Volume

[summer_goth]

Hi there,

In the settings I've got it so that one can set the volume louder and softer.

However it just never seems to set the volume to 0. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

This is the code for a mouse up click event:

Code: Select all

if (musicvol != 0)
{
  musicvol -= 0.2;
}

The volume starts at 1. So eventually it should get to 0, but it doesn't. Is musicvol being rounded down maybe? Eh, I don't know.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah...making musicvol=0; wont make your music to be silent...btw,if you dont wanna use music...why dont you just set your speaker volume?Oh...so,you wanna make something like volume effect?

Nope, as far as I can see setting musicvol to zero will make it mute. However with the code I showed it doesn't seem to reach zero.

I can't just set my speaker volume. It's a game that's going to be released for Windows Mobile devices. It has settings and one of those settings is to set the volume. If I played a game on Windows Mobile and it didn't give me options to set the volume I would be rather irritated.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

It's a precision problem of the script engine.
Put this code after yours:

Code: Select all

if(musicvol < 0.0) musicvol = 0.0;

Thank you very much Makslane.

What is the difference between 0 and 0.0 anyway???

[makslane]

0 is a integer, 0.0 is a float.
To not make errors when the formula have a float variable, like musicvol, I like to use float numbers.

@B-A: The difference is the precision!
