Quick Audio Channels Question

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

In my app I have the main background music playing on cannel 1 and so it’s easy enough to control the volume on that channel.

However, I’m implementing separate music and sfx controls and so for the sfx I would like to control the volume of every channel except channel 1 for this.

How can I use:

[lua]audio.setVolume( 0.75, { channel=1 } ) – set the music volume on channel 1[/lua]

but state ‘everything except channel 1’?

I just did something similar using the following code…

audio.setVolume( 0.5, { channel=0 } ) – set the music volume on all channels
audio.setVolume( 0.75, { channel=1 } ) – set the music volume on channel 1 [import]uid: 10478 topic_id: 15967 reply_id: 59145[/import]

Works like a charm thanks.

Did have that idea but I assumed that in setting the master volume for all channels and then scaling an individual channel would scale it according to the master volume.

i.e. In the above example it would reduce channel 1 to 75% of the 50% already set before - if that makes sense.
Anyway, it doesn’t do that. It simply overwrites the value for that particular channel - just as I needed it too - so thank you once again. [import]uid: 74503 topic_id: 15967 reply_id: 59179[/import]
