Listener

Author: Jessy

Description

This is a script that replaces the Volume property of the Audio Listener. I feel that its behaves more intuitively than that of the Audio Listener itself. See the page for my Audio script for extensive details.  :-D

Instructions

The Volume parameter performs the task that the similarly-named parameter of an Audio Listener was intended to perform.

Performance Mode makes the code execute faster, but the effects of Volume are not automatically updated every frame. You can call the RefreshVolume() function, to make changes only when necessary, from external code.

JavaScript - Listener.js

<javascript>@script RequireComponent(AudioListener)

var volume : float = 1;

private var loudnessExponent = Mathf.Log(Mathf.Sqrt(10), 2);

function Volume (newVolume) : float { volume = newVolume; var listenerLoudness = Mathf.Pow(volume, loudnessExponent);

// volume values outside 0-1 mean nothing in Unity listenerLoudness = Mathf.Clamp(listenerLoudness, 0, 1);

AudioListener.volume = listenerLoudness; return listenerLoudness; }

function Start() {Volume(volume);}

// Change values in the Editor; get results. function OnDrawGizmos () {Volume(volume);}</javascript>
