StreamVolumeSmoothingSetEx method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Sets the smoothing times, expressed in milliseconds, and related volume curve required to perform a fade-in after a PlaySound call or a fade-out after a StopSound call.

During the fading session the CallbackForPlayersEvents delegate is invoked with the nEvent parameter set to the following values:

 

EV_FADEIN_STARTED, EV_FADING_VOLUME_CHANGED and EV_FADEIN_COMPLETED after a call to the PlaySound method
EV_FADEOUT_STARTED, EV_FADING_VOLUME_CHANGED and EV_FADEOUT_COMPLETED after a call to the StopSound method

Parameter

Description

 

 

nPlayerIndex

Number representing the zero-based index of the involved player

bfadeIn

Boolean value indicating if the smoothing, obtained through a volume sliding. must be applied on start or stop of playback.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Meaning

false

The volume slide setting is intended as a fade-out activated when the StopSound method is invoked.

true

The volume slide setting is intended as a fade-in activated when the PlaySound method is invoked.

nSlideDuration

The time required to perform the volume sliding after a call to the PlaySound or StopSound method.

Accepted values are from 0 (default value, no sliding, immediate play or stop) to 20000: higher or lower values will be automatically cut to the nearest supported value.

nCurveType

Type of curve applied to the volume sliding.

Supported values are the following:

nLeftX

The horizontal position, expressed in percentage of the custom curve designer's area, of the left control point (*). This parameter is ignored if the nScaleType parameter above has been set to a value different from VOLUME_CURVE_CUSTOM.

nLeftY

The vertical position, expressed in percentage of the custom curve designer's area, of the left control point (*). This parameter is ignored if the nScaleType parameter above has been set to a value different from VOLUME_CURVE_CUSTOM.

nRightX

The horizontal position, expressed in percentage of the custom curve designer's area, of the right control point (*). This parameter is ignored if the nScaleType parameter above has been set to a value different from VOLUME_CURVE_CUSTOM.

nRightY

The vertical position, expressed in percentage of the custom curve designer's area, of the right control point (*). This parameter is ignored if the nScaleType parameter above has been set to a value different from VOLUME_CURVE_CUSTOM.

 

(*) The custom curve designer manages a windowed control, whose visual aspect can be defined programmatically, which allows designing volume curves based upon Bézier curves whose shape is defined through the manual positioning of 2 control points (displayed in cyan color on the graphic below). For further information about the use of the embedded CurveDesigner refer to the tutorial How to create custom volume curves.
