run.

See if it actually works.

So blood 1 and blood 2.

Nice. See, it wasn't so hard. It took me

like all day today. To figure out how to

do this because the tutorial I used, it

didn't explain how to make multiple

buttons and multiple sounds. He only told

me how to do one button, so I had to

figure out how to do a second sound and

second buttons.

So there it is.

Obviously you can add more buttons and you

can also, you can As

long as this bit's in the viewDidLoad and

you put this code into whatever you want

to make the sound, for example, you could

have a collision like if CGRect intersects

CGRect, some something something frame,

something something frame, and then you do

this one underneath it. So when those

things collide, that this sound will play.

So for example, you could have a bullet

and a monster, and when they collide this

button also plays. But that will take some

time to set up. I might do it in the next

video. If you want to see that, just leave

a like or a comment and I'll start making

that video. But I hope this video was

helpful. If, if there was this video

available to me, would have made my life a

lot easier. But anyway, that's how you use

Audio Toolbox. To make sounds.

I'm not sure how to make, like, a sound

keep looping after it's played because I

want, like, a background sound for music

in my game, but I'm not sure how to loop

the sound yet. So after I found out

how to do that, I might make a new video.

Anyway, thanks for watching, and I'll see
