Set audio volume globally #7690
Description
What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
When you want to create a sound volume control system in your game It becomes really inconvenient to provide a volume to every audio.play_with_settings() call. So it would be nice to provide a way to set sound volume globally to avoid boilerplate code.
Additional context
Also, it would be nice to have a possibility to set a volume to a specific sound type (e.g. Music, Weather, Ambient) in your game.

global volume could be in a resource
There is one open question: if a global volume is set, should the volume set when using
play_with_settingsbe absolute and ignore the global volume settings, or relative to it?st0rmbtw commentedon Feb 16, 2023
I think it should be relative to a global volume. Though, we can add two functions which would respect a global volume and do not.

I think there should be two functions:
play_with_settingsandplay_with_relative_settings(or something) that makes it explicit what the behavior is.LiamGallagher737 commentedon Feb 16, 2023
I'm going to have a go at this one, I'll let you know if I give up.
I did not 😁
