Solved How to get engineId

Hello everyone,

for some reason I am currently trying to mute and unmute the engine sound while the game is running. To do so I found the function setEngineSoundParameter(vehicleId, engineId, paramName, paramValue). I do know how to get the vehicleId and I do know which paramName (engineVolume) and paramValue (0) to use (or at least I think so, can't try it out just yet). But I can't figure out how to get the engineId. Does anyone know how to get the Id of the engine?

Thanks in advance,
Stiegfried

 

powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").engineSoundID seems to sequentially number the engines in a vehicle, so for most cars its 0. If the engine doesn't have a soundconfig it's nil.

 

Thanks for the response, as you mentioned it returned either 0 or nil depending on the vehicle I tried it on. I already tried 0 but sadly either that's not it or setEngineSoundParameter(be:getPlayerVehicleID(0),0,"engineVolume",0) just doesn't work. I would consider that a possibility as I found that for example the function delEngineSound looks like this:

local function delEngineSound(vehicleId)

end

Or I just didn't get the other parameters right, though the console doesn't display an error when I try that but nothing happens (as far as I can tell).

Anybody got any other ideas on how to get this working?

 

Try main_gain instead of engineVolume. Will have to be a big negative number to completely mute the sounds.

 

Doesn't work either.

What I forgot to mention: A solution to mute the entire game would be fine as well. I was only asking specifically for the engine as I already found a way for all the other sound sources.
However I just found settings.setValue("AudioMasterVol",0,nil,nil) which works perfectly fine for my needs.

Thanks for your efforts anyways.
