    • Volume control


      How do you get a volume system in coldstone?

    • It's easy, once you figure it out.
      I made a PoG plug-in that adds volume control — I'll email you the source if you want.

    • Hey, neat. I would also like to see how you did this. Would it be too much of a head ache to post to this forum? Otherwise, I wouldn't mind being emailed one, too.

    • Here's what I did:

      1. Make a new global named something like "gb_volume".

      2. Make a new event. Make a new "Change Global" action and make it set gb_volume to & &MusicVolume;, which is a tag value.

      3. Make an End Event action in the Linked Events list. Make a Conditional which says "If gb_volume is greater than or equal to '100' , End Event; else Do Nothing."

      4. Make another "Change Global" action in the main list. Make the "Change Global" action add 10 to gb_volume. Make a "Set Music Volume" action. In the only field, type "&&gb;_volume". Save your event and name it "Add Volume".

      5. Copy your event, rename it to "Subtract Volume", and change two things in Subtract Volume:

      A. Make the conditional say "If gb_volume is less than or equal to '0' , End Event; else Do Nothing."
      B. Change the second Change Global action so that it subtracts instead of adding.

      1. Bind these two events to keys, and you're all set. Easy, eh?
