Sounds Volume in Construct 2

[Ravenlegend]

Hi, I set up some sounds in spriter as the Tutorial videos show, I then set their volumes in spriter. When I imported them to Construct and set up the Sound trigger event as shown in the tutorial, None of the volumes I set remained, instead all of the sounds play at 100%, is there a way to get construct 2 to refer back to the volume levels assigned by Spriter or do I need to manually lower each sounds volume level in a separate audio program before using them? Thank you.

I think you need another event to make sure volume matches any changes.. I've never done it. I'll bring this thread to Edgar's attention so he can give better guidance.

@Ravenlegend Make sure to fill in the optional Tag field in the Audio - Play action (below left)

And then use the On sound volume triggered condition, along with something like the Audio - Set volume action below on the right.

Spriter uses a volume ratio, with 0.0 for no volume, and 1.0 for full volume, 0.5 for half, etc, while Construct 2 uses decibel attenuation.  Adjust the -20 to something larger if it's not making a large enough volume difference.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

is That ( between the *and1 on -20*(1-scml correct? it wouldnt let me input that string as is, and when I deleted the ( it made all kinds of slow down noises. Thanks for the feedback.

I missed the ) at the end.

Hi... this alone will not make them all the same volume, but it's a start. Mastering all sounds to be at the same level is a lot more complicated than just adding volume. Sometimes you need EQ and compression along with gain to help you balance out the sound.
