hey, anyone here know how to use the sound functions?
i don't get what the documentation means when it says 'void setVolume: channel... blah blah blah'
anyone get how to use 'setVolume' 'setPan' 'Stop Sound'?

If you can just play a sound file or a music, use the
Play Sound and Play Music actions

right, but i would like to change these setting in-game!

Example:

Add a global integer variable called "mySoundChannel".

Using:
mySoundChannel = PlaySound2( soundPath, volume, loop, pan);

You can now use:
setPan(mySoundChannel, pan)
setVolume(mySoundChannel, volume)
stopSound(mySoundChannel)

ok..
I've got the variable:
sf1=PlaySound2("F:\\mem verse.wav", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);

but when I do:

setPan.("sf1" , ".5");

I've done an "illegal stucture operation"

Whoah. You need a sound demo to play with.

Use left and right arrow keys.

Up to shoot.

Can't shoot again until bullet destroyed.

Too easy? Turn you monitor off and play using sound alone.

Your sf1 variable must be an Integer (int) and in the setPan function you must use numerical values without quotes:

setPan(sf1, .5);

OK...
Now how do you get it so that the sound doesn't play over and over when you change pan/volume?

Also-
Is it possible to use all variables like this:

Code: Select all

sf1=PlaySound2("var1", var2, var3, var4);

Never mind!
it works.

OK.
Now we reach another question:
pretending that "var1" is the file name(still focussing up there with that code), if I did:
Event Add->Mouse Button Up->Conditional Action->actor2.text=1->add-script editor->var1=f:\soundfile
would this work after I exported it?
