change_vol confusion

darb1

Hi, I was experimenting with change_vol and am a bit confused now.

I guess my problem is that I don´t know what my events volume is to begin with? Is this parameter dependent on the velocity the event was played with?

Velocity and volume are different things, although you could use velocity to modulate the volume. The change_vol() function is structured like change_vol(<ID-number>,<volume>,<relative-bit>), where the relative bit is either 0 (absolute change) or 1 (change relative to current volume). Volume is in millidecibels. So change_vol($EVENT_ID, -2000, 1) would lower the event volume by 2 decibels. I recommend reading the KSP reference manual where this is explained.

I just got confused how you change something in decibels relative to current volume. Like which one is it.

If you play something and set the change to relative, then putting -2000 should have different effects depending on whether you play something at lets say -6dB vs. -12dB. So in this case, in what unit is the volume parameter? Then -2000 magically becomes -10% of -6 AND -12dB?

As you can see in the ref manual they use EVENT_VELOCITY somehow to create a simple exciter, so I thought maybe one could use it to get useful information to work with.

I think I got something twisted here.

change_vol just changes the volume in milli decibels, so -2000 is down 2 dB link

if you need to get the current volume of an event, you can use get_event_par and EVENT_PAR_VOLUME
