I tried to make a volume editor by pressing pgup and pgdn, I set the music volumeand soundscale to my global variable name volume in the setuplevel.fpi and use the triggerzone to activate it but didn't work.

Setuplevel.fpi:

Hi TodeGamer
After looking at your script I noticed the "pgdn" as key #202, it should be key #209. Also the syntax is "keypressed=x y" ( as in keypressed=209 then a 1 for true or 0 for untrue)
I also have a simple script just for this that Conjured Entertainment made awhile ago.
See if this works for you...?

Thanks man. Your script works fine, but I want the player to just hold the keys instead of tapping them. I edited my scripts but still doesn't work. I also want to give the player an option to edit the global volume. And can I save the variable in the ini or some sort of config?

Quote: "to just hold the keys instead of tapping them"

The problem I ran into is that a script cycles so fast just one tap it goes from one
extreme to the other. It needs a state to "stop" it to have some control over it.
I tried a few other things, like attaching the script to an unused "entity" but
had same results.

Quote: " And can I save the variable in the ini or some sort of config"

I did see once where member "hukuta94" did write and save to the "setup.ini"
file. It's worth looking into. The commands are there for this.."savesvar=This writes all setup variables to the setup.ini."
And a lot of others. I'll try a few things.

Alot of these are located in the "syntax" list. But after reading some more I see they are
related to the GUI-X9 hud & menu system. https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/190129
http://gui.rkwebcreations.com/
I've only used this once or twice. I think a conventional script would be best here?

I was able to get a timed script running for volume adjustment using pg up&dn keys.
Just attach to a trigger.

See how it works for you. Adjust timer to meet your needs.
I never could get the "musicvolume" to react with a variable.

Sorry for late reply. Your script gave me an idea. I'll try something to see if it works.

PS: Does GUIX9 commands only works if the game menu was built by the software? Or can I test the command in the test game? Sorry for bad Eng.

That EXACT same question hit me while doing some searches on the forums. I also recall someone saying that
the GUIX9 only runs on a build game. I know member "hukuta94" did a lot of GUIX9 work on menus.
