Mute all sounds in game

[hiithaard]

Hi there!

So I'm making a game where I have made a table "gSounds" which has all the sounds required.

Now, I want to add a feature which mutes all the sounds in the game.

But if I do

Code: Select all

gSounds:setVolume(0)

then it raises an error.

I can individually set the volumes of all the sounds to zero but there are so many that I have used and it'll take a lot of time in doing so. So is there any short way in which I can achieve that?

Thanks for your help!

You can either find a library that supports that, or you can do this:

Code: Select all

for i,v in ipairs(gSounds) do v:setVolume(0) end

assuming your table has numeric indices, otherwise you'd need to use the slower pairs iterator function instead.

Well, there's also love.audio.setVolume to set the global volume. It won't affect the individual sound volumes though.

Hey, thanks a lot guys both the methods worked! And can you tell me about the libraries that you were talking about if you know any. Thanks again!
