SUGGESTION: Get[Channel/DigitalMaster/Music[Master]/Sound/Speech]Volume

[monkey0506]

Wouldn't it be nice if we had some way of finding out what the volume was at any given point?

You can use a variable to keep track of it. In fact, you could modulise some simple code and there you'd have it.

[monkey0506]

First of all it's modularize, not modulise.

But trying to make a module to do this would be...somewhat silly IMO. It would require the users to use my functions for setting the volume just so that I could change my variable, and if they called the built-in functions then my variable would hold the wrong value.

So it's not really practical to try tracking it this way...for a module. It would just be nice if we had some built-in methods of find out the volume.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Oh, I agree with your suggestion, and I think it's a good one, and I don't see it being problematic to add. You just said it would be nice to have a way of getting those values, and I helpfully told you how to get them. :

Anyway, I'll say modulise if I wanna.

[Pumaman]

Yes, someting like this would be useful. The only issue is that AGS doesn't currently get the volume itself at startup, but I'm sure that can be overcome.

[monkey0506]

I've just had a thought. It might be easier if there was just a GetVolume function that took an enumerated parameter to determine which volume to retrieve. Of course putting them all together like that might just make things a big mess. :
