Decrease / Increase Music Volume

This thread is a few years old. Some details may refer to an earlier version of Visionaire Studio. Current tutorials

  I would need a little script for the + and - key to control the volume of the music.

  Dazu brauchst du doch kein Script :-)
  Geh auf Tastenaktionen -> + / - -> Lautstärke ändern -> Musik -> Operator +/-
  Oder willste was Anderes?

  @all: I cannot control the music volume via the action part. When i use the action part "change volume", nothing happens when i press the keys. So i thought lua could maybe help Also i thought about a more fluid change of the volume... not in steps (action part)

  you mean to fade in/out the volume smoothly/gradually as opposed to directly changing from x amount to x amount?
  
  I recently got my thinking cap on about the mainLoop function & that we don't necessarily need to use it for creating loops. I completely forgot about the while & repeat functions of Lua.
  
  In other words you could create a function which you can call along with an included variable to control the function....
  
  

  -- let's create a function to smoothly increase/decrease music volume without using mainLoop function
  function setMusicVol(sta, vol)
   if sta == 1 then
    repeat
     if getVolume(eMusicVolume) > vol then setVolume(eMusicVolume, getVolume(eMusicVolume) - 1) end
     --print("volume:" .. getVolume(eMusicVolume)) --testing only!
    until getVolume(eMusicVolume) <= vol
   elseif sta == 2 then
    repeat
     if getVolume(eMusicVolume) < vol then setVolume(eMusicVolume, getVolume(eMusicVolume) + 1) end
     --print("volume:" .. getVolume(eMusicVolume)) --testing only!
    until getVolume(eMusicVolume) >= vol
   end
  end
  

  
  
  call it via an execute a script action part > setMusicVol(sta, vol)
  sta (state) integer value (1=decrease volume, 2=increase volume)
  vol (volume) integer value (add a number between 0 & 100)
  
  P.S: it fades really quick so if you wanted to slow it down you would have to create an pause action part which toggles a condition but I'm not going to show how to do that for the sake of keeping this simple.

  & something without fading...
  for you to manually alter with +/- key input commands.
  
  

  -- let's create the increase/decrease music volume function
  function adjMusicVol(sta, val)
   if sta == 1 then
    if getVolume(eMusicVolume) > 0 then setVolume(eMusicVolume, getVolume(eMusicVolume) - val) end
    if getVolume(eMusicVolume) < 0 then setVolume(eMusicVolume, 0) end
   elseif sta == 2 then
     if getVolume(eMusicVolume) < 100 then setVolume(eMusicVolume, getVolume(eMusicVolume) + val) end
     if getVolume(eMusicVolume) > 100 then setVolume(eMusicVolume, 100) end
   end
  end
  

  
  
  execute a script > adjMusicVol(sta, val)
  
  sta = integer value (1=decrease, 2=increase)
  val = integer value (this controls how much volume increases/decreases - I recommend value between 1 & 10)

  Thanks for the scripts lee. Thats fantastic.
  
  You know what? The + and - Keys didnt work to increase/decrease the music... because i tried to use the keys from the numeral part on the right of my laptop-keyboard. ^^ The MAIN Keys are working.

  yes, speaking of that, we could do with adding some more keys to the key input such as ctrl, alt, shift etc & the numerical keys.
  but people who would use numerical keys should take into consideration that not all people on laptops/netbooks or people using small keyboards have easy access or access to the numpad.
