Separating sound and music volumes?

alexwebermagic

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue which I can't seem to figure out.

Obviously when you add sounds to your game they either fall into the 'Sound' or 'Music' categories.

I want to be able to set buttons so that you can set sound and/or music to be off separate from each other.

So i have a music off button that when pressed changes the device.audio.music to 0 but does not change the audio.sound settings.

However when i press this button it mutes all sounds and music in the game and not JUST the music.

I hope this explains it clearly enough. What am I doing wrong??

Hi @alexwebermagic.

I tend to not use the device volume attributes as they don't work well for me. Instead I create my own game level 'real' attributes for MUSICVOL and SFXVOL (ranging from 0 to 1)

Then when I use 'Play Music' or 'Play Sound' behaviours, I set the volume in the expression editor to use MUSICVOL or SFXVOL.

Hope that helps!
