I just wanted to share my music script with fade out. Having spend some time trying to find one I modified some old ones from the forum and a stock FPSC script into the following:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Music In Zone (fade and destroy when player walks outside)

;Triggers

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1,musicoverride=$0,musicvolume=70
:state=1,plrwithinzone=0:state=2,timerstart
:state=2,timergreater=100:state=3,musicvolume=65
:state=3,timergreater=200:state=4,musicvolume=60
:state=4,timergreater=300:state=5,musicvolume=55
:state=5,timergreater=400:state=6,musicvolume=50
:state=6,timergreater=500:state=7,musicvolume=45
:state=7,timergreater=600:state=8,musicvolume=40
:state=8,timergreater=700:state=9,musicvolume=35
:state=9,timergreater=800:state=10,musicvolume=30
:state=10,timergreater=900:state=11,musicvolume=25
:state=11,timergreater=1000:state=12,musicvolume=20
:state=12,timergreater=110:state=13,musicvolume=15
:state=13,timergreater=1200:state=14,musicvolume=10
:state=14,timergreater=1300:state=15,musicvolume=5
:state=15,timergreater=1400:state=16,musicvolume=0
:state=16,timergreater=1500:music=0,destroy

;end of script

It should be used with a standard Trigger Zone and the music is defined in Sound0 directly in the FPSC editor. It's a nice little script if you have a range of small music samples that you want to trigger at certain points. When the player leaves the Trigger Zone the music fades out over 1.5 seconds (which is easily modified with the timergreater=x value (meassured in milliseconds))

Be sure to make the Trigger Zone larger than just one cell by holding shift down and dragging it larger since the music will fade out as soon as the player leaves the zone.

In this version the script destroys itself at the end. It is optional to send it back to state=0 so that the Trigger Zone is activated every time the player enters.

Hope this is a help for someone

Nice script! Here's my rendition that would work with Project Blue. Figured it might be helpful for you.

@Scurvy Lobster , just tried it out in Fenix Mod and it works exactly as it should. Very easy to set up, too. I'm already using it in my game. Thanks for this

EDIT: Small bug; it seems to stop my background music from playing throughout the rest of the game when the trigger zone is destroyed.

Plystire: I am already using it with PB so thanks for the script but it's really not needed

Kravenwolf: it's probably the music=0 that kills off the standard background music track. I am not sure how to get around this but if you find a fix I would like to know since I am planning something similar.

Don't worry, I won't feel bad if you don't use it. I just think that the shorter script would also be smoother in the way it fades out (Since it will fade out by 1 volume increment all the way until it is completely mute). It's also easy to change to make it fade out faster or slower by changing how much the script subtracts from the variable.

Ok, I didn't realise your scripts full potential at first. It does sound quite neat after all

First off, Plystire, thanks for the great script, and Scurvy, thanks for the original script. My question is, is it possible to fade in like you fade out? I've tried editing Ply's script to include an addvar, similar to the subvar that he currently has in, but it doesn't seem to work. Is it because the way that the sound0 works is an automatic play at full volume? If that's the case, is there a way to work around that?

I don't know about Plys script but for the original script you could do the opposite of the fade. At the moment it lowers volume as the time increases (fade) -> set it to start low instead and bring up the volume as time increases.

It should be possible to do within the same script but I don't know if you prefer Plystires edition of the script.

I just tried Ply's so far. I'll edit yours and see if I can get it working. If I can, I'll post it here.

EDIT: So it fades in fine, now, but it now doesn't fade back out. This is what I've done so far:

I think you are missing a state=10 (between state 9 and 11) so the script dies when the player leaves the trigger zone.

I'm also unsure how having two timerstarts affects the script.

Fixing state=10 fixed the entire script. It now fades in and out accordingly. Thanks for the help, Scurvy!

There is a working fade in/fade out script for music. Thanks for the help, Scurvy.

That should fade in and out just fine.

Ah. That's what I was missing. I tried making that script, but didn't add in a "varless=musicvol 100". Thanks for posting that up, Ply. I'm getting a little bit better at scripting, I guess.
