Hey Scratchers!!!
I'm working on a game that has a soundtrack too it and i wanted to add a mute feature by pressing “m”
But its not working.
Hope you guys can help

Just add a command set volume to 0% when “m” key is pressed.

Try this:
When GreenFlag clicked
Set volume to 100%

When m key is pressed
Set volume to ((abs of ((volume / 100) - 1)) * 100) %

Abs means absolute value.
Plug in 100% and 0% to see how it works.

Hope I helped!

(EDIT: This switches the volume back and forth from 0% to 100%
If you don't want the player to be able to switch back to 100% again, use BobStanley's method)

When m key is pressed
Set volume to (0%)

Where is the absolute value thing???

operators!! (change sqrt to abs)

Thank you so much guys!!!!

Glad we could help!

It would probably be less complicated if there was a variable called “Muted?” and would be set to 0 if it was equal to 1, and the other way around. It would set the volume to 0 if the variable equaled 1, while it would do the opposite if it equaled zero.

Well, I try to avoid using too many variables, because it gets sort-of messy when you have a ton of variables…
Especially with the amount of variables I use in the first place! XD

Yeah… I already have 25+ variables

Of course we aren't saying variables are bad or anything!
Variables are the essence of a powerful project.
