Fade music in Construct 2?

First of all, Construct 2's the best! This is the only program I know where you can make a full game in just a few minutes! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Anyway, I know it's a noobish question for you guys (I'm still quite new at this), but I've been searching on the forums how to do just that -- sadly, the only solution found applies only for Construct Classic.

Any help would be appreciated! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Extract from the how do I FAQ (sticky in that forum) section "Audio" :

olume control on a sound played - LINK

This is for sounds, but should also apply to music.

Also to fade it, use the lerp expression (also explained in the how do I FAQ).

I did try that, but I don't have any idea how to implement lerp into Soundvol. I attempted adding a 'lerp (-40, 0, 2*dt)' to the 'add to' action for variable Soundvol, but it didn't work. Any ideas?

guess you should set the new value, instead of adding it.

LERP volume fading audio capx example

Thanks a lot! :D

Thanks for example Kyatric .... really interesting ... hummm ... HAVE SOMEONE a formula for doing a Rlerp (Reverse Lerp) ... the fade out is really to fast !!

This give me a idea to improve this example :

• > With a jungle sound only on right stereo channel
• > And the same jungle sound only on left stereo channel

Seems easy to create a 2D positionnal system ajusting volume on the two channels no ?

I don't have tools to do this sounds but i'm really ready to create a bigger example with this 2D features !

Kyatric Hi, I was just following this capx and I couldn't for the life of me work out what the number 40 was used for in the LoopVolume actions and conditions.

I was trying to modify this as to allow the music to start at -10, but really couldn't work out what was happening in the beginning - any help would be great :)

sean Noonan: Audio volume works in -10 (db) intervals.

-10 is half as loud as 0.

It's an old example so I can't remember exactly what the thought process was, but I think through trial and error that -40 ended up being a true "no sound volume anymore".

Kyatric

I thought Ashley mention the true absolutely no sound to be -99.

When I put my computer and amplifier at max, I found -40 still audible and only -99 to produce no sound.

Just my experience.

I would also change this be instead of

LoopVolume < 40

I would use System LoopVolume < 39 -> Set 'Loop' volume to -LoopVolume db

This will save some processing. As you lerp from 39 onwards, the values get progressively smaller, extra cpu cycles that aren't needed. IE it goes 0-39 fast but then 39-40 after a few seconds.
