ChannelVolume

ChannelVolume channel_handle, volume#

Parameters:

channel_handle = variable assigned to the channel when played
volume# = volume level floating value between 0 and 1

Description:

While SoundVolume happily changes the volume of the entire program, this command will let you adjust volume rates on a 'per channel' basis. Extremely useful.

The volume value is a floating point value between 0 and 1 (0 = silence, .5 = half volume, 1= full volume). You can do other cool stuff like ChannelPitch and ChannelPan too!

Example:

; Channel examples

Print "Loading sound ..."
; Load the sample - you'll need to point this to a sound on your computer
; For best results, make it about 5-10 seconds...
sndWave=LoadSound("level1.wav")
; Prepare the sound for looping
LoopSound sndWave

chnWave=PlaySound(sndWave)

Print "Playing sound for 2 seconds ..."
