(SOLVED) Adjusting the voice volume of 1 character

#1 Post by arty »

Hey friends.

Let's say I have my character set up like this:

Code: Select all

define l = Character("Lisa", voice_tag="lisa")
But I have like 80 voice clips for her that I don't want to adjust the volume in the files manually for.
How can I tell Ren'Py to change the volume of her voice clips through code?

Putting this after the label start doesn't do anything:

Code: Select all

$ SetCharacterVolume('lisa', volume=0.6)
Any help would be appreciated!

Code: Select all

# inline in label
$ renpy.run( SetCharacterVolume('lisa', volume=0.6) ) 
# renpy.run() allows you to run a screen action in normal code

# or

default persistent._character_volume['lisa'] = 0.6
# outside any label
Note: If you were planning to allow the user to adjust each characters volume, you'd need to also adjust the max range on the bar for Lisa

The second one didn't work for me (got an error), but the first one seems to have done the trick! Thank you!
