Playing sound effects is broken up into playing general sounds (ie. in the game world) and playing user interface sounds. The reasoning behind this is that you might have your audio buses set up to include local modifiers (eg. being underwater) for local sounds where you wouldn't want your UI sounds being affected.
-
SoundManager.get_sound_volume() -> float:
Get the volume for sounds.
-
SoundManager.get_ui_sound_volume() -> float:
Get the volume for UI sounds.
-
SoundManager.set_sound_volume(volume_between_0_and_1: float) -> void:
Sets the volume for sounds using a given float between 0 and 1.
-
SoundManager.set_ui_sound_volume(volume_between_0_and_1: float) -> void:
Sets the volume for UI sounds using a given float between 0 and 1.
-
SoundManager.play_sound(resource: AudioStream, override_bus: String = "") -> AudioStreamPlayer
Play an audio stream intended for an action within the game world. Optionally specify which audio bus you want to use for this sound.
This returns the
AudioStreamPlayer
that is playing the sound so you can adjust the pitch or volume. -
SoundManager.play_sound_with_pitch(resource: AudioStream, pitch: float, override_bus: String = "") -> AudioStreamPlayer
Play an audio stream with a specific pitch. Optionally specify which audio bus you want to use for this sound.
-
SoundManager.stop_sound(resource: AudioStream) -> void
Stop a specific audio stream.
-
SoundManager.play_ui_sound(resource: AudioStream, override_bus: String = "") -> AudioStreamPlayer
Play an audio stream intended for the user interface. Optionally specify which audio bus you want to use for this sound.
This returns the
AudioStreamPlayer
that is playing the sound so you can adjust the pitch or volume. -
SoundManager.play_ui_sound_with_pitch(resource: AudioStream, override_bus: String = "") -> AudioStreamPlayer
Play a UI audio stream with a specific pitch. Optionally specify which audio bus you want to use for this sound.
-
SoundManager.stop_ui_sound(resource: AudioStream) -> void
Stop a specific audio stream.
-
SoundManager.set_default_sound_bus(bus: String) -> void
Sets the default audio bus used for playing sounds.
-
SoundManager.set_default_ui_sound_bus(bus: String) -> void
Sets the default audio bus used for playing UI sounds.
By default, general sounds are paused when the game is paused and UI sounds are not. To change this you can set SoundManager.sound_process_mode
and/or SoundManager.ui_sound_process_mode
. The values are of type ProcessMode
.
